Podcast Overview

We all remember the moment we discovered that secret song on one of our favourite albums. Often, those hidden gems provide a revealing peek behind-the-curtain, leading us to new insights about the artists and recordings we thought we knew. CKUA's Hidden Track podcast aims to do the same, by bringing you stories that change the way you experience music. Any given week, we'll get to the heart of the song with the musician who wrote it, reflect on a landmark recording with the producer and engineer who helped shape it, or examine the legacy of a musical icon with the critic, biographer or industry player who knows them best. Whoever the guest may be, each episode will provide a moment of discovery you won't soon forget.

The East Pointers | Hidden Track Ep. 114

<p>Just like their music, a visit with East Pointers is always profound conversation — but feels just like a kitchen party! </p> <p>There were, initially, three East Pointers when this band started a dozen years ago. Tim Chaisson, his cousin Koady Chaisson, and their great friend Jake Charron, were the key members of the band.</p> <p>The band and their community suffered an unthinkable loss when Koady died unexpectedly and heartbreakingly in 2022.</p> <p>Amazingly, Jake and Tim have carried on in Koady's memory, and with his presence still very much being felt in what they do, onstage and in the recording studio. Their beautiful 2026 album Schoonertown is both a very personal work and a slice-of-life story, reflecting experiences drawn from small-town life in Canada's East Coast.</p> <p>The East Pointers stopped by CKUA's Edmonton studio for a laid-back and heartfelt conversation with CKUA's Grant Stovel.</p> <p><strong>Credits</strong></p> <p>Executive Producer: Arianne Smith-Piquette</p> <p>Senior Producers: Jasmine Vickaryous, Bronson Kashino</p> <p>Associate Producer: Scott Zielsdorf</p> <p>Host: Grant Stovel</p> <p>Music: Doug Hoyer</p> <p>Graphics: Tomas Spasiuk</p> <p>Special thanks to CKUA's Events and Marketing teams!</p> <p>The Hidden Track Podcast is a CKUA production, made possible by the generosity of our donour community.

Jenn Grant | Hidden Track Ep. 113

<p><span data-teams="true">Cradled By the Waves is the title of Jenn Grant's wildly creative new stage show — a live multimedia expression of the music found on her latest album, Queen of the Strait. It's about family, life, death, art, relationships, nostalgia, home, love, heartbreak, and how, as she sings on the album's opening number called "Jim Cuddy Dress," "Nothing that's real ever fades." <br />  <br /> It's hard to decide whether Queen of the Strait is simply a brilliant album, or perhaps a musical version or a great short story collection, or an auditory interpretation of a visionary film. So it's appropriate that Jenn has — for the first time ever in her career — devised an ambitious, immersive production to convey the songs through dramatic storytelling, film projection, and elaborate stage craft. <br />  <br /> During a cross-Canadian tour, Jenn Grant and her brilliant band took some time to come visit us at CKUA, and we're so grateful for this candid, thought-provoking, yet fun and warm-hearted visit. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Credits</strong></p> <p>Executive Producer: Arianne Smith-Piquette</p> <p>Senior Producer: Jasmine Vickaryous</p> <p>Associate Producers: Bronson Kashino, Scott Zielsdorf</p> <p>Host: Grant Stovel</p> <p>Music: Doug Hoyer</p> <p>Graphics: Tomas Spasiuk</p> <p>Special thanks to CKUA's Events and Marketing teams.</p> <p>The Hidden Track Podcast is a CKUA production, made possible by the generosity of our donour community.
