Show Notes

The new record by rapper/producer/singer/songwriter/Winnipeg expat Rob Crooks is a layered, cinematic meditation on grief. 

Here's our conversation about the four-song ‘Unhomely’, taking creative liberties with deeply personal stories, sonic experimentation, Winnipeg from an outside perspective, and much more.

Need more Rob Crooks in your life? He was an original co-host of this podcast way back in 2012-13, but he has appeared on the show as an interviewee more than pretty much anyone else as well.
