• WR978: Irvin Miller

  I sat down with Irvin Miller, a recent transplant to Winnipeg (via Nova Scotia), for a conversation about soul, country, folk, and especially gospel music.His sound is a throwback to the 1950s and ‘60s, and he’s working on new music inspired by a wide array of influences. We talk about all of that and more! Want to support this podcast?

• WR977: Trauma Shot

  Good chat on this episode with two members of crossover thrash outfit Trauma Shot!Tune in for a conversation about their brand-spankin' new EP, ‘Where Weakness Dies’, shifting toward more hardcore influences, and much more… Note: this one jumped the queue a little bit because the new EP just came out a day or two ago, so it was a little time-sensitive.

• WR976: Yer Mum

  Fun hang with long-running local screaming enthusiasts Yer Mum, who are capping off more than a dozen years of punk rock with one last hurrah!Stay tuned for a conversation about Yer Mum’s last show (March 28 at the Osborne Taphouse), songs that never got recorded, jumping over people on skateboards, their actual mums’ opinions on the band, and more… Note: one of the band members had kind of a shitty connection, so it can be a bit choppy when he speaks, but it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the conversation. Need more Yer Mum (yes you fucking do)?

• In memoriam: Jory Strachan

  These episodes are the absolute worst. I realize that with the sheer quantity of podcasts I do, the odds are that some of the people I've interviewed are going to pass away too soon, but it's never any easier. This episode compiles various appearances on the show by Jory Strachan, who was a member of the bands 1971 and Rust Owl, and made solo music under the name Wrecker. Jory was just the nicest guy. He was on the show a few times over the years talking about various projects, and he even participated in one of the first live Witchpolice events, which led to his cameo appearance in a TV interview we did to promote it. I didn’t know him super well, but every interaction I had with him was delightful, whether it was a podcast interview, randomly running into him out and about, or even conversations on social media. He actually just started following my personal Instagram a few days before the news came out that he had passed. On this episode, you'll hear (in order): an interview with Jory and Bailee Woods (a/k/a Housepanther) about their split 'Homewrecker' record, the audio from the aforementioned TV interview on Shaw Cable Access, an interview with 1971 which includes a live acoustic performance, and a brief clip Rust Owl recorded while on a boat in B.C., encouraging people to check out my podcast. The goal of these 'in memoriam' episodes is to make sure, in some kind of small way, that the wonderful art created by people like Jory lives on, so I hope those who knew him can take some solace in hearing his voice and his songs again.    RIP to a really good dude who made great music. ...and in an effort to keep other late local artists' work alive, you may want to check out some of the other in memoriam episodes with past interviewees we lost too soon.
