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.

Note that the links to shows older than 6 months might not be working, if you really want those shows please send me an email and I can get them to you.

Moving the podcast

After many years of doing this podcast using the name Fireball XL5 I have decided to change the name to the one I use for my DJ nights: The Coolest Thing About Love

I feel this better represents the type of music I play and be assured that the show will continue to feature the best recent indie pop that I can find, along with some ventures into funk and soul as usual.

So please come on over to thecoolestthingaboutlove.ca where the Itunes link is working along with a way to get an email everytime I release a new podcast.
