The Osh Pod episodes

  • Ep 014 - Pokoroa

    On this episode of the pod, Telena (Pokoroa) hops on to talk Dirty Shwa, (finally) some love for Black Tiger Sex Machine, Joji/Pink Guy/Cringecore/RnB or whatever genre he plays, her love for Hozier, and some stuff she's looking forward to about heading to Montreal. Yet another dope conversation that ends up hitting a bunch of tangents, and like usual I enjoyed the discussion, and big shout to Telena for her time!

    By now, you know how to get a hold of me - Instagram (@TheOshPod) or Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) - if you want to do an episode! Still looking for a willing guests in the Hamilton area as well, so don't be shy! Plus, it's getting pretty nice out, and I know a few patios we could head to for an hour long riff on Osheaga!

    Thanks again for the support pals, moving through the 1000s for total downloads now, and I'm sure as the festival draws closer, the traffic will continue to pick up - hopefully you guys continue to support the show and (more importantly) enjoy the conversations!

  • Ep 013 - @JustBeJesss

    On this episode, Jess (@JustBeJesss) drops in to chop it up about the absolute most forward ways to scoop up a guy, some of the lesser known Osheaga artists, festival morning routine, the perks of being a flight attendant, being disappointed in your siblings festival choices, and much more. Like I mention during the show, Jess reached out to me everywhere except at my front door, and I'm glad she did - she was a great guest, and hopefully she'll make it on again as the festival draws closer. You'll enjoy this one - I know I did. Like always, send me a DM to make your debut on the show. You can get me on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) or on Instagram (@TheOshPod) and we can set up a time/date. I'm in the GTA/Southern Ontario area, and I'm looking to do some in person stuff as well, so don't be shy! Thanks to the r/osheaga for the support, as always, you pals continue to be super receptive to the show and I'm having a blast talking to all of you. Stay hyped!

  • Ep 012 - @11thHourBlues
    On this episode, the extremely well versed Alex stops in to talk NXNE, Toronto mini-shows, blended genres from his teenage years, and the highest ceiling acts you've never heard of at this year's festival. Al definitely came ready to talk music, and he knows his stuff going back quite some time, he's got some great thoughts on some of this year's acts, as well as some acts from years past, and I'm sure you will enjoy listening to the conversation as much as I enjoyed having him on.
    Like usual, if you want to do an episode of the show, get at me on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) or on Instagram (@TheOshPod) and we can set up a time. Between the NBA playoffs and the warmer weather, it might take a bit longer to schedule something, but there's tons of time before the festival to get everyone on.
    If you're in the Hamilton, ON area, I especially want to hear from you - I'd like to do a podcast in person and maybe put out some photo/video to go along with an episode - don't be shy!
    Thanks as always to you guys for continuing to listen, and to r/osheaga for continuing to support the show!

  • Ep 011 - @jjulia_hill
    On this episode, Julia (@jjulia_hill) checks in from Taiwan (or somewhere near Taiwan) to talk about Asian music and the festival scene across the pond, her experiences at Osheaga, and dishes on some pick-up tips for the guys looking to uh...make a new friend on Osheaga weekend. I had to wake up early on a Saturday to make this one happen, since Julia is about 12 hours ahead of me, but it was worth it - the conversation was over an hour and Julia had a ton to say, which makes for a great episode.
    Like usual. if you want to be on an episode, don't be shy - send me a DM on Reddit (the_osh_pod) or on Instagram (@TheOshPod) and we'll set something up. The response to the podcast has been really great so far, and I want to continue giving you guys a place to tell your stories and chop it up about your Osheaga experiences.
    Thanks as always to the r/osheaga crowd - continuing to show support, and it's greatly appreciated on my part.

  • Ep 010 - Air
    On the 10th (TENTH!!!) episode of the pod, Air from the Lone Star State stops in to mash it up about all things SXSW, Osheaga being worth the trip, fizzy drinks to enjoy in the summertime, and some more (much needed) Chemical Brothers shine. I've enjoyed having some of our pals from down South come on to the show; I think there's something to be said for an American (especially one from a major metropolitan area) deeming it a worthy trip up to Montreal just to be at Osheaga. These folks are committed, and why not? Osheaga is a great time, a great crowd, and a perfect way to spend a weekend. You guys know the drill by now - if you want to do an episode, my DMs are open on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) and on Instagram (@TheOshPod). I usually check on everything at least once a day, but with the weather improving all the time, it might take me a little longer than usual to write back. I'll get to the messages though, for sure, and there's lots of time to get everyone on! Again, to the r/osheaga crowd, thanks so much for the support. You guys have been and continue to be a great community, thanks for supporting the show everyone!

  • Ep 009 - @Willerrzz_

    On this episode, Will (IG: @willerrzz_) from the Beast Coast stops in to chop it up about heading to the fest solo, roundabouts vs. four-way stops, high energy shows, late night artist overlap, being very dark in a fun way and a whole ton more. I enjoyed the conversation, and Will keeps the strong showing from the East coming for more than 50 minutes. Like I mentioned on episode eight, I'm going to start holding these episodes and releasing them every few days or so - give or take - to give people an opportunity to digest the content, and also to give me a bit of time to edit the episodes and what not; the number of people who want to come on the show has been overwhelming, and it's a great problem to have. As always, if you want to come on the show (or know someone that does) send me a DM on IG (@TheOshPod) or on Reddit (The_Osh_Pod) and we can set something up. I'm also going to start looking into doing some in person podcasts in the not too distant future, so if you're in Southern Ontario and want to link up for an hour and a beer, let me know and let's make it happen.  If there's a subject or something you want to see covered, let me know - I'm down to talk about almost anything, and I want these to be enjoyable for as many of you as possible.  Again, a big thanks to r/Osheaga for the support - the downloads on the show keep growing, and it's mostly because of you guys. I really appreciate the support!

  • Ep 008 - @Jondabox
    On this episode of the pod, Jon (IG: @Jondabox) stops by and the conversation gets cosmic. There is some discussion around festival romances, Nipsey Hustle and Mac Miller, Chiac rappers and a bunch of other topics that I think almost everyone thinks about - it was therapeutic. This one went an hour plus, and I think you'll really enjoy the content.  If you want to do an episode of the pod, don't hesitate to reach out - you can DM me on IG (@TheOshPod) or on Reddit (the_osh_pod). Thanks once again for your continued support - you guys listen to these podcasts more than I ever would have guessed, and I'll try to keep them coming as often as possible.

  • Ep 007 - @RaphMerrette
    On episode seven of the The Osh Pod, Raph (IG: @RaphMerrette, Twitter @RaphaelMerrette) stops by to talk about the Montreal perspective on the festival, slept on late night party spots, gives some much deserved shine to The Chemical Brothers, and describes something called A Melting Pot of Friendship. Really enjoyed this one - evidenced by the 45 minute length, and I think you guys will too.
