The season concludes with Glenn Radley, a singer/songwriter and touring musician. Andy and Glenn discuss the inside jokes that come from living out of a van, the odd places touring can take you, and the cost of following your musical dreams and ambitions. 

Andy wraps up the season with some thank-yous, talks about what the show means to him, and previews some ideas for the next season.

Comedian Tim Gray joins the show to talk about social politics in comedy, performing  internationally, and getting married on CBC's 'The Debaters.' Our political discussion births a song saluting Social Justice Warriors everywhere - even those without a Twitter photo.

What started as a hangout turned into an impromptu episode of the show! Songwriter and guitarist Ava Glendinning joins us to discuss the tangled nature of local music scenes, bad retail jobs, and the darker side of online amateur fiction. A discussion about childhood music lessons leads us to a song about another childhood memory - an imaginary friend that turns out to not be a nice person.

This week we meet Andrew Sookram, owner of Sookram's Brewing in Winnipeg, to discuss ambition, passion, motivation and of course beer. Recorded in the Sookram's taproom, we make our way through a flight of beer as we go, as Andrew explains the brewing process, and how he went from home-brewing to opening his own business.

For track 6, we welcome Jen Zoratti, columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. Jen discusses how she covers both the big topics that dominate the public consciousness, and the more obscure stories that lie around the margins. She shares some stories from her days as a music journalist covering concerts, and the time she knew she was in trouble because Lauryn Hill was coming to town. Andy and Jen share their mutual disdain for abusive online commenters, and it becomes the subject of this week's song.

Andy also shares some memories of the worst Hallowe'en treats he ever received.

This week's guest is Eric Ducharme, a musician/songwriter and pizza aficionado from Winnipeg. We talk about being a quiet person, sketchy apartments, ASMR, and the importance of personal space. Andy and Eric sample some neighbourhood pizza offerings, and give their opinion on bougie bakery pizza vs greasy late-night slices.

Andy also shares some thoughts on Halloween, and growing up as a quiet kid.

Creative force and total Tech Bro Joel Klaverkamp joins the show for a discussion on machine learning, automation, making music through coding, and a post-scarcity future. Andy and Joel create a song that merges computer drum beats with real human emotion and a bit of 80's melodrama. 

Andy also has an update on last week's winter storm. Long story short, it's warm again, the snow is melting, and it feels like Spring, which bad because it's the exact opposite of Spring.

Writer, speaker and activist Alexa Joy stops by to discuss art, passion, politics and teaching grandmas to beatbox. Alexa's secret connection to the podcast is revealed - you've been hearing her voice every episode! After a heavy interview, we let loose with an improvisational jam where Alexa *is* the beat.  Andy talks about Canadian Thanksgiving, the early-winter storm that buried Winnipeg this week, and the federal election.

This week Andy talks with Kerri Salki about working together on the radio, the time they broadcasted a news story full of nonsensical dog puns to an audience of thousands, online dating, feeling good about getting fired, and the first electric lamp in Western Canada. Kerri improvises a song about Keto Diet while Andy tries to keep up with some shaky piano chords.

We open our first season/album with a conversation and song with Matt Moskal (@mrmattmoskal on Instagram) - songwriter, podcaster, and generally creative person. Matt and Andy discuss inspiration, cultural villains, memes, gaslighting, and Witch Twitter. A rainy July afternoon births a song that ruminates on the utility of bad coffee - it doesn't just keep you awake on long drives, it can also be just the thing you need when you feel like punishing yourself.
