WAFFLES!

It’s a 12-hour time-shifted co-hosting gig on this week’s WAFFLES!, as Dave Butler in Hong Kong joins Matt in Kingston via Discord to talk about Dungeons & Dragons, teaching, and more! Dave is the GM of an online D&D game that Matt plays in, and there’s a lot of music about dungeons. And dragons! Also featuring music by Sam Kaiser, “Dungeon Jazz,” two versions of the Enter the Dragon theme, coal mines, and more!

Whether you partake or not, you’ll enjoy a full-bore range of music, and a surprising (for us) amount of facts and research for a single-topic edition of WAFFLES! — why you should call it cannabis (don’t call it marijuana!), prohibition, stereotypes, why Canada is the Most Legal Place On Earth, and music, music, music! From the 1930s to 2018, we’ve got music about pot, or in some cases by pot enthusiasts. Celebrate Canada’s first 4/20 post-legalization with WAFFLES!

Take me home, country WAFFLES! Songs about homes and houses haunt this wonderful spring morning WAFFLES!, with music from across the musical spectrum from the rocksteady of Toots & the Maytals through the futuretronic sounds of Joe Goddard. A surprising number of apologies pepper this show, as well as Marisa’s surprising revelation of an undying enmity for “Celt-Rock Warriors” the Mudmen.

Whistle while you… WAFFLE?

Whistle along with WAFFLES!
