As a Canadian living in the US I am continually discovering that vast swaths of the soundtrack to my youth were only big in Canada. Even after over a decade here. Would love an episode on Hot Hot Heat, which may have been a little big outside of Canada, but deserve more love!
I've listened to quite a few back episodes and this podcast is really entertaining. As a GenX who has grown up with all of the music they talk about, it's funny to hear their (much younger) perspectives on some of the music I loved. The Moist episode in particular was funny just because I felt so offended by their views on a band I saw probably 3 or 4 times back in the day. But listening to their comments, I realized that yeah, sometimes music doesn't age well. Anyways, great podcast and I'll ke... more
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 🇨🇦🇨🇦
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.
