    Ep 106: Being an Artist in the Modern Day ft. Courtney Wolfe

    Ep 106: Being an Artist in the Modern Day ft. Courtney Wolfe

    KW Singer/Songwriter Courtney Wolfe has been slamming down singles on Spotify that are so consistently awesome, that the slam alone would steal all your pogs. However, unlike when pogs were a thing, how an artist has to do it is completely different. Todd was curious to go back to that conversation, as well as deep dive into Courtney's awesome songbook and personal fascination with music. Katy didn't join the show this time around because she and her family are on the precipice of giving birth but will be back soon. We know it's been four months since the last episode and we appreciate your patience. This is the joy of naming the show after one's self and being beholden to no one. Having said that, DIG COURTNEY WOLFE, ENJOY THREE LIVE-OFF-THE-FLOOR performances by Courtney + her guitarist Shane; also GO SEE HER LIVE @ MAXWELL'S CONCERTS AND EVENTS TOMORROW (link below).

    Ep 105: NPRmageddon ft. Brian Keithley, Peter Podgursky & LeJon

    It's the end of the world and it's FUNNY! The creative team (Brian Keithley & Peter Podgursky) NPRmageddon, stop by with actor LeJon ('President Skullgore') to chat with Todd about NPRmageddon (What this scripted podcast is all about? What inspired it? How close are we to the apocalypse - let alone - a post-apocalypse!?), to list everything they know that's Canadian and of course, the frontier of audio entertainment! Todd is a huge fan, that's obvious, and he thinks you need to check out NPRmageddon IMMEDIATELY!

    Ep 104: Sometimes It's a Low-Energy Episode ft. Paige Warner

    Ep 104: Sometimes It's a Low-Energy Episode ft. Paige Warner

    Disclaimer: It's the same energy podcast, right!? Todd & Katy were both having a tired day, but not when Ontario Singer/Songwriter and returning guest Paige Warner was on(!) to catch up and chat about her new single "Lose Lose". You'll even get a LIVE PERFORMANCE of that number! Other than that, Katy moved mountains to keep the show on the rails and Todd went super cheeky about bands & TV shows, later advocating for pop-culture stoicism. To start things off, they did quite a segment on the 2023 Grammy Awards for two people who didn't watch them! Enjoy!

    Ep 101: New Year, New… Kinda New, But Same Podcast!

    Katy and Todd introduce themselves, talk about the podcast/where it’s been, talk about 2023 intentions and some TikTok b******t. It turns out that it’s very easy to use microphones and re-pilot a podcast, if you so choose. Sip some hot coffee and enjoy your morning or whatever with two of the Waterloo Region’s elder arts scene vets. Coming soon, songs & guests, what!? --- Chat recorded in Kitchener on January 9th, 2023.
