    EP 94: Inside the Outsider Arts Festival with Kagan Goh

    Kagan Goh is only half-joking when he tells you he's known as Vancouver's bipolar poet laureate. Slam poetry, in many ways, saved his life. On his journey to recover from mental illness, he's become a multi-hyphenate artist with achievements in the world of film, theatre, memoir-writing and, of course, poetry. SADCAST Host Becca Clarkson sat down with Goh in his home to learn more about his background, how it shapes his work, and what he's bringing to the 2024 Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival. Hosted by the Community Arts Council of Vancouver, this free event showcases the work of 56 artists in the margins of society, who don't follow mainstream trends or expectations. Check it out at the Yaletown Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre between October 11-13. This episode's local music feature is Doom Cocoon, a three-piece stoner psych garage band that I would 10/10 recommend seeing live. Theme and interstitial music by Kimmortal.

    EP 93: Inside the Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival with Francis Baptiste

    New mini series alert! SADCAST is taking you "Inside the Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival" ahead of the 8th annual event Oct. 11-13. This is a chance to get to know three participating artists, including Syilx songwriter Francis Baptiste. What makes him an outsider? Well, in his words, he's a "washed-up, divorced, recovering alcoholic trying to balance being a single father and middle-aged musician."  By listening to his new album S​ə​nk​̓​lip, the Trickster, you're supporting his efforts to learn, teach and preserve the endangered Nsyilxcən language. Catch Francis at VOAF 2024. Theme music and interstitial music by ⁠Kimmortal.

    EP 87: Between "The Rock" and a home space with singer-songwriter Miranda Joan

    Singer-songwriter Miranda Joan (@mirandajoanmusic) has a thing or two to say about home, the issue of SAD Magazine's upcoming issue. She also has a new record coming out in 2023, titled Overstimulated, and the singles she's teased so far promise a wild experience, inspired by an ~*unprecedented*~ time. It's silly, it's sexy, it involves a joke about Dwayne "The Rock Johnson" that goes perfectly far.
