    Ryan Malcolm - "Something More" feat. Ryan Malcolm

    As Ryan Malcolm went from singing in an oldies cover band with his dad to becoming the Season 1 winner of Canadian Idol, he experienced first hand what it was like to be inside the guts of major label CanCon. Despite being the people's champ and having a number one hit single for several months (!), his place in the industry, as he tells us, came with an asterisk. Also discussed: reel estate, nature, Mile End Kicks, the PPLL, Canadian Idol, World Idol, recording "Home", screaming fans, wanting to win, Low Level Flight and much more.

    TEASER | Soccer is CanCon

    TO HEAR THE FULL EPISODE VISIT OUR PATREON As the World Cup takes over Toronto and Vancouver, we discuss the Boi-1da album that was maybe supposed to feature Tragically Hip remixes but now just includes a rather drab cover of Ahead By Century that will surely soundtrack the montage of Team Canada highlights once they are eliminated. It also features CanCon artists known and unknown. We talk about words that rhyme with "tryna", the Bishnoi gang, electric circus, buisness solutions, Bell Let's Talk, jock jams and much much more.

    McMaster & James - "Thank You"

    McMaster & James check all the CanCon boy band boxes. And while they never reached the ubiquity of some of their contemporaries, their lone album might be the best boy band album this country ever produced. Woah woah woah yeah yeah yeah. Also discussed: the Bounce, tributaries, Sook-Yin Lee, the tyranny of "oh baby", songwriting, Canadian Idol, music videos, choruses and much more.
