Sound Therapy Radio is pleased to welcome Kat Thorsen as our in-house Art Therapist. Kat is the c0-creator of CJ the Sock Monkey and a regular participant at creative ventures around Vancouver. As a multi-talented Artist, Kat creates in many different mediums, graffitti, watercolour tattoos, body painting, sewing, crafts, film and animation.

J Peachy on the street with the recorder before, during and after the Olympic ceremonies. Tried to interview a protester, however they seemed to be tired of too many interviews. Wanted to see what was on people’s minds, including:
Heike, a German Canadian who has many friends opposed to the games provides her perspective on the games, just prior to the opening ceremonies. (1:25)
Katja and her friend during the fireworks after Wayne Gretzy came from BC place and lit the cauldron in Burrard Inlet. (:23)
The tail end of a random outburst of O’Canada by Fans on the street. (:23)
Barry a homeless person, who was collecting bottles as the festivities were going on around him. (:33)
Scott Hamilton, retired figure skater and now broadcaster. I was able to track him down randomly on the street while he was walking to his hotel. He shares his expereince at the ceremony, provides comments on the death of the luger and thoughts on Vancouver. (3:00)
More to come
With Vancouver being the epicenter for the 2010 winter games we wanted a mental health perspective. On this episode of ‘Art of the Mind’ we explore the psychology of sport and what tools are the elite athletes using to maximize their performance?
We speak with Ross Flowers a Psychologist with the United States Olympic Team to find out what mental preparation and techniques are being employed by today’s top athletes.
In addition, we talk with US Speedskating Executive Director, Bob Crowley on how Stephen Colbert, host of the Colbert Report and leader of Colbert Nation was named as the Assistant Sport Psychologist for the team.
Later in the show we will have Nicole Detling Miller, who was a guest on the Colbert Report and is Stephen’s Boss on the team.
We attempt to get some insight into Colbert’s recent fascination with Canadian Culture and what his plans are for the Olympics in Vancouver. Original broadcast date is Monday February 15th @ 7pm PST, online @ cjsf.ca.
Live in studio we have Karen Larson a local musician whose soulful tunes will keep our minds at ease.

We had the opportunity to interview Hon. James Moore the Minister of Heritage and Official Languages at the Golden Spike Days Fundraiser. His Federal Ministry is responsible for Canada‘s Arts, Culture, and Media. Moore recently announced a $50,000 grant for the Golden Spike Festival, which had been at risk of cancellation due to the elimination of BC Gaming funding. Moore recognizes the value of a $46 Billion industry and speaks of the Federal Government’s commitment to the Arts.

Crazed Hockey Fanatic: The David Blair Condition
April 13, 2011 in Commentary, Feature Interviews | Tags: aadhd, cjsf, David Blair, Ryan Fletcher | by J Peachy | Leave a comment
Does this look like healthy behaviour?
An in-studio psycho-analysis of David Blair on his recent Hockey fanaticism and erratic creative behaviour by Sound Therapy Radio Hosts (J Peachy, Conan and Randy) and Ryan Fletcher. As some know David created a song which expresses his twisted love for a local hockey team. However, those of us in the studio don’t think its really something that is very healthy in the long run.
Some believe he has Acute Accentuated Delusional Hockey Disorder (AADHD), a condition more likely to occur in the spring.
Here is our discussion (17 mins).
