...so I had this great idea to occasionally record live sessions by local artists (at my house) and release them as music-only episodes of the podcast. 

Singer/songwriter/Jawbreaker fan/tall person Paul Hodgert volunteered to be the guinea pig, but with a twist -- he had access to all kinds of fancy video equipment, so we turned the recording into a livestream that aired Dec. 19 on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

This episode is strictly the audio from the show, with a bunch of dead air and whatnot cut out. Half an hour or so of wall-to-wall music. Hoping to do more of these in future, so stay tuned for that at some point... and also stayed tuned for my annual list of favourite local albums of the year, which will come out over a series of episodes beginning this week. 

Note: Paul's 'Paul Is Dead' tape is on that list. Not revealing the placement, though.

When Mike "Iron Buddha" Zastre was last on an episode of the podcast, we hadn’t really figured out the show’s format, and he was mainly working on weird electronic music.

Skip ahead a decade-plus, and he’s now fully jumped into the world of comics and zines, launching the debut issue of the sci-fi/horror-themed 'Heat_Death' at this year’s Prairie Comics Festival. He'll also be at the PCF's zine fair happening RIGHT NOW if you're reading this day-of.

Tune in for a chat about zine culture, mushroom metaverses, DIY publishing, and much more!
