  • 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 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.
Episode 246 - Blue Rodeo
Q: How did Blue Rodeo's sound evolve from their early days to Five Days in July?
The band blended country-tinged rock and Americana with a willingness to try new arrangements, transitioning from more traditional rock to a warmer, more textured, harmony-rich sound that still carried Canadian storytelling. The shift was shaped by time in the U.S. and in Canada, plus internal changes like the Wiseman era and the farmhouse recording session that helped catalyze Five Days in July.
Episode 281 - Bell Biv Devoe
Q: What made BBD stand out compared to New Edition?
They offered a harder-edged, hip hop–flavored version of the group, which broadened their appeal and gave New Edition an alter ego on stage and in sound.
Episode 281 - Bell Biv Devoe
Q: How did you discover BBD?
The guest explains discovering them via radio and BET, then later appreciating their connection to New Edition and their unique sound that blended hip hop with R&B.
