SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast

Todd is out this week, so Sean goes “fretless” for a night of music, movies and mayhem. Joining him are Duane and Dan from Mixtapes From Hell, plus returning guest Tracy, the voice behind Voicesbytracy. There’s a game of Pass or Go, a movie soundtrack moment nobody saw coming, and a voice-acting challenge that gets out of hand fast. Plus, one band from Winnipeg that you really should be hearing. P...

Part Two of the sit-down with Darryl Barr picks up right where things left off — more music, more stories, and a lot more getting to know the man before his book officially hits shelves. What's Coming Up An update from the family — A quick, lighthearted check-in on a running storyline listeners have been asking about. Let's just say it involves a cast and a very tough mom. A mentor, a trailer, and...

Part One of a two-part sit-down with Darryl Barr — drummer, artist, retired forensic psych hospital veteran, and now, first-time author. The guys get to know the man behind the nickname, dig into the story behind his brand-new book, and spin a few tracks from his band along the way. What's Coming Up Getting to know Darryl — Before he was "Double Barrel," he was a kid with a pencil who almost had a...

Sean flies solo this week for a deep dive into two of Marvel's biggest '80s crossover events: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars (1984) and Secret Wars II (1985). The toy deal that started it all, the editorial gamble that followed, and why one series is beloved while the other gets dragged — Sean's got opinions on all of it. Episode Highlights A little show history — Sean traces the origin of the "S...

The Metal Shop crew is back in the trailer for another round of chaos, "corporate sabotage," and a serious amount of great metal. This one's got a little bit of everything — a shady origin story involving a certain rival podcast's Discord, a spicy round of "who gets voted off Mixtapes From Hell," and a deep, genre-hopping stretch of music picks that swing from old-school thrash to power metal to h...

Heath is back this week, and we're diving headfirst into the ultimate showdown: DC versus Marvel! We're not just talking about superheroes; we're taking a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about our childhood favorites and how they shaped our geeky selves. From the campy antics of the 60s Batman to the epic battles of the Avengers, we explore what makes these universes so compelling. We'll even...

Studio tour & intro chaos — The usual chaotic cold open, with Sean showing off pieces of his new backdrop — including a superhero helmet you'll have to see to believe. Remembering Dolly Parton and Frank Beard — The crew pays tribute to two icons lost in the same week, trading Dolly memories and making the case that ZZ Top's Frank Beard deserves way more respect as a drummer than he usually get...

Kevin and Corey are back for Part Two with hosts Sean and Todd, diving into the hilariously chaotic world of music and pop culture. This episode is all about the wild ride of Milli Vanilli and the shady practices behind their rise and fall in the music industry. We explore how image sometimes trumps talent, and the absurdity of a world where looks can get you further than your vocal cords. With pl...

Corey and Kevin, the podcast royalty of the Boneless Podcast network, are joining us for a raucous episode that’s all about the ups and downs of navigating life as podcasters, with a side of hilarious banter! From parking garage struggles to the trials of dealing with bananas and fobs, we dive deep into the everyday hiccups that keep us all laughing. We also chat about the fine line between live p...

It's all about the wild ride through the world of telemarketing in this episode! We dive into the hilarious chaos of unsolicited calls, with plenty of laughs and a sprinkle of frustration as we navigate the boundaries of what it means to be "voluntary." Our conversation takes a spin with the ever-dreaded Stats Canada surveys that come knocking at our doors—literally! We'll share our personal exper...

We welcome a very special guest this episode—Nathan Dueck, Winnipeg-born author now calling Calgary home. Nathan has written poetry, tried unsuccessfully to win hearts with it, and has just released his latest book: a collection of self-deprecating anecdotes that may or may not be funny. He's cautiously optimistic. But before we get there, we have a crisis on our hands. Sean shaved his beard. The...

We're diving into some juicy updates this week, starting with Sean's epic air conditioning saga that had him sweating bullets and Todd's shed construction woes that are battling Mother Nature. We'll also jam out to some tunes from the band Bliss, whose tunes are as diverse as our podcast chats! It's a mix of laughter, stories, and a sprinkle of nostalgia as we reminisce about our experiences with...

Todd had a surprise birthday party. Sean kept recording anyway. Happy birthday, Todd. This week Sean sits down alone with author David Jon Fuller, whose debut novel Venue 13 is out now through Turnstone Press. What starts as a conversation about a ghost story set in a haunted Winnipeg theater quickly becomes something much deeper — a wide-ranging discussion about creativity, the bohemian life, wha...

Featuring Corey and Mark from And The Podcast Will Rock There's a guy in Tennessee who thought Canadian music was just Rush. He was wrong. This is the episode that fixed that. Sean, Todd, and Corey from And The Podcast Will Rock spent 12 hours on prep work — between them — to put together the ultimate Canadian music education for Mark, Corey's American co-host on the Van Halen podcast And The Podc...

Back on Zoom. New shirts. Same chaos. Noman and Rory are back — and they have absolutely no idea who those two old guys from that other podcast are. Never heard of them. Two hours of music discovery this week. Some of it heavy. Some of it theatrical. Some of it from places you wouldn't expect. All of it worth your time. There's a pirate metal origin story that predates everything you think you kno...

The Wheel O' Spite makes its world premiere. Max Webster gets the deep dive it has always deserved. And the shed is still not done. Episode 602 starts as a catch-up and turns into something much more — a sprawling, deeply Canadian conversation that somehow connects lawn maintenance, beard oil, a cat with strong opinions, and one of the most passionate music deep dives the show has done in recent m...

This one comes courtesy of patron Tony Griggs — whose killer playlist sparked the inspiration to pull this two-part classic from the vault and bring it back as one epic combined episode. Daryl Dwarf — drummer, founding member, author, and one of the most genuinely engaging rock personalities you'll ever hear on this show — joined Sean, Todd, and Corey Geek for nearly two hours of conversation that...

Todd updates us on the continuing saga of his backyard shed build—gravel stamping, Red River gumbo soil challenges, Costco door orientation problems, and his decision to buy plans from a Regina DIY guy on Etsy (rather than giving money to Costco). We also check in on Fitbit progress and celebrate Abby's first soccer goal in a perfectly called play that had Sean scrambling for his phone too late. T...

The countdown to 600 is on, and Sean and Todd go back to basics — just the two of them, the old formula, and a deep dive that turns into one of the most thoughtful conversations the show has had in a while. It starts with real life — sod cutters, Red River gumbo, sewer maintenance gone slightly wrong, and severe weather that hit Manitoba hard. Then Sean reveals something genuinely impressive: he p...

Before the studio. Before the gear. Before FastFret was a permanent co-host. Sean was recording in his car — and somehow it worked. This episode is a love letter to the On The Road era of SeanGeek — the raw, unfiltered, gloriously imperfect days when the show was just a guy with a microphone, a moving vehicle, and something to say. No studio. No setup. Just go. Sean looks back at what made those e...

Join us as we dive into the vibrant chaos of Keycon 42, where we had an absolute blast with our buddy James! We kick things off by sharing our thoughts on the hilarious "Hilarious House of Frightenstein" documentary, which took us on a nostalgia trip back to our childhood. The pros of the convention? Tons of cool panels, engaging discussions, and just the right amount of quirky interactions that m...

This week, Sean and Todd welcome back one of the show's most beloved guests — Tracy from Voices by Tracy. A bilingual voice actor based out of Montreal, Tracy holds the record for most appearances on SeanGeek and FastFret, and this episode proves exactly why. What starts as a trip down memory lane quickly becomes one of the most wide-ranging, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud episodes the show has eve...

We had a blast chatting with the crew from Never Meet Your Heroes about their exciting new album release! This episode is a fantastic mix of music, inspiration, and poetry, with BS Raps returning to the show and our new buddy Dre joining in for the first time. We dive deep into what fuels their creativity and how their unique styles come together to create something fresh and vibrant. It's all abo...

This week we dark a dark turn with the Album Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde. A dark work, the album would mark the last time the band would be able to handle such material again. Long a favorite band of many musicians including local megastars Propagandhi, the album cemented a place in my own greatest albums of all time list, with a perfect 10 out of 10. But just why is that and why does this alb...

It's been 10 years. We figured the least we could do was make it a party. Sam Thompson (Witchpolice Radio) and Ronald George Moore (Manitoba Moneyshot) crash the show to help Sean and Todd celebrate a decade of geekery, music, brotherhood, and bad ideas. Trivia gets played. Pass or Go gets heated. The Livestream crowd gets involved. Happy anniversary to us — and to you. Linktree: https://linktr.ee...
