I've got hip hop artist Tristan/Wolf Castle here! We chat having no music scene on his small reservation, a family of artists, Bathurst, NS, utilizing a DIY mindset to the endth degree, and a lot more.
**Also I make a mistake in the intro. Tristan's label is "Castle Records", not "Castle Music". Apologies. Will update it.
Enjoy!

Bonus Thursday episode for ya here. It was originally recorded as an episode of the doomed podcast The Human Interest Hour -- doomed because I was at the helm of it and apparently I can only handle one project at a time. Sometimes not even that.
So!?
I'm collapsing regular interviews I do into YWS as bonus episodes. If you don't care about these general interviews, just ignore them! But I promise each monday will be your regularly ...
I have Nina and Morgan from Jolie Laide! This conversation goes everywhere. Apologies for the sound quality in moments... I promise I'll improve it soon. Maybe.
Enjoy!

It's beeeeen a while since Episode 2, when other BBQ Pope member Sean came on to chat about the history of the band and his opinion on their worst song. Now we have another member, Reid, who is also an actor. We spend a lot of time at first discussing that, and then we get into the music stuff.
Enjoy!

A special Thursday episode with the longest title known to man! I've really enjoyed listening to the Big In Canada podcast thus far, and wanted to get the word out, so I had music journalists and hosts of the pod Mac Cameron and Laura Stanley on to discuss the podcast's creation, its focus, and Canada's music scene as a whole.
Thanks!

We made it to 50! Nuts.
As a fun anniversary/marker thing, Jess Roveda thought it would be fun to have me be a guest some time. We landed on episode 50 and so here it is. I was an open book for Jess and she ended up kind of getting my autobiography out of me.
We do talk about some trigger warning material such as mental health/break downs and binge drinking, so keep that in mind if you choose to listen. Overall though, it was a ver...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
