Podcast pal Jo Johnson from the band River Poets joins me to talk about a truly legendary Canadian band - Blue Rodeo. I prepared for this conversation by watching the documentary "Lost Together" on CBC Gem. We discuss Bob Wiseman on keys and his departure, Adding drummer Glen with his hard rock sensibilities, Greg Keelor's tinnitus, Canadian Walk of Fame bands, and why on earth did I think Ron Sexsmith was a member?

This week marks the 30th anniversary of a giant hip-hop classic - Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise". The producer and co-writer of the song, Doug Rasheed, takes us back to the development of the track, obtaining Stevie Wonder's blessing to use his song "Pastime Paradise", creating the choir, the cover versions, Weird Al's "Amish Paradise", and more. Doug has made music with 2Pac, Whitney, Montell Jordan, Brandy, etc. and is releasing his autobiography this fall, titled "From Rags to Gangsta's Paradise".

Glen Phillips, lead vocals in the rock group Toad The Wet Sprocket joins me today! While the band was rehearsing for their 2025 Good Intentions Tour, we spoke about what's new for the band, the music video they liked making the most, computer nerd chat, Michael McDonald guesting on a song, and so much more. We also wonder why David Letterman's studio at the Ed Sullivan Theatre was so cold!

Gavin Scott, founder of Chartbeats.com.au is with me to get nostalgic about iconic duo LaFace and their music empire! L.A. Reid and Babyface were kings in the songwriting and production world in the 1990's, creating hits and music stars like Toni Braxton, Outkast, Pink, etc. We talk over the problem with R&B in Australia, Atlanta, L.A. & Pebbles' relationship, Pebbles losing it over Paula Abdul, What's a roni, and our choices for the top tracks by LaFace. You can find the playlist on our YouTube channel! I also chat with Gen Z pal Michael about his 90's knowledge.

Lead singer and creator of the band Wheatus, Brendan B. Brown is here! The iconic classic "Teenage Dirtbag" has only grown more popular with time! We talk about the numerous covers from One Direction to SZA, the video featuring Jason Biggs & Mena Suvari, the talent that has been a part of Wheatus over the years, and more. If you want to know the story behind the lyrics, google it! I didn't want to make Brendan tell that story again.

My guest is Milo, Co-Host of "The 80's & 90's Uncensored Podcast". Our artist is the folk-pop legend, Jewel Kilcher! Jewel faced many struggles on her way to stardom. We review her story and her hits of the 90's and beyond. Also, how do you utilize your streaming service?

Music legends Reggie and Vincent Calloway are the special guests for this episode! From their beginnings in the group Midnight Star, to the hit "I wanna Be Rich", the incredible songwriting and production credits, to their new music, Calloway is an important group in music history. Their hit "Cassanova" for Levert was the first New Jack Swing song to top the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart. Now, Reggie & Vincent are bringing reworked versions of their classic hits, plus a fresh single "Six Pack".

For the first time since 2020, an in-studio recording of DNP!
