January 07, 2015#81 - Best of 2014
Kicking off 2015 with a somewhat lazy look at 2014; most of these tracks were taken from Jamendo’s Best of 2014 playlist, with a few exceptions. I’m going to try to keep up with the podcast on a more regular basis in 2015 as well. In today’s episode I mostly talked about random things. Apologies for some of the music hiccups! My intention today was just to get a podcast released. Stay tuned to the end of the episode & hear some podcast recommendations.

December 06, 2014#80 - Saturday Afternoon's OK for Music
It's Saturday afternoon, and now's as good a time as any to release a podcast! I had no central theme today - just thought I'd find some cool Creative Commons music and string together a show. Still, I seem to have gravitated to a mostly Punk-themed selection but there should be a little bit for everyone (except maybe the hip hop crowd).

March 15, 2014#76 - The Workout Podcast
Drawing direct inspiration from CBC Radio 3's Sweatin' To the Indies, I present to you The Workout Podcast - Creative Commons version! I think I've attempted this before, but this time around the music is a lot better and I did my best to edit the music together so that it flows. Minimal interruption from the sound of my voice, wall-to-wall music...this podcast should help you when you need some high energy music during your work-out. The full playlist is below - including download links where possible in case you want to check it out. Thanks for listening!
