  • Refreshing

    I’m so excited to have found this podcast. The host adds depth to the artists covered by mentioning their beginnings which allows me to learn more about the person outside of their music. She also has a great voice to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 285 - The Northern Pikes
Q: How did you establish the relationship with Much Music and what went into making the 'She Ain't Pretty' video?
The band built relationships through Virgin and a dedicated director; the video was ambitious with claymation and high production costs, which helped push the band into national exposure.
Episode 285 - The Northern Pikes
Q: Tell us about growing up in Saskatoon's music scene and what it's like today.
Don describes a community-rich, hands-on early scene with few venues, a strong DIY ethic, and a gradual shift from local gigs to larger opportunities, all influencing their sound and persistence.
Episode 284 - Vanessa Williams "The Comfort Zone"
Q: What was Vanessa Williams' trajectory around the early 90s and how did The Comfort Zone fit in?
The album followed a controversial period in her life, became a commercial and critical homerun, and solidified her status with blockbuster singles like Save The Best For Last, showing a successful comeback into mainstream pop and R&B.
Episode 246 - Blue Rodeo
Q: What challenges did Greg Keelor face that affected his time with the band?
Keelor dealt with tinnitus and diabetes, which caused considerable pain and hearing issues, leading to a temporary departure from the band and a careful approach to how he could perform live going forward.
Episode 246 - Blue Rodeo
Q: What made Lost Together such a powerful live moment for audiences?
Lost Together connected with audiences through its storytelling about longing and isolation, inviting crowds to join in on the chorus and creating a shared, almost ritual-like experience that transcended the individual performers on stage.
