    The Fully & Completely podcast is a must-listen for any fan of The Tragically Hip. Hosted by Jamie Dew and Greg Tilson, this podcast takes listeners on a journey through each album of the iconic Canadian band, providing insightful analysis, historical context, and a deep love for the music. As a long-time fan or someone new to The Hip, this podcast is both informative and entertaining.

    One of the best aspects of The Fully & Completely podcast is the depth of knowledge and passion that Jamie and Greg bring to each episode. They clearly have done their research, providing interesting facts about the band, their albums, and the cultural climate at the time of each release. Their enthusiasm for The Hip is infectious, making you want to revisit each album with fresh ears. Additionally, they often invite guests onto the show who share their love for The Hip and offer unique perspectives on the music.

    Another standout feature is how well-produced and professional the podcast is. From the sound quality to the editing, it's clear that a lot of care has been put into making each episode enjoyable for listeners. The hosts are engaging and witty, keeping you entertained throughout.

    However, one downside to this podcast is that occasionally there can be too much time spent on setting the scene before getting into discussing the actual albums. While it's interesting to learn about other bands and events happening during that time period, it can sometimes feel like too much exposition before diving into what listeners really came for - in-depth analysis of The Hip's music.

    In conclusion, The Fully & Completely podcast is an excellent homage to one of Canada's greatest rock bands. Jamie Dew and Greg Tilson do an outstanding job of bringing their love for The Tragically Hip to life through insightful discussions and a genuine appreciation for the music. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just discovering The Hip's discography, this podcast is definitely worth a listen.

    The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 20 — Neil from Arroyo GrandeHey, it's jD, and this week I'm joined by a die-hard hockey fan and Hip convert who hails from California. Meet Neil from Arroyo Grande, the west coast wizard of late-night YouTube rabbit holes and deep-cut reverence.Neil didn't grow up with The Hip in his backyard. He had to find them — through hockey, through Trailer Park Boys, through a fascination with Canadian culture that led him down a road paved with Gretzky, Jericho, and yes… Gord.We talk about getting into the band via Yer Favourites, chasing context across albums and eras, and how discovering The Hip opened the door to new perspectives on art, identity, and memory. He shares what it's like being an American Hip fan (“Wait, they're not on the radio here?”), and how Phantom Power, Man Machine Poem, and some Gordon Edgar Downie solo magic helped him through hard times — and made the music his own.From WWE finishers to vapor trails to songs that hit like Shakespearean tragedy, this one's for the late bloomers, the lyric heads, and anyone who ever found themselves singing along to a song they didn't fully understand… until they really did.

    The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Round Table TwoSongs #40–21 | Live Streamed May 23, 2025Every ten songs, we hit pause on the countdown and bring the community to the mic. This is Round Table Two — a live-streamed, unfiltered, and occasionally unhinged group chat about all things Tragically Hip. In this installment, we turn our attention to the middle meat of the countdown: songs ranked #40 through #21, where the debates get louder, the takes get spicier, and the stakes feel weirdly personal.I'm your host, jD, joined by four of the most thoughtful and opinionated Hip fans I know: Chris Sinclair, Jeff Schnurr, Craig Rogers, and Sara J. Together, we dissect the placements, praise the sleepers, question the darlings, and throw a few punches (with love) at the songs we think missed their mark.Here's what you can expect inside this episode:Jeff from Vaughan can't believe We Want to Be It and You're Not the Ocean made it this far — especially when Don't Wake Daddy is chilling down at #41. He's got opinions, and he's not afraid to name names.Sara J celebrates the perfection of matchups — how the right guests landed the right songs in uncanny fashion — and gives a heartfelt shoutout to Sherry and her beautiful number symphony around Long Time Running.Craig from Vancouver argues he'd flip the entire list upside down if he could, with Three Pistols and We Want to Be It trading places. He also reflects on how playing in a tribute band changes how you hear — and feel — a song.Chris from Guelph shares his emotional milestone: the moment Saturday Night Live introduced him to The Hip and forever changed the trajectory of his fandom. He also lists five songs in this range he'd swap out for deep cuts like Dire Wolf, Opiated, and Morning Moon.We talk bridges (and how Bobcaygeon might have the greatest one of all time), overplayed classics (Boots or Hearts vs. Grace, Too), and bold predictions for what's still to come.And me? I mostly try to wrangle the chaos, play devil's advocate, and float the idea that no one will be able to predict the Top 5 in the right order — not even me, and I've seen the data.This is not your average podcast episode. It's a jam session. A group therapy night. A barstool conversation happening in real time. And like all good round tables, it ends in laughter, hot takes, side quests, and one bold prediction from every guest.Here's a sneak peek at just a few of the quotes you'll hear:
