Ep 106: Being an Artist in the Modern Day ft. Courtney Wolfe

June 15, 2023 19:58 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MB

KW Singer/Songwriter Courtney Wolfe has been slamming down singles on Spotify that are so consistently awesome, that the slam alone would steal all your pogs. However, unlike when pogs were a thing, how an artist has to do it is completely different. Todd was curious to go back to that conversation, as well as deep dive into Courtney's awesome songbook and personal fascination with music. Katy didn't join the show this time around because she and her family are on the precipice of giving bir...

Ep 105: NPRmageddon ft. Brian Keithley, Peter Podgursky & LeJon Stewart

February 24, 2023 23:12 - 1 hour - 67.8 MB

It's the end of the world and it's FUNNY! The creative team (Brian Keithley & Peter Podgursky) NPRmageddon, stop by with actor LeJon ('President Skullgore') to chat with Todd about NPRmageddon (What this scripted podcast is all about? What inspired it? How close are we to the apocalypse - let alone - a post-apocalypse!?), to list everything they know that's Canadian and of course, the frontier of audio entertainment! Todd is a huge fan, that's obvious, and he thinks you need to check out NPR...

Ep 104: Sometimes It's a Low-Energy Episode ft. Paige Warner

February 10, 2023 01:47 - 1 hour - 66.2 MB

Disclaimer: It's the same energy podcast, right!? Todd & Katy were both having a tired day, but not when Ontario Singer/Songwriter and returning guest Paige Warner was on(!) to catch up and chat about her new single "Lose Lose". You'll even get a LIVE PERFORMANCE of that number! Other than that, Katy moved mountains to keep the show on the rails and Todd went super cheeky about bands & TV shows, later advocating for pop-culture stoicism. To start things off, they did quite a segment on the 2...

Katy and Todd introduce themselves, talk about the podcast/where it’s been, talk about 2023 intentions and some TikTok bullshit.

Sip some hot coffee and enjoy your morning or whatever with two of the Waterloo Region’s elder arts scene vets.

Meet Daniel Hodgson, a worldclass (though hobbyist now) photographer and a vinyl enthusiast, not to mention an Australian/Canadian & KW-based friend of mine since early 2011. It was nice to catch up with Daniel and a chance to shoot the shit with him on a podcast, which features on it’s cover, a photo taken by him.

115. Chris Baldwin

May 31, 2021 14:05 - 48 minutes - 45.3 MB

In the fellowship of those who’d fall into the “arty kid” category, I’d like to present L.A.-based Chris Baldwin, a Visual Development Artist at Dreamworks TV and one heck of an indie musician. We met online as is with most of my West coast friends (I mean acquaintances, but I do heart all of’m) and in a post-Channel 101 event thing.. I could tell already that we’d have a rad convo about making shit. I give full credit to Chris, on the rad-ness. So listen, and find out how this super talent...

114. Patricia Tscharskyj

May 21, 2021 14:04 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MB

In the immortal words of Blackstreet, “East side to the West side”, Patricia Tscharskyj (a trained & experienced photographer and assistant camera for tv/film) moved from New York to the south and ultimately to Los Angeles and fairly recently. MOST recently, Patricia’s found herself making dope shit for Frequency 101, with the show “Stripper Squad”. We met, as I have most of my fellow Freq’shows, over Zoom conferences and she was kind enough to grace TDS with her talented self. What more can...

113. Jim Garrett

May 13, 2021 15:06 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB

California’s Jim Garrett is a fellow 101’er whose relatively new work I was already digging upon whatever you could call my entry point.. I take it that we recognized each other immediately as creatives and Channel 101 fans and now we’re talking about EACH OTHER’s work in present tense, which is a nice trip. He’s a great fella, whose Channel shows “Quarantine” and “Being Jason Whetzell” are knock-out punch classics and who’s audio-only Frequency shows are top notch as well. This is really a ...

Ep 96: Treephones

May 05, 2021 10:34 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MB

Treephones is an artist’s artist and the “musical moniker” as it’s been written, of Stephen Trothen; though better described in our conversation. He’s putting out a beautiful concept album this Friday (May 7th) that you can listen to in any dimension and it will make you fall in love with music again.. PINK OBJECTS. If you’ve become jaded with music, I offer this to you as an example of someone at least STRIVING for genius, even if unintentionally. Now that I’ve let my emotionality set the b...

April 20, 2021 14:28 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

I'm honoured once again to chat with Actor, Writer, Director and so much more..Amy Walker. This time around (continuing from our chat on episode 91. re: short film 'Into Light') we took a deeper dive into the film-making process as well as the heart and mind of Soulfire Creations. I'm very glad I had the chance to explore with Amy: Where does her drive and passion come from? How does she approach doing such a wide variety of projects, roles, tasks? How many accents/dialects is she willing to...

108. Abed Gheith - Part 2

March 26, 2021 12:46 - 57 minutes - 52.2 MB

Part 1 with Abed (March 4th) if you haven’t heard it, was recorded on Feb 20th and I think it was a super fun chat to have about the pop-culture that astounded established our love of creating things, as well as the first instances of performing or recording those ideas. Going into the panel for Frequency 101 we agreed to re-convene on Feb 28th - where like a better podcaster, put a focus on Abed. We did a deep dive into his creative journey both in and out of career, and did a little reflec...

Kitchener/Waterloo’s Clarissa Diokno is a class act who’s payed many dues on the cover band stage, the karaoke stage (as both host and singer), has pursued acting and all matters of performing; I couldn’t be happier to chat with her after releasing her fantastic first original song. It just so happens that her debut single “Confusion” is a JAM, and naturally we discuss this.

March 04, 2021 14:02 - 1 hour - 63.6 MB

Creator, writer, actor, phone-sexxer.. Abed Gheith (Los Angeles) is a lifelong story-teller (“Streetside” 1990s, Channel 101, Frequency 101) whose work in, and knack for story-telling, sense of humour, fusion of influences and more, I find undeniable. Just look at “Groove Fighters”, “Phone Sexxers”, “The Pop” and “Toon Wolf”… look at the Steve Perry character in “Yacht Rock”.. what about unforgettable pilots like “It’s Twissleton” and “The Muhammads”!? deny that!? I think NOT. As a not so un...

104. Updates! ft. Chad Rietschel

February 05, 2021 12:43 - 9 minutes - 8.7 MB

Hey! So instead of an abrupt slow-down of the podcast, I'm using my platform to chat about it for 9 breezy minutes. I realized after the fact that I completely disregard those who probably do as much editing as I've been doing, AND something else, or AND having kids... Maybe I am just lazy. The point!: slowing down the output of this podcast for me is not only necessary for my mental health, but it allows space finally, for me to be an ARTIST again. If I were chatting about this to NO ONE in...

I was introduced to the wicked hot music by a young Ontarian by the name of Riley Michaels. Riley is everything at around 20 y/o that I was most definitely not! He’s super talented at singing, writing songs and playing guitar, as well as articulate and charming.. so it was a pleasure to have Riley on the show, to chat about music, some of his influences (Prince, John Mayer, etc.), and a breakdown about making and presenting the video for his brand new single: “Turn Off The Lights”!!! *availa...

102. Brett Sheriff

January 28, 2021 16:51 - 1 hour - 57.5 MB

Brett Sheriff is a wonderful writer and performer, who’s been riding the wave of 2020 stumbling blocks in creative work, like everybody. I think his work in ‘Little Judd’s The Bachelor But With Dads on Channel 101 speaks for itself - so while looking forward to anything by that group or Brett as an individual, I think it’s safe to say that the result of effort (through all the challenges) will be worth the wait, and dynamite. Brett was kind enough to let me scatter the conversation in no part...

101. Kate Freund

January 19, 2021 15:12 - 1 hour - 80.4 MB

L.A.’s Kate Freund is a multi-talented and wonderful show creator, writer, director, actor and more.

I had the pleasure of chatting with JONY STUDIOS owner JONY MANSILLA, about the studio itself, him as an artist and how all facets have been evolved during the pandemic. (Side note from 2023 - this was originally an add-on to the Rosie Cerquone episode, when I was doing shorter Q&A's in addition to the longer convos. It remains here now, a stand-alone Ep, with Jony more than welcome back on the pod for a long-y. :D -Todd) Chat with Jony Mansilla recorded over Zoom from Gjoa Haven NU to Wate...

Derek’s Dead (Which you can pre-order on Apple TV now! Links below! Available one week today!) is the new feature-length comedy by writer, director and star Curt Neill! Curt first won me over in countless shows on Channel 101, scenes in Our RoboCop Remake (2014), and recently-to-now, 2015’s On The Rocks (holy shit what an amazing flick!). Derek’s Dead looks like a beast so we dove into it about that, plus, Curt was willing to go into the weeds with me about life in general, living in Oregon ...
