    WR916: Epic and Rob Crooks

    WR916: Epic and Rob Crooks

    It's a conversation about prairie rap, aging, beats, new music and more with Epic and Rob Crooks!
    At the time this episode is being posted, they're days away from the release of the excellent Nassau Manor LP (Saskatoon Folk Rap Records/Hand'Solo Records), which was recorded here in Winnipeg and is coming out July 26 on vinyl, CD, and that streaming shit the kids like.
    Need more? Epic last appeared on episode #508 (Aug. 2020). Rob was an original co-host of this podcast, so he appeared on numerous episodes more than a decade ago, but relatively recently -- as a guest -- he has appeared on episodes #853 (with Kitz Willman, Dec. 2023), #773 (March 2023), #657 (Jan. 2022, with Gruf and Yy), and #527 (Oct. 2020).

    WR915: Nic Dyson (with guest hosts Sean and Todd McGinity)

    WR915: Nic Dyson (with guest hosts Sean and Todd McGinity)

    It should come as no surprise to regular Witchpolice listeners that I'm a big fan of singer-songwriter Nic Dyson's music, so when guest host Sean McGinity suggested recording a new interview with Nic, I was all for it.
    Sean is joined by his brother Todd in the guest-hosting chair for this episode -- a familiar situation for the McGinitys, who have released 500 episodes of their own Seangeek and FastFret Podcast!Nic, Sean and Todd have a very sweet conversation on this one, all about emotional music, Nic's new punk band and balancing that with his intensely personal solo work, and so much more.
    Need more Nic Dyson in your life? Check him out on episode #469 (March 2020) and #640 (Nov. 2021)... and if you can get past the brutal sound quality, he was also on an experimental live episode we did, #255 (Nov. 2017).
    You can also hear a previous interview with Nic on Sean and Todd's podcast: #261 (April 2020).

    WR914: VVonder (with guest host Stiff Wiggle)

    WR914: VVonder (with guest host Stiff Wiggle)

    On this episode, the guest host spot is taken over by the illustrious Stiff Wiggle -- synthesizer enthusiast, art rock experimentalist, and now podcaster!Stiff sat down with two members of pop-indebted rock n' roll outfit VVonder, to talk about their unique sound, upcoming music, weird experiences at local record stores, and much more!
    (Speaking of weirdness: for some reason five minutes of the conversation near the end did not want to cooperate with me, so I had to edit around it, but I may update the audio file later on to include it. Thanks.)
    Huge shoutout to S. Wiggle for the hosting assist. Stiff -- a past interviewee on this very show -- did the team proud in this interview.

    The USA’s number one Winnipeg-music-appreciator, Greg Soden (of Unscripted Moments: A Podcast About Propagandhi), is back in the guest-host chair after a successful appearance on episode #910!
    On this episode, he sat down with acclaimed local producer/musician/engineer/multi-hyphenate John Paul Peters. Tune in for a chat about JP's extensive career at Private Ear Recording, his early musical experiences in bands like The Undecided and Officer Down, and much more!
    Big shoutout to Greg for helping out with some episodes. I'm still going to be hosting the majority of 'em, but you'll hear a few more guest-hosted interviews throughout the summer (from Greg and others).
