Episode 4 : Patti Schmidt

We chat with the eminent digital music and arts curator Patti Schmidt about discovering culture through radio while growing up the suburbs of Ottawa, her first radio gig at McGill and how’s she’s inserted herself into the underground music scene ever since. As a programmer at MUTEK and Artistic Director at Banff, she discusses the challenges of continuing to push creative boundaries, getting representation for the ladies, and how her dad still would still probably considers all of these “fake” jobs.
