The Creative Imbalance

Today on the show we are joined with New York's Heavy Metal/Hard Rock journalist Robert Pasbani. Not only do we hear about how Rob created one of the leading metal music sites "Metal Injection", but we dive deep into his story which is truly about turning your love and passions into a full time job.

Today on the show we are joined with Kim "f**kin" Mitchell ! From playing at small bars with Rush, to cameos on Kid In The Hall and Trailer Park Boys. We hear all about his 40 year journey as a Canadian Classic Rock legend. Also we ask him the ongoing rumour if he actually hates playing his hit song Patio Lanterns? ... His answer to that is amazing!

Today on the show we are joined with Sam Cook aka "Slashin Sam" of the hit YTV show Uh Oh! From her early beginnings interning for David Letterman to currently hosting a brand new series titled The Shot. Sam tells us all about her incredible journey in both television and radio. Also beyond hearing about her experience in the industry we gotta say this is a very special episode. From light hearted fun and laughter, to hearing about some heavy moments (being an on air during 911) this is truly a wave of all emotions and a podcast conversation we will never forget.

Today on the show we are joined once again with our pal Bif Naked. This episode is full of great vibes as we candidly talk about a wide variety of subjects from social media consciousness, self health, celebrating life victories, positive mental attitude, and a bunch of things she has been up to lately.

Today we are joined with Johannes Eckerström of the Swedish theatrical heavy metal band Avatar. If you never seen or heard Avatar before, all I can say is it's an absolute SPECTACLE. We hear all about their humble beginning to the monster this band has become.

Today we are joined with your new favourite band of DIY-punk-rock-witches from the United Kingdom, Mimi and Lucy of Dream Nails. They have just released a brand new self titled album that kicks ass! Alongside hearing all about how that came to be, we dive into their story and philosophy of providing a safe concert space for women, non-binary, and the LGBTQ community ... also they have been signed to their US label by Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and share a hilarious tale he told them about why he never cuts the ends on his guitar strings.

Today on the show we are joined with Canadian national treasure George Stroumboulopoulos aka Strombo! Over the years he has worn many hats under the media/radio/television umbrella as a both a producer and on air personality. He's interviewed everyone from your favourite unknown punk band to the Prince of fucking England (and all that's in between). We had the pleasure on this episode to candidly pick his brain about his vast journey that is not slowing down any time soon.

Today on the show we are joined with the infectiously ambitious and great vibes of Launchpad Creative founder Clifton Skelliter. Beyond being the leader of an incredible advertising/branding/design agency we dive into his story of his path of how he got to where he is today. From formerly being both an on air personality, and video producer for CTV News, to going back even further into his early childhood of obsessively breaking down the layers of film and television he was exposed to. This conversation also takes many twists into philosophical subjects about different personality traits, being an extrovert who takes the extra steps to be a voice for the introverts, evolving social skills, personal connection, and just a great chat about life in general.

Today on the show we are joined with singer/songwriter Jean-Paul De Roover. While hearing all about his journey as artist, we dive deep into his conceptual mind to get the inside scoop on his two latest albums titled "Love" and "Loss". What we love about Jean-Paul is he never limits himself by putting his artistic expression inside of a box, is a mentor to up in coming artists with his studio/community space (Blueprints), and is a prime example of prevailing through perseverance.

Today we are joined with the ever so dope Polaris-nominated music producer/DJ Paul Chin. Paul is a few days away from releasing his brand new EP titled Full Spectrum. We dive deep into his story, learn about the layers of his music production process, how the EP came to be, working alongside with Juno award winning emcee/ Canadian hip-hop legend Shad, his musical influences beyond hip hop (Anime and Video Game scores), an in depth look at pizza connoisseur culture ... and the real hard hitting questions like "Who is his favourite Pokemon?".
