Fireball XL5 is the name of an indie-pop show hosted by Frank Seglenieks that for 18 years was on CKMS 100.3 FM Radio Waterloo. However, as a result of a format change in mid-2008, Fireball XL5 is now heard only as a podcast.

Of course I stole the name of the show from the 60s British Supermarionation program, which featured puppets kind of like the movie Team America.

I play alternative music that usually classified as indie-pop with the occasional feature on a particular artist or theme as well as discussions on pop culture topics of the day. I start off each show with the best song that I have heard since the last
show.

August 21, 2015

I haven't done one of these in a while, but this show was an expansion of my random ending but instead of just the last song, the entire show consisted of random songs from my music collection.  I have been doing this a lot at work lately and it always sounds really good, unfortunately I'm not sure if this show really clicked, but that's the way the shuffle goes sometime.
