On this episode, I explore distant planets with synthpop space traveller [Twitchitt](http://www.twitchitt.com/), whose cosmic new record, Bubblegum Disturbium, is out now! It’s a fun conversation about her colourful (both sonically and visually) new direction, finding creative outlets during the pandemic, selling CDs door-to-door, and much more! Note: I accidentally erased the first couple minutes of this episode, so it launches right into the conversation as soon as it starts.

This episode is my interview with frontwoman Heather Thomas of Winnipeg's [ATLAAS](http://www.atlaasmusic.com/), all about R&B, synth-pop, music as catharsis, emerging from a bedroom cocoon and releasing songs into the world, and much more!

We go full-on spaghetti western this week with our good friend **Country Steve** , who is about to release his first full-length album (for new local roots label **[Golden Oak Record Company](http://goldenoakrecordcompany.com/)** ) after over a decade (on and off) in the Winnipeg music scene.
