Podcasts about boxcutters

Reza Dahya helped shape the sound of Toronto hip-hop as the host of “OTA Live” on the iconic Canadian radio station FLOW 93.5. Now, he's released his debut film, “Boxcutter,” which is a love letter to Toronto and all the young artists who are trying to find their place. Reza joins guest host Gill Deacon to talk about the movie and how it pays tribute to the city, its music culture and its aspiring artists.

Send in your music story!Ever been shoulder-checked while holding a box cutter during a major candle sale? That's just a slice of the chaos we unpack this week on the Hook and Bridge podcast. Taylor recently gave her two-week notice with a heavy heart and an impressive track record, and the rollercoaster of emotions and hilarity that ensued is something you're going to want to hear. Between tales of managing a bustling store and the unexpected antics of customers, there's plenty of laughter and camaraderie to go around.Switching from the workplace to the heart, we explore the nuances of giving and receiving love through touching personal anecdotes. A beautifully crafted wallet and engraved sheet music exchanged for a wedding anniversary remind us of the power of meaningful gestures. We also find ourselves pondering the peculiar trend of people withdrawing cash every four years and reflect on the emotional impact of watching the animated series Bluey. These stories are sprinkled with warmth and humor, making it a segment you won't want to miss.As the music world celebrates, so do we, with a dynamic recap of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. From Cher's induction by Zendaya and Dua Lipa to Ozzy Osbourne's rock tribute, we cover it all with a mix of awe and amusement. Even the playful chaos of our music guessing game—where mistaken guesses spark laughter—captures the spirit of our podcast. Join us as we celebrate music, share stories, and engage in word games that will keep you entertained and guessing until the very end.Support the showPlease give us a quick rate and review.

Z9! is a new side project formed by Richie Mancuso of Wisdom in Chains, The Post America Podcast, Krutch, Boxcutter and Comin' Correct. We recorded this full length Bonus Episode so we can talk about "We Don't Come in Peace", the debut EP from Z9! which drops on October 29th on Fast Break! Records. Richie has been on in some capacity a couple times but never his own solo episode. We talk everything from Wisdom in Chains to Pennsylvania, PAHC, what drove Z9! to be formed, wearing a mask, some silly politics (as I knew he would bring up since he's one of the biggest ball breakers I know) and a bunch of other banter. This was definitely fun to do. Respect.

This month on The Writer and the Critic, your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, find themselves in the native habitat of fellow podcaster John Richards -- one of the mighty Boxcutters team and co-writer of the soon to be screened ABC comedy series Outland.  The three chat about why television kills your dreams and whether Ian is a better co-podcaster than Josh Kinal. Ian and Kirstyn would also like to congratulate all the recent World Fantasy Award winners announced in San Diego last month. In particular, their warmest wishes go to Nnedi Okorafor, who won Best Novel for Who Fears Death (featured on The Writer and Critic in Episode 11), and friend of the podcast and Galactic Suburbian, Alisa Krasnostein, who received the Special Award Non-Professional in recognition for her fabulous work with Twelve Planet Press. Yay Alisa and Nnedi! The two official books for this month are Room by Emma Donoghue -- Ian's pick -- and The Secret History by Donna Tartt -- chosen by Kirstyn. As usual, there are plenty of spoilers -- including revealed endings! -- so for those of you who wish to skip over a particular book, discussion of Room begins at 22:15 while The Secret History starts at 41:10. John Richards has chosen Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland for this episode and discussion of the book commences at the 1:09:40 mark. The three self-confessed GenXers also talk generally about the 1990's, generation x and the alleged end of history. Appropriately, they seem a little jaded. And old. Wander back at 1:28:35 for some brief but witty final remarks. The books for next month will be We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver (chosen by Kirstyn) and The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht (Ian's pick), both recipients of The Orange Prize.  Don't worry, there will be a return to a greater speculative fiction emphasis in 2012 -- that's a promise! P.S. Kirstyn apologises for the sketchy sound quality on Ian's mic this episode. Even if he does deserve it. P.P.S. Kirstyn also apologies for the tardiness of this podcast. She was away for more days than she was home in the past couple of months. She definitely deserved that!

This week’s episode is comprised of three sets for discriminating ears. Kenny starts things off with some drum n’ bass from Pulsaar’s “Exoplanets” EP, a wonderful Boxcutter remix of iTAL tEK’s “Whip It Up,” and the latest sounds from Birdy Nam Nam’s new full length. Joseph takes over, and features a hazy beat from Blue […]

On this episode of The Writer and the Critic, your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, decide to eschew their normal thirty-odd minutes of waffle and plunge straight into a discussion of the two titles at hand, Bluegrass Symphony by Lisa L. Hannett and Everyone's Just So So Special by Robert Shearman. As both books are short story collections and also very new releases, there are no spoilers as such. But here are the time stamps anyway: 03:00 for Bluegrass Symphony (yes, that's three minutes -- they really meant it with the eschewing) and 33:00 for Everyone's Just So So Special. Final remarks kick in around 01:21:00. Kirstyn would like to disclaim that she is a judge for both the Australian Shadows and the Aurealis Awards this year, for which Lisa Hannett's stories are eligible, and therefore needs to stress that her opinions of the collection as expressed on this podcast are solely her own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the judging panels for either award. Ian would like to disclaim that he loves Rob Shearman just so so much, and is therefore incapable of holding any objective opinion of his work. So there's that. The Karen Joy Fowler story that is tangentially mentioned can be read online over at Subterranean Press, while Rob Shearman's insane One Hundred Stories project lives here. Next month, Ian and Kirstyn invite John Richards from Boxcutters to be their special podcast guest. John has chosen Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland as for everyone to read, while Ian has selected Room by Emma Donoghue and Kirstyn has recommended The Secret History by Donna Tartt. They will most likely be back to their usual spoilerific form, so read ahead and join in the fun!
