PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. September 13th, 2026

Welcome to this week’s edition of Simply Ottawa – a Sunday subsection of CFRA Weekends. We start today’s episode with a question: What does a ‘silent disco’ sound like? Well, if you head down to Gatineau next Saturday, you can experience that unique setting for yourself at the Canadian Museum of History! Andrew Pinsent delves into this new concept with Huw Joseph, who spearheads Silent Discos In Incredible Places. They are based in the United Kingdom. On a more serious note, this upcoming Friday is Military Family Appreciation Day, and the annual tradition since 2019 is unfolding at Kanata’s Brookstreet Hotel. Together We Stand, a non-for-profit organization, will be honouring Canada’s military families in a new way. CEO Rick Seymour delivers the details on that. Plus, did you know that Canadian sitcom Kim’s Convenience first started as a playwright? Yes, it’s true! And today, the show’s co-creator has cooked up a new creation – a playwright that you can see for yourself at the NAC. Ins Choi drops by for a visit. And finally, the 2026 edition of CityFolk is kicking off this Wednesday, and they are starting a new era at a new location.
