We feature music this week from the new formed Ottawa rap group BlakDenim. They are recording their first EP right now and they placed 2nd in 2013’s Live 88.5 Big Money Shot, I expect to see a lot more from them in the future. Such a positive and uplifting vibe coming from them.
We got out to Orleans once again and had this interview at the unique St.Martha’s Brasserie d’Orleans. It was a pleasure this week to meet up with Jody Mitic (@JODYMITIC) who most recently represented Ottawa on the first ever Amazing Race Canada but has been a motivation to many people with injuries especially in the military as on he has been a survivor from a PED attack. We spoke about:
– How he got to Ottawa
– The SoldierOn program

– The restaurants he enjoys such as The Keg, Mello’s, Elgin Street Diner and Gabriel’s Pizza
– When Jet was in town they had a great meal at Giovanni’s on Preston street
– Who approached him to apply to get on the Amazing Race
– The show he pitched to OLN in 2009
– What the process was like to get on the Amazing Race
– Why he didn’t get to watch previous seasons of the American version
After the break we discussed:
– How they sized up the compeition when they arrived to Niagara Falls
