Album Authority is a weekly radio show hosted by its host the Album Authority on 101.5 UMFM and online at its website at the University of Manitoba airing every Thursday at 2 pm CT ^[1]. The show debuted its pilot on November 28, 2023. Album Authority's format involves its titular host talking about the album, artist, genre and their histories along with small talk about happenings in his life and around the world. So far, Album Authority has had one musician guest, Tired Cossack in the show's "first" season.

As of September 2024, the show is well into its second season focused on "goth" music to match the melancholic, yet beautiful Winnipeg fall weather.

History

Album Authority debuted in November of 2023 on 101.5 UMFM and online on the UMFM website. Episodes are archived on the UMFM website however archives for episodes from November 2023 all the way through June 2024 are not archived and considered lost media. ^[1]

Morrissey Mentions

Album Authority is infamously regarded by fans for its many mentions of The Smiths and their singer, Morrissey. The record for the most Morrissey mentions in a single episode is likely between either the "The Smiths" "Meat Is Murder" album back to back episodes from February 6 & 13 2023 respectively. Estimates for this record range from 50 on the lower end and up to possibly 100~, as there were very few listeners at that time and the episode was pre-archival the true number will never be able to be confirmed.

Format

Album Authority follows the general structure where the titular host, the Album Authority introduces the show with a sometimes, drawn out monologue about the following content as well as happenings/events about the host's life and the world. Then the album in question is played with sometimes insightful commentary and analysis of the tracks. The show always ends off with a song from a Canadian artist.
