Shad returns to discuss his new album Start Anew, the connections between its title and his 2005 debut, When This is Over, and a Hayden song, persona, the person, and ego death, yearning for challenges in life and creative work, conquering the fear of stories ending, anti-capitalism, technocracy, and the fact that the inventor of A.I. believes there’s a small chance it might kill all of us and people are ignoring him, the devaluation of music, addiction and smartphones, ending another musical chapter, touring, other future plans, and much more!

Brian Fauteux is here to discuss his book, Music in Orbit: Satellite Radio in the Streaming Space Age, his lifelong interest in underground music, culture, and media, how the advent of satellite radio in the early part of this century modelled the way subscription culture functions now, the huge role Howard Stern, Bob Dylan, and Eminem played in all of this, and much more. Part of the South East Community Leagues Association’s speaker series, this episode was recorded live before an outdoor audience on June 22, 2025, at Edmonton’s Capilano Skate Park.
