WR907: Local music recommendations
As many of you know by now, I don't only release two episodes of the podcast a week -- I also have a Patreon page chock full of bonus content for supporters of the show.
Throughout 2022 and into 2023, I asked local artists for their recommendations of albums (or if they couldn't think of albums, just artists) with Manitoba connections, past and present.
This episode is a compilation of just some of those recommendations, taken directly from the bonus content on the Patreon.
If you're a Patreon supporter, don't worry -- I'm not giving away all of the bonus content for free. This is just a small sampling of the smorgasbord of bonus stuff that's posted there, including video, audio from the archives, bonus questions and answers, 'lost' episodes, and much more.
Back to your regularly-scheduled interview podcast next episode!
