SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast

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...

Kevin Brown is back in Part Two! The conversation takes a turn into Sean's frustration with a false security alarm triggered by his dog's weight, leading to confusing protocols and identification issues with the security company. We also explore concerns about LinkedIn's business-focused content and its constant upselling tactics, particularly how the platform promotes corporate narratives over in...

Kevin Brown from Ultimate Catalog Clash, Tom petty Project and Seaside Pod Review joins the brother this week in the first half of this two parter. How can musical and media personas can restrict artists' creative freedom once established. We discuss KISS's iconic makeup becoming a double-edged sword—fans expecting the theatrical personas even when the band tried to move away from them in the 1980...

Corey Morrissette is back with Sean and Todd for Part Two, and we're coming in hot. We pick up with a conversation about the radio industry — specifically how corporate ownership reshaped music selection and stripped DJs of the autonomy they once had to break new artists and take real risks. We talk about what it used to mean to hear a song on the radio for the first time, and how that experience...

This week on the SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast, Sean and Todd welcome a very special guest: Corey Morrissette, a multi-show podcaster whose passion for music and pop culture runs as deep as ours. We kick things off talking about Chaz Charles — a titan of the podcasting world who hosts an impressive stable of shows — and how Corey came to collaborate with Chaz, Wolfie, and Scott on The Elder Podcas...

With the wrestling history books set aside for now, SeanGeek, FastFret, and Heath McCoy turn their attention to music. The conversation ranges from the live album chemistry of Rush and ZZ Top, to the underappreciated 1970s era of the Scorpions, to Beck's ever-shifting musical identity — with a few rounds of the show's "Pass or Go" game thrown in along the way. Heath also shares some of his work ou...

SeanGeek and FastFret welcome author Heath McCoy for a deep dive into the golden age of Canadian wrestling territories. Heath brings his historian's eye to the fascinating ecosystem of regional promotions — how wrestlers moved between them, how championships were structured, and what made each territory distinct. The conversation covers the inner workings of Stampede Wrestling in Calgary and Atlan...

In the second half of our conversation with Michael, author of "The Mighty Van Halen,: One Fan's Journey " we take a deep dive into the band Cinderella and their unique place in 1980s rock history. We start by analyzing Cinderella's first album "Night Songs," exploring what made their sound so distinctive compared to other hair metal bands of the era. Michael and Sean break down the band's blues i...

In this episode, we welcome Michael, author of "The Mighty Van Halen: One Fan's Journey," for a nostalgic journey through the cassette rock era of the 1980s. We start by tackling some technical challenges with audio and Discord setup before diving into Michael's book, which chronicles his coming-of-age as a Van Halen fan during the golden age of rock. Michael shares how readers from different regi...

In the second half of our conversation with Nick from Pod of Thunder, we dive deep into music, emotion, and entertainment. We compare the emotional depth of Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" with Joe Satriani's instrumental work, exploring how technical skill alone isn't enough—emotional connection is what separates great performances from legendary ones. We discuss instrumental music's power to c...

In the first half of this episode, we sit down with Nick from Pod of Thunder for a fascinating conversation about podcasting, nostalgia, and Canadian music legends. We kick things off discussing an intriguing podcast concept about screenwriting based on album tracks before diving into memories of obscure 70s TV shows and how YouTube has transformed from a platform for random content into a nostalg...

The episode kicks off with shared Maritimes and Acadian roots , recording setups, and the small-world podcast connections that brought Tim onto the show. Fr...

Sam returns to the show to tackle the ever-reliable Board O’ Topics , and yes—somehow it all starts with Christmas. Riveting podcast content, as promised. From there, the conversation wanders (by design) into the realities of video, podcasting, and clipping content —what actually hits, what absolutely doesn’t, and how much social media effort is too much. We get honest about the awkwardness of ask...

In this episode of Geeking With Karen Bee , Seanorama and Karen dive into AI ethics, creative ownership, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, art, and even tabletop RPG prep. They explore the benefits and concerns surrounding AI, including copyright issues and its impact on artists and creators. The conversation shifts to book recommendations and geek reading habits, spotlighting the...

We had a great episode with Clayton T Stewart a few years ago. In honor of him and keeping his memory alive, and because miss the guy, here is a rehash of when Clay came on to talk Harry Houdini.
