On this (super early) new Monday episode we have the great Sunshine Express ! This was a chaos in the best way. We've got multiple members, surprise members, people who didn't know this was a podcast, "characters", and more. A really fantastic, creative group of people. I don't know what I can say other than check them out at Collabfest down in the Niagara region and stream their music! They deser...

On this new Monday episode we have the great Sydney Riley ! This was a thrill of a conversation -- lots of laughs -- but more importantly lots of insights into smaller music scenes such as the ones existing in Collingwood, Wasaga, and Barrie. Collingwood, in particular, is notable because of (Sydney says) the local folks' appreciation for buskers. Enjoy! Sydney Riley links: Website Instagram Y...

We chat a bit about how he got into history in general, the history of Toronto, and...

Bonus Thursday episode for ya here. It was originally recorded as an episode of the doomed podcast The Human Interest Hour -- doomed because I was at the helm of it and apparently I can only handle one project at a time. Sometimes not even that. So!? I'm collapsing regular interviews I do into YWS as bonus episodes. If you don't care about these general interviews, just ignore them! But I promise...
