It's the Bryan Show! are radio broadcasts that I do with little forewarning on CKCU 93.1 FM in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This site is for housing the playlists, both archival and to-the-minute when a show is happening, as well as any other info that is deemed necessary to post. The shows listed on this page are available for On Demand listening by clicking the links that follow the playlist. The station's live stream is available here.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I started making mixes in late 2020 and uploading them as part of a podcast-type thing under the name "The End of Days". I took all of 2021 off and started up again in February 2022. They get created when they get created, and the shows can be found, widget-style, below.

I was supposed to cover for Ryan again on March 19, 26, and April 2, 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic has led to the station closing for the time being. I made podcasts, in the form of videos, which can be found below. "It's A Reasonable Facsimile..." consists of sets I was working on while preparing the show before the station shutdown, plus a few requests by my mom. "I Can't Believe..." was made the following week just to have something to do. Please enjoy, and stay safe.
