We're Back!

Anyone else remember this movie?

Welcome to 2011 friends!  I hope Santa and/or Moses was kind to you this holiday season.  As for the Ipso team, we got what we were all hoping for: more textbooks to buy!

Before I get to Ipso Facto news, some tidbits from over the holidays.  One of our first interviewee's, Nathalie Des Rosiers of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, was named a nation builder of the year by the Globe and Mail.  Congrats to Nathalie!

We also want to congratulate our friends at the Law Enforcement Accountability Project for winning a 2010 Clawbie!

Now for the Ipso news.  This Wednesday, January 12th 2010 marks our first live show since the break.  And we're starting with an absolutely great episode.  Kim Pate, Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, joins us to discuss the Ashley Smith inquiry. Ashley Smith was a juvenile offender who died while in custody. Her death has raised many questions about how young offenders and people with mental disabilities are treated in our prison system. Tune in at 8 AM on CJAM 99.1 FM Windsor/Detroit or on www.cjam.ca

Ipso is also looking for a new member of our editorial board.  We need a promotions exec to run our facebook and twitter, and contribute the odd blog post.  Give us a shout at ipsofactoradio@gmail.com if this sounds like it's up your alley.  We don't need a resume, but we do need a few words on what makes you social media savvy, or just why you want to get involved. 


Coming soon: Podcasting so that you can work out to the sounds of Ipso, as well as more promotions.  All of us at Ipso are thrilled to continue working on the show and see it grow this year.  Thanks to all our listeners and supporters for making it happen!


Also; did you know the Golden ticket contest is still going on at CJAM?  Better get those entries in before it's too late!

CJAM Pledge Drive!

It's that time of year for CJAM's annual Pledge Drive!  The Pledge Drive is a hugely important event because it raises funds to keep CJAM going and expand our station signal.  That means great shows like Ipso Facto have a place to call home, and you get to hear the things that interest you on the radio! 

Ipso Facto has set ourselves a lofty goal of $300 raised this year, so help us out Windsor Law and donate!  If you can make a pledge, head over to www.cjam.ca or shoot an email to us at Ipso Facto at ipsofactoradio@gmail.com. 

What else do you get for your pledge, besides the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting campus community radio?  Why, there are some great incentives!  A mere $30 gets you a fashionable eco-friendly CJAM shopping bag, a friends of CJAM card (good for discounts at many fine Windsor businesses), and a CD from a selection chosen by the fine folks at CJAM.  The more you donate the more you can get, including t-shirts, hoodies, and stickers! 

So pledge soon, pledge lots, and thank you so much from the team at Ipso Facto!
