Podcast #5

Those who found themselves tiring of my monosyllabic Northern drone but enjoying the tunes nonetheless will find plenty to be excited about in this month's podcast as our favourite Canadian critic Tara Campbell has kindly taken the presenter's mic off my hands.

While the focus remains on new music, Tara has utilised her local knowledge to showcase a number of Canada's best up and coming artists, many of whom were new to me. In fact, since receiving her tracklist, I've spent a fair amount of time investigating some of these names further. Spend some time with this podcast and I guarantee you'll be doing the same.
