  • This is CanCon!

    Love this show! It’s helping me rediscover songs I love that I had totally forgotten about.

    Also, I never realized how many artists I listened to growing up were Canadian!

    It really makes me appreciate how effective the CanCon system was. Wish we could find a way to recreate this today and promote great Canadian acts 🇨🇦🇨🇦

  • CanCon Heaven

    This is the best current podcast about Canadian music. It’s fun, well-structured, with lots of callbacks, and a strong conceit (is it CanCon?) that keeps everything on track. Solid production, great hosts, and lots of audience interaction - it has it all.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Moist - "Push" feat. Marlaena Moore
Q: Can you tell us a bit about your relationship with Moist? Is this a new discovery, a lifelong love? What's going on here?
Marlaena shares her curiosity about Moist and reveals that her mother worked with the band's drummer, which adds a personal connection.
Jann Arden - "Could I Be Your Girl" feat Dorothea Paas
Q: Is something conscious, do you think, to separate your humor from your songwriting?
I didn't intentionally try to separate like comedy from my music, but my songwriting naturally goes into a more introspective and philosophical kind of deeper plane.
Jann Arden - "Could I Be Your Girl" feat Dorothea Paas
Q: What makes Jann a queen to you?
Honestly, I'm just newer to her hive, I would say, and I feel she's very relatable, down to earth and hilarious.
Lili Fatale - "Mimi" feat. No Joy
Q: Is there this feeling of like we have to appeal to France?
Yes, for sure. I think we are like the little brother or sister that is trying to get France's attention.
Lili Fatale - "Mimi" feat. No Joy
Q: Why did Lili Fatale pop into your head for this introduction to music that's big in Quebec?
They were super cool but then kind of disappeared, so they're like an enigma to me.
