Our season two premiere of our podcast series Melodies and Menus sees food writer Dan Clapson and singer Madison Olds chatting with one of the most familiar faces in Canadian pop music, Tyler Shaw, as well as My Ackee Tree author and Wall of Chefs judge Suzanne Barr.

Shaw discusses everything from returning to touring (alongside Josh Ramsay) to his love of brunch in Calgary and Saskatoon and dim sum in Vancouver while Barr talks about how her memoir came to be, diversity as it pertains to food television and why music plays an important part in creating atmosphere in a restaurant.
