This Broken Mixtape

This week our guests are Jena Gogo and Jay Mitchell of Toronto indie folk band, Blue Sky Miners. We'll talk to them about how their serendipitous Victoria run-in led to the birth of the band, working with Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning, and hear Jena's spot-on impression of Britney Spears.

This week our guest is comedian and writer, Rhiannon Archer. We'll talk to her about her one woman show series Life Records, her now-legendary wedding playlist, and how Carly Simon's You're So Vain reminds her of a preschool bully.

For this episode we sat down with Michelle Zauner, the front woman for Philadelphia dream-pop band Japanese Breakfast.

Today, we talk to Michelle about how the music of Sufjan Stevens and Mt. Eerie helped console her after her mother's death, her new sophomore record, Soft Sounds from Another Planet, and her planned memoir about cooking Korean cuisine.

We talk to Trevor Larocque (Tiny Record Shop, Paper Bag Records) about his carefully-curated boutique record store in Toronto's Leslieville neighbourhood, the growing roster of his indie-folk record label, and the self-professed "creepy" mixtape he made for a junior high school crush.
