Ep. #5: Exclaim! Editor James Keast at a Blue Jays game

My friend and colleague James Keast invited me to a Jays game on Sunday and it seemed like a great place for us to talk about jocks vs. music nerds, his work at Exclaim!, his role at the Polaris Music Prize and tips for jurors, his take on Arts & Crafts and their Field Trip show, his recent vacation to Prague, this idiot Lawrence who sat behind us and would not shut up, the Rolling Stones, NXNE this week and more. You’ll hear all of this from innings seven to nine, Texas Rangers vs. Toronto Blue Jays, June 9, 2013.

Ep. #4: Jim Guthrie band D.C. road trip featuring NPR’s Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton

I drove down to Washington D.C. with Jim Guthrie and his band (Samir KhanJordan HowardRandy LeeMarshall Bureau, and J. J. Ipsen) so they could record a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR for All Songs Considered . We almost got sent home at the border. Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton were kind to me and gave me the lowdown on different things. We all shared our feelings and dirty jokes. I had a mini-nervous breakdown during the show. Jim almost fought me. Good times.

Ep. #3: Graham Wright of Tokyo Police Club

Surprise surprise, another podcast this week. Even I’m surprised, surprised. I speak to Graham Wright about Tokyo Police Club playing the Red Bull Tour Bus (it’s a robot stage/bus hybrid!) for a free show in Toronto on June 2, why he feels bad for Mayor Rob Ford, and why he’s super excited about TPC’s new LP. Good talk.
