The Osh Pod episodes

  • Ep 023 - @linkdmitrilink
    On episode 23 of the pod, Dmitri calls in from London (shout out to Southern Ontario) and we go deep on life, festivals and everything in between. Dmitri talks about his tattoos (super cool stuff during this part, definitely not what I was expecting), heading to Osheaga without loving any of the acts, whether it's too early to have your day planned out for Osh (it might be, but he's done it), a girl doing tattoos right, and a bunch of other stuff. Dmitri was a dope guest, and I enjoyed our conversation quite a bit - it's always really good to have a guest who knows the music, and takes time to really make sure they're going to have a blast at the fest. 
    Pals, there are only three weeks to go, and I'm down for a few more interviews before it's all said and done. Get at me, @TheOshPod on IG, and The_Osh_Pod on Reddit and LETS CHOP IT UP.
    Shout to the sub as always, continues to amaze me that anyone listens to these, but I really enjoy it and I hope you guys do too.

  • Ep 022 - Patrick Guay

    On a very special Osh Pod episode, Patrick Guay (@PFGuay) - a legit, in the flesh, Evenko talent buyer - stops in the chop it up with me about the the biggest Osheaga draw for artists (it's not what you think, that's for sure), growing with smaller artists, keeping Evenko lineups differentiated, the target demographics for Osheaga, some of this year's biggest sleepers, when and how the festival begins confirming the year's acts, a teaser for some stage and grounds fun activities on deck for 2019, a look ahead to year fifteen in 2020, and (of course) some Kawhi Leonard talk.  A huge thanks to Patrick and Evenko for scheduling this with me - the conversation was awesome, and Pat is only one of eight talent buyers working on this festival for all of us, so I'm grateful for his time. 


    Get at me if you want to do an episode of the show, I'm always looking for guests and I'd love to get a bunch more of you on to the pod before I wrap for the year. As it stands, we have four episodes scheduled remaining, but I'm happy to spam out a bunch more if need be. You know where to reach me - Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) or IG (@TheOshPod) - don't be shy!


    Thanks again to the subreddit for the continued support, show wouldn't be this fun without you guys and gals!

  • Ep 021 - Chuck

    On this episode, with like 5 weeks before the festival, Chuck (H3nrychin4ski) comes by and chews up a few of the more gritty Osh subjects. We cover some of the vices of choice, the security struggle smuggle, recovering from the weekend, along with some of the usual talk about the lineup, schedule and a whole bunch more. Chuck and I have been trying to make this happen since April or so, and I'm glad we (finally) got it done.

    You know the drill - if you want to be on the show, drop me a line. I'm still looking for guests and may abandon the once-per-week lineup if I can get more in person guests. Happy to do my best to get everyone on the show - it's been a blast.

    Hit me up on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) or IG (@TheOshPod) and let's get it.

    Next episode needs some input from you guys, so stay tuned this weekend for a sticky thread in the sub and an IG story too. You'll love it.

  • Ep 020 - @GrantLikeThe50

    Big one today.

    On Episode T W E N T Y of the show, Grant (@GrantLikeThe50) stops in on schedule release day, and we go deep. We cover some of the biggest conflicts, Tame's position on the schedule, some of the finer points of Breath of the Wild, and a ton of other stuff. Grant came ready and willing to go twelve rounds, so we did - to the tune of almost an hour and a half on all things music and life. It was dope show, and I'm psyched to release this as episode twenty.

    Get at me if you want to do a show - I'm on Reddit as The_Osh_Pod and IG as @TheOshPod. I want to record a few more of these shows before I wrap it up for the year, so shoot me a DM and let's make it happen! As usual, if you're near the Hamilton area, we can do this in person, I'll even buy the beer!

    Thanks to everyone for the continued support - I've had a blast, and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in Montreal this year. It's so sick that EVERY guest talks about a meetup either during the show or after we wrap, so I'm going to make it happen for everyone. Can't wait.

  • Ep 019 - Francis
    On this episode, my man Francis (Schrikk) calls in and chops it up with yours truly. We hit on the best food in MTL, what Osh looks like to a local, heading to the festival solo, functional festival gear, the difference between hitting shows for artists you love and hitting shows you know will be a good time, some updates on the new island setup (futuristic concrete platforms, anyone?) and a bunch of other stuff. Francis was a great guest, and like the other Quebec festival goers I've had on, he had quite a bit to say about Osheaga and other festival related stuff.
    Reach out to me on IG (@TheOshPod) or on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) and let's DO A SHOW. There's only about two months to go before we hit the park, so time's running out to jump on - don't be shy pals!
    As always, shout to the sub - keeping it 100 since day one.

  • Ep 018 - Phil

    On this episode of the pod, my long time pal Phil (@OshPodPhilly) comes over to my place to riff on Osheagas past, losing a shirt at the park, some of the best shows we've seen, and a bunch of other stuff you guys will dig. Phil and I have been friends our entire lives, and like I've said many times the people you attend the fest with are at least as important as the music you're going to see, so I'm thrilled to have Phil on the Osh team again this year.

    You should, definitely, send me a DM on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) or on IG (@TheOshPod), and we should do an episode. I've had a blast so far, and the whole thing has just been so much fun to talk to you guys/gals about your festival experiences.

    Thanks again to the sub, r/osheaga has been super supportive and it's really made the whole thing go. If you told me back in March that I'd even get ads on this show, I'd have laughed, but here we are, and I have you folks to thank for it. I really appreciate it pals!

    Peace!

  • Ep 017 - @Winter.Born.Child
    On this episode of the pod, Lupe (@Winter.Born.Child) stops in to discuss the finer points of cross country travel, things to peep in Montreal, dragging friends long distances, and her first time Osheaga expectations. Lupe called in at a time I figured was early for both of us, but as soon as I found out my 10:00 AM was significantly earlier for her on the west coast, I was pretty hyped she made time to do an episode. As usual, I enjoyed the conversation and Lupe went on a few of the longest uninterrupted diatribes I've seen so far, definitely a good conversation.
    You already know how to reach out to me - either on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) or on Instagram (@TheOshPod) - if you want to hop on an episode. Hamilton area peeps, definitely DM me and let's talk fest. First round is on me!
    Continued thanks to the subreddit (r/Osheaga) for the support - I continue to be surprised by the spins the show gets, and you guys and gals are really making the whole thing turn. Really appreciate it!

  • Ep 016 - @Maddisonj16
    On the first in-person episode of the pod, I head over to visit Maddie (@Maddisonj16) in the West end of the city. We talk about bringing your SO to Osheaga, festival rides at the park, some really solid Hamilton talk, and a bunch of other stuff I think you'll dig. I have to say, doing the pod in person is a lot of fun - you really get to see how someone is feeling while they're telling their story and it makes for a great discussion. Definitely want to do more of these, whether with Maddie or with other Osh-goers in the area. 
    Should you come on the podcast? Yes. Drop me a line on Reddit or Instagram (The_Osh_Pod and @TheOshPod) respectively) and let's set something up. I'm looking forward to continuing to talk to you guys, and people are really enjoying the show as well. It continues to be a ton of fun!
    Finally, this voice messages thing - give it a shot! Anchor is pushing this quite a bit as evidenced by the ads on the show, so try it and lets see hat it's all about - maybe we can do like an AMA or something, or I'll find some other way to use the stuff you guys send in!
    As always, my sincerest thanks for the support - it's very much appreciated, pals!

  • Ep 015 - @Aryeh_Kozuch
    On this episode, Lumineers homer and king of the half-smirk Aryeh (@Aryeh_Kozuch) stops in to defend The Loomies, talk heading to the festival with a members of the fairer sex, people of Osheaga and finally delivers some very important facts about ants. The ant-facts turn out to be a bit off base, but he followed up with me in DM afterwards with a correction because he is a MAN OF INTEGRITY.
    Aryeh had a ton to say, and it's always good to have a well-spoken dude on the show, especially since we had a bit of a struggle scheduling the episode around the usual life-gets-in-the-way stuff, and the Raptors (god-like) playoff run. Hopefully I get a chance to see the guy in the fields this year come festival time.
    You know the drill pals, give me a shout on Instagram or Reddit if you want to do a show! I know it's summer-ish now, and it's definitely my fault these have been slowing down as far as releases go, but I'll do my best to make time for ya!

  • Reddit Wrap May 10 2019

    I brought on hired gun and long time pal Phil (@OshPodPhilly) to help out with the bi-weekly recap show. We cover the Osheaga decibel controversy, catching herpes at Coachella, Ja Rule and Ashanti in place of Gucci Mane, Tinder's new Festival Mode, the new Instagram like update and a bunch of other stuff.

    You know the drill, get at me on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) or IG (@TheOshPod)  and let's do an episode.
