What In God's Name Are We Doing?

Alright ya momoes, What In God's Name Are We Doing is back with an all new episode and an all new position filled with an old guest! What? What? It's Nathan Rivers, a long time friend, work and sexual partner filling in loosely as the co-host for the show because no one wants to hear me drone on alone for two hours. This episode is about Hopelessness, not just with the arts business but with the world in general. This depressing spitting back and forth transitions into some personal stories of when we were in our teens starting out in the business and the demons and abuses we and our contemporaries had to face (and still do). Killer episode, killer topics, just killer.

Round two with another good pal of mine, Brian Emerick Abagacans. For this sit down we got over here we shared some of our opinions, experiences and just thought nuggets in general about the drug and alcohol influence in the music industry, business and the community as a whole (not only in Toronto, but in Ireland as well). The irony about this is that this is our only sober podcast, and cheers to many more!

AND WE'RE BACK. Got my shit together with some good shit here fellas with an all new and first non-musical guest! Today I present the very handsome and talented Aaron Heels. A fellow troupe member, artist, comedian that I've met in the trenches of the Second City classrooms in Toronto. We talk about the typical thing with new guests: why they're doing what they're doing, what are their experiences while doing it and some more personal stuff that screams internally in their heads 24/7. 

Hasn't even been for here for a year and this lad is already a great pal of mine. Hailing from the lovely land of Ireland we talk about why he came to Canada, why he wants to pursue music and how this journey to the West is fueling his musical journey. The podcast isn't as sappy as this description

What in GOD'S name are we doing? A podcast about young artists from Toronto detailing the struggles and obstacles they go through as well as the revelations and lessons they experience in the pursuit of their careers. These stories of existential crises cover the music, theatre and art scene as well as any other profession that requires a creative input.

We're two buds that are sharing our experiences from being in a band together to when we split musical paths. We delve into what kind of obstacles we've faced along the way, the criticisms we have of the music circuit in Toronto, but mostly, the criticisms we have towards ourselves.
