This one is a fun chat with an artist who is likely new to most of you.

Winnipeg (via Ontario) artist Mike Powell, a/k/a [Closetjudas](http://linktr.ee/closetjudas), talks about his thoughts on the local music scene as a newcomer, writing music that rewards thoughtful listening, releasing non-monetized songs as a statement on the music industry, and much more.

This episode brought to you by [Devine Shirts](http://devineshirtcompany.ca/) and by [Sean Burns](http://seanburns.bandcamp.com/), whose new album of truckin’ songs is raising funds for Times Change(d), where it was recorded.
