This high-energy episode featured all the toe-tapping classics from the album, cassette and CD era spanning the show's early days from 1988-2008. We had two absolutely fantastic interviews – one with the talented 17-year-old Julia Dawson about her heart-pumping breakup anthem dropping June 6th everywhere, and another with the vibrant 20-year-old songwriter Madeline who shared her musical inspirations during her exciting debut chat on our live to air. They both are definitely firing up young musicians across NL and beyond! New Music Monday brought four fresh, pulse-racing tracks to our broadcast from Dicky Strickland, Miss Kris, Big Jib and Rachel Cousins.

We caught up with the enthusiastic Angie Reid from the Dildo Brewery in downtown Dildo, NL about their exhilarating beer fun run happening this Saturday, plus all the amazing musical guests bringing summer vibes to the brewery as the awesome weather rolls in back home.

This live to air broadcast was one of the hardest I had to do, yet somehow the most meaningful. NL lost one of its own with the untimely passing of legend Mark Hiscock. The first hour paid homage to this outstanding squeezebox player—one of the best the island has ever seen. I was able to talk to Paul Hamilton and Lindy Hickey of Hamilton Sound and Dave Fitzpatrick of The Fables. They shared their personal experiences with Mark and of course with his founding of the iconic band Shanneygannock. You'll hear some from Mark as well as Shanney and others to pay tribute to the one who is playing for those who passed before him.

Also on the show, we cannot forget the New Music Monday with debuts from Corey Poole, Kim Hamlyn, Logan Bolt, Evan Watts Smith and the sneak peek at Silver Wolf Band's newest single. All this and more on this podcast taken from the live show May 12, 2025.
