Jesse Matas of critically-acclaimed local folk/roots touring machines The Crooked Brothers has a long history with Witchpolice.

He also performed a number of live acoustic songs (including a cover tune and a Crooked Bros. classic), which you'll hear throughout the episode. ...
Occasional co-host Ryan is back for this episode, taking over the main hosting duties alongside Tony Beaudoin of Union Stockyards. Together, they interviewed punk rock power duo [Mobina Galore](http://www.mobinagalore.com) a few months back, presented here in podcast form. Mobina Galore were first on the podcast [way back in 2014](http://witchpolice.podiant.co/e/3551914c1b2ceaL/), so obviously a lot has happened since then, especially since their career has absolutely skyrocketed. Ryan and Tony get into some of the highlights with them and much, much more! This episode brought to you by our friends at the [Park Theatre](http://myparktheatre.com/).

[Kitz Willman](http://kitzwillman.bandcamp.com/)'s new record, [Royal Visit to Uranium City](http://kitzwillman.bandcamp.com/album/royal-visit-to-uranium-city), is a wild ride through hip-hop, jazz and experimental sounds. We talked about his impressions of the city as a new Winnipegger, embracing the saxophone, bringing a hardcore punk background to hip-hop, babushkas, and so much more. It's a good one!
