  • Mike and Kristen's first live podcast recording at Alderney Landing Theatre followed a magnificent performance by award-winning musician Christina Martin, who premiered her ECMA-nominated album Storm with a full band and a stunning string quartet. The atmosphere was electric, with roses falling from the ceiling and a breathtaking moment of gang vocals that featured a cast of local characters including former podcast guests: James Mullinger, Katie Kelly, Nancy Regan, Krista Keough and Steph Purcell. Mike and Kristen not only emceed the show but also seamlessly transitioned into their live podcast, capturing the raw post-performance energy. Christina, still basking in the afterglow of the performance, fielded questions from an engaged audience, offering rare and intimate insights into the immediate experience of a musician post-show. The evening was made even more memorable thanks to the expert sound work by Ground Sound's Trevor DeSouza, who ensured every note resonated perfectly in the theatre.

  • Tyler Mullendore, born from the soul of Lake Ainslie Cape Breton (the witness protection capital of the world according to Mike!), masterfully blends rough-and-tumble roots rock with the electrified emotion of southern-fried Americana. His music channels the heart-wrenching wistfulness of Bob Seger and the lyrical introspection of John Prine, all driven by a classic rock pulse made even more compelling by the remarkable band behind him. A finalist on Canadian Idol, Tyler’s authenticity as a songwriter was affirmed when he won eOne's national "Big Break" competition. On today's episode, we celebrate Tyler's personal growth and reflection as both a musician and a songwriter. We delve into how being thrust into the spotlight at a young age impacted his journey, the valuable lessons he’s learned from these experiences, and how true happiness for him lies in the deep connections he fosters with family and community.

  • Halifax-based power couple Justin Huston and Kristen Morse, both American-born, discovered a common love for Nova Scotia, music, and each other. Justin serves as the Deputy Minister of the Department of the Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage, while Kristen co-owns the iconic, open, and relaxed Nordic spa "Nature Folk." Their relationship blossomed through GarageBand (swear to God) during the pandemic while they were living on opposite sides of the world. Their shared love of music led them to co-write songs, swap favorite tunes, and eventually fall in love. They recently released their first full-length album under the band name "No-K," which is packed with sweet, authentic lyrics and melodies. Justin and Kristen are true examples of genuine artistic expression and ardent supporters of the creative industries in Nova Scotia and beyond. We share laughs, discussions on the arts landscape in Nova Scotia and how women in the music industry face different challenges than their male counterparts.

  • Unlike most approaches to modern medicine, Namit Holey wanted to test his higher education through personal experimentation. His lab? An Ashram in India where he would spend eight months learning about holistic health, the impact of the mind on our well-being and how finding our personalized approaches to life is our greatest defence mechanism. Namit is an accomplished researcher who has discovered the benefits of preventative health and developing a strong immune system. We learn about the intricacies of cancer from a scientific lens, and juxtapose that with eastern practices of yoga and mindful practices in effort to experience better health. A fascinating conversation with a brilliant scientist who is soon off to Harvard for his post-doc!

  • With its catchy, sing-along chorus, Hockey Fights celebrates the energy of a bringing people together. Lead singer Mike Ryan poured his heart into the song, managing quick turnarounds and making sure the hockey anthem was ready for the play-offs! He also shares stories of idolizing the Inverness Maroons hockey team, how the song turned from folk to fun and how he has his own story of falling in love at a Halifax Mooseheads game over a flask of fireball.

    The accompanying music video, created in just three hours, features a real musician’s league hockey game, young actors who met 5 minutes before their love scene and lots of enthusiastic extras! Directed by Matt Corkum, the video is truly Canadian, complete with ketchup chips and jean jackets. "Hockey Fights" earned its place on the band's upcoming album set for release on June 21.
