In the thrilling conclusion of Sara J’s deep dive with Kirk, the two pick up right where they left off—unpacking the heart and soul behind Discovering Downie, an 11-part passion project from Dewvre Podcasts & Such, exploring the solo work of Gord Downie, the legendary frontman of The Tragically Hip.

Kirk shares how the series, which just celebrated its first anniversary, sparked not just insight but connection, bringing together four strangers whose shared love for Downie’s artistry led them on an unforgettable journey, culminating in a meaningful trip to the band's hometown, Kingston, ON, and a special fundraising event.

The episode also weaves in a thoughtful discussion on making a difference in the world—however you can—and nerds out on all things gear, guitars, and amps. Music lovers, storytellers, and dreamers alike—this one’s for you.
