Yorkton mornings, rock news, weird headlines.
CRUZ Mornings Podcast is a brisk Yorkton morning-show feed built from local check-ins, rock-radio energy, and strange news detours. It moves from McHappy Day and charity runs to new Stones music, smart glasses, maple syrup scandals, and ghost-noise lawsuits.

CRUZ Mornings Podcast preserves the quick, lightly chaotic rhythm of a local rock morning show. It begins where many real mornings begin: weather, traffic-adjacent mood, coffee, breakfast, and whatever is happening around Yorkton. The show has a strong local pulse. McHappy Day, the Health Foundation's Learn to Run Clinic, community concert bands, a car dealership anniversary, and Father's Day plans all appear as part of the regular flow rather than as formal interviews or civic bulletins. It is practical, but rarely plain. A segment about charity road races can sit near a joke about cheese toast, while a sponsor mention can lead back into rock-radio business without much ceremony. Music news is a constant anchor. The show talks about Bruce Dickinson, Nickel McBrain, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith, Steve Winwood, Chad Smith, and Charlie Watts with the casual familiarity of a station built around rock memory. The other major ingredient is weird headline comedy. Apple smart glasses, inflatable dinosaur records, firefly-DNA street-light ideas, maple syrup fraud, and a court case involving ghost noises all become fuel for conversational riffing. The humor is clean but blunt enough to feel awake. It is less polished magazine show than captured radio momentum, with jokes, local plugs, weather complaints, and community service sharing the same lane. Reader and Grayson give the excerpts their recurring identity, with Reader sometimes carrying the show solo when Grayson is away. Guests appear when the subject is grounded in Yorkton life, especially health fundraising and running events. The result is a podcast for listeners who like morning radio's immediacy without needing a long narrative arc. It is neighborly, rock-minded, and willing to chase a strange headline just because it makes the next few minutes better.
Made for: For listeners who like local morning radio with rock references, community updates, and quick comic detours. It especially fits Yorkton-area audiences and anyone who enjoys casual commute-length banter.
What sets it apart: The show pairs small-city specificity with offbeat headline riffing, so a single episode can cover a charity run, a McDonald's fundraiser, Rolling Stones album news, and bogus maple syrup. Its appeal comes from that local-radio mix of useful, odd, and conversational.
A daily show that’s not for the faint of heart. Because people with faint hearts should always be careful. Mornings on CRUZ FM.
