CKUW's Annual "Pass the Mic" Event

Each year CKUW engages the community in a week-long event called "Pass the Mic". During this special event radio programs on CKUW are co-hosted by a celebrity, an artist, a colleague, or a listener. The co-hosts bring a unique perspective to each of the shows, and this in turn gives you the listener some amazing programming to take in!
