Episode 120: Keep Looking For The Helpers 18.06.2026 36:57
Friendoes. Hellos. I've been on the road - careening around like a farmer buckshot in a tin pan alley. Yes - I sure did mix those metaphors and I don't mind one bit. I hope this episode finds you well as I recap some of the things that have happened in the last while and I hope you find your way through the heaviness of these times. Please don't stop looking for the helpers. They ar...
Episode 119: June Two Just For You 02.06.2026 30:32
Hello my G-town pals. I truly haven't felt like myself lately so I hope you can excuse the absence. Lots going on - and not in the positive sense. Mourning. Upheaval. Life Gut punches (and those gut punches when you're most relaxed and un-ready for the pain). But hey - I'm surviving. Are you? I hope you tune in and get some nuggets from this mining session. I love you. My new album...
Episode 118: Interview w/ Jen Baranick of Broken Down Golf Cart 30.04.2026 40:08
Countryfolk and Citydwellers: I hope you wander round to the Graventown get-down.

Broken Down Golf Cart are known as purveryors of spacey grunge and fuzzy weird love began as the audio/visual project of...
Episode 117: Uncovering Your Upturn 27.04.2026 28:16
Hey pals. I've been a bit delinquent in just getting back into the G town studio grind and sitting down behind the mic, but it felt great to do that today. I appreciate that you're always here listening and being rad and righteous human beings. I talked about my mental state and the importance of going analog, getting offline and connecting with yourself. I love you. May you make the mos...
Episode 116: Carcast 12 / Reconstruction Site 24.04.2026 21:58
Hello my dudes. I've been wandering into the waves of whimsical philosophical, nautical leagues and so this was a little carcast for you - to celebrate the olden days of ye merry graventown. I've been up against the existential wall lately so it felt good to say some things out loud on a sunny Monday in the Limestone City of Kingston, Ontario as I gazed upon the harbour. I hope it finds...
Episode 115: Drama Dodger 07.04.2026 27:11
Heyo river! I love that Portlandia episode. Does anyone read these things?! Pals from all canals. It's been a second since I beckoned. Been going through the low tide of the final winter ride, post album release show and feeling a bit of a lull-scape. Thanks for giving me a moment to share that with y'all. I love you and we shall chat real soon. My new album "Geographics" is ou...
Episode 114: Interview w/ Nathalie Boltt 02.04.2026 30:22
Alright G-towners - get ready to turn those frowners into upside downers. It's not often I get to share cinematic geekery with an acclaimed actor and director, but Nathalie Boltt was super kind and willing to chat with yours truly for a concise but peanut-packed snickers bar of an episode. For those who don't know, Nat Boltt is a South African actor (in major productions like District 9,...

Friendoes: Hello. I have a special one for you golden G-towners today. Forged and led by the vision of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lee Rose, Ace of Wands has become one of Toronto's most creative and captivating bands since forming in 2017.

Episode 111: Interview w/ Bill Welychka 03.03.2026 41:49
Hello friends. I'm back at it again for a special interview sesh on Graventown. To quote the great Toronto Mike: “If you grew up with MuchMusic, you understand the impact the VJs had on your life. Bill Welychka was one of the greats. We’re blessed with inside access to the life and times of Bill, who it turns out is much more than a beloved VJ. He’s a beloved human being.” That's what To...
Episode 110: Refinding The Magic Of The Music 02.03.2026 39:24
Howdy pals from all canals; it's been one hot minute since I've been within it. Thank you for listening and supporting - even when I'm silent and maybe slightly mentally violent (I just rhymed that - there's no cause for concern). Just a bit of a reflection pod on being thankful to play music at all and a bit of a rearview gaze on my album "Geographics" being almost f...
Episode 109: Five Songs So Far - A Halfway View of "Geographics" 11.02.2026 46:44
Welcome to it. Let's screw it, glue it, and tattoo it. In this episode, I thought it would be fun to do a sonic rundown of the first 5 songs of my new album "Geographics" that started releasing on Jan. 26/26 on Bandcamp. Since Jan 26th, I've been putting out a new song every Monday and Friday and it's been a real journey, so far - and on so many metaphysical levels. I hop...
Episode 108: Geographically Yours + Open Sores 29.01.2026 34:35
Friendoes. Hello. Welcome back to Graventown. Population: You. Here's a new one for your mental glue gun.

Try not to annoy it. I'm here for ya, baby. My new album "Geographics" is out now on al...

Episode 105: Find Your Filter 17.12.2025 33:50
Hello friends. I went on a bit of a tirade here, but the mental health battery seems depleted for so many, so I thought it was fitting. Thought I would send one out to the universe before the busyness of the Holidaze craze gets our goats. There are so many digital voices online vying for your attention so don't be afraid to shut certain ones out. Be in the moment as much as you can, because t...
Episode 104: Peeling Back The Layers 11.12.2025 28:38
Seasons eatings, my friends. Thank you for the clicks and upticks here in my tiny corner of Graventown. After the recent rad interviews of George Stromboulopoulos and Toronto Mike, it's nice to send out an old school solo mind-massager into the multiverse. I took a few minutes to pause and reflect and look a bit inward in this - the coldest and darkest part of the year. May you find your flow...
