This Sunday it's our St. Patrick's Day Strombo Show - CBC Radio 2

Morning Host Bob Mackowycz Jr drops by to play us some of his favourite

Irish themed records and the whole show has that certain green tinge.

Astrologer and horoscope writer Phil Booth comes in to talk about the

end of the world... is it nigh? Plus, wave a fond farewell to the G12 as

we welcome it's more slender cousin the Magnificent Seven. This week's

Blend comes from turntablist M-Rock.
