    Inside the Life of a Professional Magician | Matt Gore

    What does it actually take to make a living as a magician? Matt Gore has spent his life figuring that out. From discovering magic as a kid in Cape Town and learning how to command an audience, to performing more than 3,000 shows and competing on some of magic’s biggest stages, Matt has built an entire career around making difficult things look effortless. We get into the years of practice behind a single effect, what separates doing tricks from actually entertaining a room, and what happens when something goes wrong live. Matt also shares what it was like leaving an established career in South Africa and rebuilding from scratch in Canada. The conversation also gets into the business behind being a professional entertainer, why Matt expanded into hosting and keynote speaking, how becoming a father changed the way he works, and where he wants to take his career next, including a bigger one-man show and new opportunities beyond magic. And yes, there’s magic. Stick around to the end of the YouTube episode for one more trick after the conversation wraps.

    Inside CIFF: How Calgary's Film Festival Comes Together | Adam Keresztes

    What does it actually take to build a film festival? Adam Keresztes is the Lead Shorts Programmer at the Calgary International Film Festival (CIFF), where thousands of submissions, hundreds of decisions, and a whole lot of movie watching eventually become one of Calgary's biggest cultural events. Adam joins The Deets with Duddy to explain how he went from software developer to film programmer, what makes a movie stand out, why even great films get rejected, and how the programming team turns individual selections into a festival. We get into everything from forgiving technical mistakes (except bad sound) to programming disagreements, filmmaking trends, and why some incredible movies might never be seen again if you miss them at a festival. We also explore Calgary's growing film industry, what CIFF can mean for local filmmakers, how festivals create opportunities for networking and discovery, and why supporting Alberta-made films matters if we want the industry here to keep growing. Plus, Adam gives us a look at CIFF 2026, including a record number of Alberta-made shorts, two nights of Alberta Shorts programming, major films coming to Calgary, Cody Lightning's Smudge the Blades, and how to approach the festival if you've never been before. The Calgary International Film Festival runs September 24 to October 4, 2026.

    Inside Calgary’s Music Scene with Logan Middleton

    Logan Middleton hears a lot of new music. As the host of Xposure on X92.9, he helps spotlight local and independent artists on commercial radio while working across music programming and production at the station. We talk about Logan’s path from being a music-obsessed kid and playing in bands to finding his place in radio, what makes a song immediately stand out, and what he has learned from hearing as many as 50 to 100 submissions in a week. Logan also explains what an Xposure spin can mean for an emerging artist and why getting played on commercial radio can open doors beyond that first moment. The conversation also gets into what makes Calgary’s music community different, why artists here seem so willing to support each other, the bands Logan is excited about right now, and what he would still like to see change as the scene grows. Plus Kue Varo, Shy Friend, Micah Sage, Victrix, Guided by Voices, Sultans of Swing and a very specific casting choice for the Logan Middleton biopic.

    Pat Kordyback on Delta Sweet, Stereos, and Doing It His Way

    Pat Kordyback joins The Deets with Duddy to talk about Delta Sweet, Stereos, MuchMusic, Summergirl, and what it means to build a new music chapter with real experience behind you. Pat looks back on the grind before Stereos broke through, the wild overnight shift after MuchMusic’s Disband, and how fast life changed when Canadian television could still turn a band into a national story. He talks about Summergirl taking off, getting recognized almost instantly, the power of the music industry machine, and the lessons that came from living through that kind of success. The conversation also gets into ego, yes-people, taxes, nostalgia, songwriting, country music, humour, and learning what kind of life you actually want once the attention changes. Pat is funny, honest, and self-aware about the parts of that era he is grateful for, and the parts he would not want to live through the same way again. Now with Delta Sweet, Pat is making country music that feels personal, funny, direct, and fully his. He talks about specific songs, performing under a new name, building trust in country music, and why this chapter is not about starting over. It is about doing it his way.

    The Royal Foundry: Making Music Without Following the Formula

    The Royal Foundry have never been interested in staying in one lane.Jared Salte and Bethany Schumacher join The Deets with Duddy to talk about how their very different paths into music eventually became a shared creative life, and how those differences still shape the way they write, produce, perform, and make decisions together.They get into the evolution of The Royal Foundry’s sound, why they’re comfortable changing from album to album, what makes a song feel like theirs, and how their process has become less polished and more instinctive over time. They also talk about being introverted performers, the awkward reality of accepting awards and speaking on stage, and why the pressure to act like “rock stars” has never really fit them.The conversation also digs into what it actually takes to make music for a living, from publishing and sync work to touring, writing, recording, and piecing together all the different parts of an independent music career. With a new album on the way, Bethany and Jared explain why it feels like their most honest and raw work yet, and why making it brought back the feeling of creating music when they were younger.Calgary is full of interesting people doing interesting things, and The Deets with Duddy is all about bringing them into the spotlight.
