IIIII've got Alex Gamble here, recording and mixing engineer extraordinaire. I met him a few years ago when he worked on my EP Common Fantasies, and more recently on a few other tracks. He is as immensely talented as he is kind, and that comes through in the conversation.
If you're a gear/mixing/music nerd, this is a conversation for you.
Comment or DM host Alex Southey to let him know who you'd like to hear interviewed, musician or otherwise.

Here's the second of a few interviews I did for the now defunct The Human Interest Hour Podcast.
Like the Farbsy interview, this is more general, based on the guest's background.
In this case, the guest is the thoughtful and forthcoming Adam Bunch. He's a Toronto historian, author, and educator, among other things. We chat a bit about how he got into history in general, the history of Toronto, and... at that point away we go.
If you're into history, or Canadian history, or Toronto, or all three, you'll like this.

Bonus Thursday episode for ya here. It was originally recorded as an episode of the doomed podcast The Human Interest Hour -- doomed because I was at the helm of it and apparently I can only handle one project at a time. Sometimes not even that.
So!?
I'm collapsing regular interviews I do into YWS as bonus episodes. If you don't care about these general interviews, just ignore them! But I promise each monday will be your regularly scheduled programming.
Without furth ado (but "adieu" is goodbye?), I've got internet personality/actor/multi-hyphenate Farbsy -- or Max Farber as I met him initially, back in the pre-Pandemic days when he was focused only on pursuing music. Over the course of the Pandemic I watched Max (successfully) try out different "bits", for lack of a better word, online. One ended up sticking -- a character based on customer service reps. What would they REALLY say to a customer, if they could. What do they say to themselves off mic? With that premise, Max's online "star" rose considerably.
Listen to the interview for more. Support Farbsy, and supporttttt this pod. Thanks.
I have Nina and Morgan from Jolie Laide! This conversation goes everywhere. Apologies for the sound quality in moments... I promise I'll improve it soon.

It's beeeeen a while since Episode 2, when other BBQ Pope member Sean came on to chat about the history of the band and his opinion on their worst song. Now we have another member, Reid, who is also an actor. We spend a lot of time at first discussing that, and then we get into the music stuff.
Enjoy!
