On this episode of the podcast Cody sits down with Ben Montgomery and Ben Price who together host and create the Calgary Basement Sessions video podcast. As you can imagine the three of them talk all about the ins and outs of producing a podcast that showcases the talented individuals found within their city. They also cover a wide range of other subject matter including: making connections through inviting people into your basement, the opportunities that the pandemic has created for people, getting better at having conversations because of podcasting, the vastness of the Calgary music scene, using the skills you already have to create something new, growing your brand through collaborative social media marketing, getting a crash course in country music, getting to know the people behind the music and making musicians more relatable through long form conversation, the things that you learn from stepping outside of your comfort zone, the interconnected nature of the Calgary arts communities, the funk revival that is taking place, the joys of a good horn section, the challenges of editing video in a comprehensive way, doing what you gotta do with what you have when you are first getting started, the incredibly magical place that is Long and Mcquade, the lyrical importance of country music and how it differs from the main stream pop country, and much more.
