Acclaimed Manitoba-centric music interview podcast. Hosted by Winnipeg journalist and massive record nerd Sam Thompson. Music talk radio, broadcasting from 2012 'til forever. DIY or die.
If you've been following the podcast on social media, you've probably seen a whole pile of new interviews slated for upcoming podcast episodes, but because most of them are tied to upcoming events, they won't be coming out in the order they recorded.
The first one to jump the queue: my conversation with vocalist Zachary Rushing, about his upcoming concerts alongside the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra (Nov. 7-8 at CCFM, get tickets at the WJO website), celebrating the music of jazz/R&B/pop icon Al Jarreau!
We also talked about Zachary’s love for the Great American Songbook and why that music is so enduring, touched on his plans for new original music, and much more.Need more WJO content? Check out episode #750 (Dec. 2022), in which I interviewed the WJO's Richard Gillis, and episode #1050 (Oct. 2026) with saxophonist Neil Watson.

Colour By Numbers

I interviewed all three members back in 2018 on an episode of 'Mom's House' (video) I guest-hosted.

I know I never shut up about the importance of preserving local music, but I’m not the only one who feels that way! Here's a conversation with CKUW 95.9 FM's Scott Price, all about a pair of archival projects that are bound to get you excited if you’re anything like me.Not only is Stylus Magazine set to unveil its extensive archives, but CKUW is embarking on an ambitious plan to digitize its enormous catalogue of local music!
The first part of the project (the Stylus archives) launches Nov. 5 with a pay-what-you-can show at the West End Cultural Centre.
