    About the series...
    In the early 1900s unfortunate and irreversible mistakes bind Hermes, the god of travel, in gold. Now a statue, Hermes is passed from one continent to the next bringing bad luck and a feeling of “stuckness” everywhere he goes. World powers unite and decide the only solution is to send him as far away as possible to a place that no one cares about… a place in the middle of nowhere… Winnipeg, Manitoba. For over a century Hermes has perched atop the Legislature and we call him the golden boy, a statue reeking a feeling a apathy through the city and not letting anyone leave, even after they have passed away. Enter our heroes, regular every day Winnipeggers who feel stuck but are sucked into an adventure exploring the city and meeting an infamous cast of characters (from Stephen Juba to the Grey Nuns and from Nellie McClung to Burton Cummings) who give them a new perspective. A hilarious roller coaster ride through time, winters, socials, mysteries and many vacant floors of the Downtown Bay, 204FM is a uniquely Winnipeg buffet, created by top Winnipeg comedians and theatre artists for the citizens of our one great city.

    In 2016 this project was made possible with the support of Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council. Thank you to our partners WECC and UMFM. The 2020 re-release is made possible by COVID-19 and a swift response by Manitoba Arts Council.
