Witchpolice Radio

I had a great conversation on this episode with Montreal (via Winnipeg) folk artist Claire Morrison!

Check out our talk about her new ‘Where Do You Go At Night?’ full-length, musical differences between the two cities, collaborating with the record’s producer Rayannah (who was on episode 614 of the podcast), and much more!

Here's my conversation with Jordie Ouellet, who you may know from… every local band that has ever hired a trumpet player.

Tune in for our talk about his upcoming record as a bandleader/singer, his funk roots, the joys of raw, live sounds, and much more!

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled programming with an episode from the vault -- March 20, 2014, to be exact -- featuring singer-songwriter Carly Dow and writer/musician Sheldon Birnie.

For those unfamiliar with the archival episodes -- when I moved all of my episodes from one hosting provider to another, years ago, I accidentally missed the inclusion of a couple dozen episodes from 2013-14. They're not currently on the feed if you're scrolling through the episodes on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/whatever.

I've been slowwwwwly re-releasing these over the past few years, and here's another. This one is particularly notable because it has absolutely deadly live performances by each of the guests.

Here's what we said about this one back in 2014:

Three years ago when they first appeared on the podcast, Antonio and Giovanna Mazza’s Luana Moth was just a recording project that had yet to play a live show.

Skip ahead to 2025, and Luana Moth is a full-fledged live experience with interconnected songs based in prog rock and electronic music, an extensive backstory of lore/mythos centred around the titular Luana character, and much more!

They have an active next few weeks: at the Handsome Daughter Thursday and Friday, and an in-store at Into the Music May 2. 

Need more Luana Moth? Check out Antonio and Giovanna's previous appearance on episode #715 (August 2022).

‘One for the Boys’, coming this Friday, April 11, is a multi-band fundraising show focused on men’s mental health, in memory of the late frontman of Winnipeg's iconic MUNG!

I had a quick chat with event organizer Tanner Fehr all about the cause, the event (at the Bulldog Event Centre feat. performances by Mandy Arr, Extenders, Spectre, Mung tribute Narrow, and the Sums), Mung's legacy, and much more.

Local alt-rawkers Ash and the Arsonists are back on the show to talk about their upcoming 'Burn' EP (which drops this weekend with a release show April 12), and much more.

We get into the new record, songs that are too heavy for radio, balancing originality with a more commercial sound, progression in songwriting, and a whole bunch of other topics!

I sat down with Irvin Miller, a recent transplant to Winnipeg (via Nova Scotia), for a conversation about soul, country, folk, and especially gospel music.

His sound is a throwback to the 1950s and ‘60s, and he’s working on new music inspired by a wide array of influences. We talk about all of that and more!

Good chat on this episode with two members of crossover thrash outfit Trauma Shot!

Tune in for a conversation about their brand-spankin' new EP, ‘Where Weakness Dies’, shifting toward more hardcore influences, and much more…

Note: this one jumped the queue a little bit because the new EP just came out a day or two ago, so it was a little time-sensitive.

Fun hang with long-running local screaming enthusiasts Yer Mum, who are capping off more than a dozen years of punk rock with one last hurrah!

Stay tuned for a conversation about Yer Mum’s last show (March 28 at the Osborne Taphouse), songs that never got recorded, jumping over people on skateboards, their actual mums’ opinions on the band, and more…

Note: one of the band members had kind of a shitty connection, so it can be a bit choppy when he speaks, but it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the conversation.

These episodes are the absolute worst. I realize that with the sheer quantity of podcasts I do, the odds are that some of the people I've interviewed are going to pass away too soon, but it's never any easier. 

This episode compiles various appearances on the show by Jory Strachan, who was a member of the bands 1971 and Rust Owl, and made solo music under the name Wrecker.
