Great conversation with Jaymie Von Riesen of alt-folk project Well Sister about her haunting new LP, ‘Katabasis’!
We talked about the connection between the album’s mythological title and its themes of mental illness, about releasing it on vinyl during the pandemic, and much more!

Although it snowed a week or so after this episode (of course it did, it's Winnipeg), we took advantage of the nice weather for an outdoor episode recorded on a picnic table at Assiniboine Park(!) with up-and-coming folk-punk artist Harley James Flett. In a conversation that goes in all kinds of directions, we talked folk music, Bad Brains, the ins and outs (but mostly outs) of attending music festivals, "chin" songs, the cassette renaissance, Harley's already-prolific Bandcamp catalogue and a lot more. ...
On Sept. 27, we pulled out all the stops for our first-ever (and hopefully first of many) live onstage podcast. The show, celebrating our milestone 150th episode, featured interviews and live performances with old friends and collaborators Rob Crooks, Nestor Wynrush, Country Steve and first-time guest Mona Mousa. Although the turnout wasn't record-breaking, the crowd more than made up for it in volume and enthusiasm. We certainly hustled to get the word out about this event, with coverage from local newspapers The Metro, The Uniter and a number of campus radio interviews leading up to the big night. Huge thanks to everyone who came out and supported. It was a blast. We can't wait to do more live and direct events in future! ...
I had a great conversation (as always) with country singer, songwriter, and now backwoods guide, Quinton Blair.We talked about shifting his focus to intimate outdoor concert/riding/camping experiences via his Woodside Outfitters project, about the challenge of songwriting during the pandemic, a pile of new music he’s been sitting on, and much more.
