On the latest episode of Melodies and Menus, Dan Clapson and Hailey Benedict chat with country music icon Carolyn Dawn Johnson as well as Melissa B from Traitors Canada.

First, Carolyn Dawn Johnson talks about her approach to supporting independent artists, watching Nashville grow over the past three decades and her new single "Road Blocks".

Hailey and Dan discuss the third episode of Traitors Canada before its first eliminated Traitor, Melissa B, joins the co-hosts to chat.

Hailing from St. John's, Melissa loves her local live music scene and shares some of her favourite local artists in addition to chatting about iconic Newfoundland foods, and her experience filming Traitors Canada.

Hailey Benedict and Dan Clapson are back with another episode of Melodies and Menus, and they kick things off chatting with Survivor 41 winner Erika Casupanan about her experience filming Traitors Canada.

Erika shares plenty of tips for reality TV competition hopefuls, her favourite spots in Toronto and a ton more.

Next up, Clapson chats with chart-topping act MacKenzie Porter.

With her latest single "Chasing Tornados" hitting No. 1 on the Canadian country charts recently, MacKenzie Porter is the first female artist this century to achieve six No. 1 hits. The award-winning singer has even more to be excited about too thanks to her first-ever headlining tour which kicks off in early November.

She chats about favourite comfort foods when she's back home for a visit in Medicine Hat, Nashville hot spots, and much more.

We've got a special guest co-host for our fall episodes of 'Melodies and Menus' and it's none other than CCMA Award-winning country singer Hailey Benedict!

Hailey joins Dan Clapson, who shares her love of reality television and especially 'The Traitors Canada' and 'The Great Canadian Baking Show'. Both shows premiered recently, so the co-hosts chat with the series' respective hosts, actor Karine Vanasse and comedian Ann Pornel.

While 'The Traitors Canada' is chock full of lies, deceit and drama (in the best way possible), most Canadians know that 'GCBS' is all about those heartfelt moments and friendly competition.
