On the Saturday August 1, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Jess Gibson. She is a Canadian-born writer (daughter of Margaret Atwood and the late Graeme Gibson), art historian with a Yale PhD, who has lived all over the world. Her first book “The Good Eye” is already generating buzz as a sharp, original, and “bewitching” debut. The stories explore themes like perception vs. reality, the limits of what we “see,” betrayal, revenge, and everyday life tilting into the strange or magical. Then, we meet Juno Award-winning R&B/soul singer, actress Divine Brown. She broke through in 2005 with the hit single "Old Skool Love", which topped Canadian radio charts and earned a SOCAN No. 1 Song Award. Her self-titled debut album followed as an underground success, and her second album, The Love Chronicles (2008), won the Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year. She has toured with the Backstreet Boys, contributed vocals to Drake’s Take Care, and can now be seen in staged concert The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen Experience, playing at the CAA Theatre on Yonge Street in Toronto until August 16, 2026.

Hi, and welcome to another episode of The Talk Music Podcast!I'm thrilled to welcome JUNO Award–winning Canadian blues guitarist STEVE STRONGMAN as my guest. We recorded this most entertaining chat on my back porch on a beautiful afternoon, so listen closely and you'll hear some birds chirping in the background.Steve is one of Canada's top blues artists/guitarists, and his recording journey actually began back in 2004 with the album Honey, which I released successfully on my indie label via A&M Records. Reminiscing about that time working together made this conversation extra special and fun for me. Since then, Steve has built an incredible discography, including his 2013 JUNO-winning album A Natural Fact. His records highlight talented artists such as Harrison Kennedy, Jessie O'Brien, Crystal Shawanda, Rob Szabo, Dave King, Steve Marriner and many others. He's also an acclaimed producer, having co-written and co-produced Struck Down by Kim Wilson and The Fabulous Thunderbirds—a GRAMMY-nominated project featuring Bonnie Raitt, Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal, and Mick Fleetwood (and we go deep into how this record came together over a 2 year period).Steve has shared the stage with legends like B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, and Jeff Healey, and in this chat we delve into his musical journey up to now, the story behind his favourite guitar, and as a bonus I also feature Steve with a live solo acoustic porch performance of "Struck Down (by the Blues)." Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

jD convenes the expert panel to dissect "700 Ft Ceiling," the song that lands like a baseball bat to the face right in the middle of Trouble at the Henhouse.The conversation starts warm — everyone's summertime Hip pick, from "Membership" to "Morning Moon" to "Summer's Killing Us" — before turning to the puzzle at the centre of the track: what exactly is a 700-foot ceiling? (Aviation term. Lowest layer of broken or overcast cloud sitting 700 feet above ground.)The panel unpacks Gord's habit of collecting phrases for their sound rather than their meaning, the wintery outdoor-rink imagery, and the Lou Reed-flat melody that barely distinguishes verse from chorus.Things get spicy on placement. Tracy calls it filler and skips it. Mikk and Jamie agree the song detonates a gorgeous opening run — "Gift Shop," "Springtime in Vienna," "Ahead by a Century," "Don't Wake Daddy," "Flamenco" — and kicks off what Jamie dubs the album's weird second half alongside "Butts Wigglin'" and "Coconut Cream." The Kids in the Hall theory gets floated. So does the grunge theory. Everyone concedes it hit much harder live than it ever did on record.Then the episode's real gift: Mick and Jamie tell the story of renting the Bathhouse for a weekend — sleeping in the studio, playing pool while spinning We Are the Same on vinyl, Billy Ray wandering in at 10pm with stories, engineer Niles behind the board, Gord's training bike still parked where he left it. Once-in-a-lifetime stuff, told well.Next week's shuffle: "Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park" from In Between Evolution.Key Quotes"It's like an alarm clock goes off." — Mik, on where the song lands on the album"It is like a baseball bat in the face." — jD"Think about how many shows they played after 2004 that they did not play this song. That's why it ranks low. Guys, I'm telling it like it is." — Jamie"I think this is kind of Gord's secret talent — he listens better than everybody." — Mik"He says '700-foot ceiling' like four times, but the second or third time it's '700 and sinking,' which is just cool." — Jamie"It kind of felt very lived in. There was nothing you couldn't touch, nothing you couldn't sit on." — Mik, on the Bathhouse"I'll get emotional if I talk about it." — Jamie, on being shown the band's jam space"Well, I know what we forgot to do this week.

O RUSH VOLTOU! A lendária banda canadense fez um retorno histórico aos palcos em 29 de março de 2026, abrindo a cerimônia do Juno Awards no TD Coliseum (EUA). Esta foi a primeira apresentação pública oficial de Geddy Lee e Alex Lifeson sob o nome "Rush" desde o encerramento da turnê R40 em 2015. O show marcou a estreia da baterista alemã Anika Nilles, que assumiu o posto do saudoso mestre Neil Peart. A banda abriu a premiação com uma versão poderosa de "Finding My Way", a faixa de abertura do seu álbum de estreia de 1974, o que nos deu um excelente motivo para esta resenha faixa a faixa deste disco como celebração do retorno do Rush!#rush #FiftySomethingTour

Interview Date: March 22nd, 2026Episode Summary:In this episode, Menina Fortunato sits down with choreographer and movement director Mark Samuels for a conversation about persistence, timing, and carving out your own path in the dance industry. Mark shares how he started out as a self-taught dancer in Toronto, learning choreography by recording music videos on VHS tapes and studying them frame by frame long before YouTube or social media existed.He opens up about his early years dancing with Luther Brown's group Do Dat, how that experience launched his professional career, and the bold move that changed everything: cold-calling contacts connected to a music video he loved until one of those calls led him to New York for a Mariah Carey project. Mark also reflects on the importance of saying yes, staying versatile, building relationships, and continuing to train beyond your comfort zone. From assisting Paul Becker for years to choreographing recent major projects like the Juno Awards, Mark's story is a reminder that longevity in this industry comes from talent, initiative, and consistency.Show Notes0:01 — Mark's dance career and major credits intro2:45 — Learning dance from VHS and MuchMusic10:33 — Joining Luther Brown's Do Dat crew13:15 — Early paid gigs and touring Canada17:40 — Assisting Paul Becker for years in film21:05 — Mariah Carey story begins with cold-calling34:36 — “Say yes and figure it out”45:22 — Biggest mistake: not training in more styles57:56 — “Contacts equals contracts” career lesson1:33:31 — Slow growth, patience, and next goals matterIn the early days of his career, Mark danced for countless Canadian artists such as Shawn Desman, Jully Black, Maestro Fresh Wes and Nelly Furtado to name a few.

Photo: Utqiagvik coast in June 2022. (Alena Naiden) Arctic sea ice has been shrinking in recent decades, reaching record lows both in summer and in winter. A new study shows a continuation of this trend: ice is sticking to Alaska's northern shores for less time than it used to. Researchers say this can have implications for the climate, resource development, and subsistence hunting. The Alaska Desk's Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports. Andrew Mahoney is a research professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. In January, he and his colleague published a study in the “Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans”. It focused on the ice that attaches to the shores of Alaska's northern coast, called landfast ice. They found that over nearly three decades, the landfast ice in Alaska's Arctic is forming later, breaking up earlier, and not reaching as far offshore. “So it’s sort of shrinking in time, and it’s shrinking in space as well.” Mahoney previously looked at the landfast ice in Chukchi and Beaufort seas in a study published in 2014. At that time, the Chukchi Sea seemed to experience more ice loss, while the Beaufort Sea seemed more stable. This year's study showed that that has changed. “Now we’re starting to see changes in the Beaufort Sea, that the Beaufort Sea of today is not the Beaufort Sea of the 1970s. Mahoney says that while landfast ice is only a small fraction of the overall ice cover, it is the type of ice most people come in contact with. Indigenous communities have used it for millennia to hunt – like whalers in Utqiagvik in spring. “A large fraction of the community, at any one time might actually be out on the land fast ice actively whaling, and the success of that whale hunt is in part related to how accessible and how stable and safe the land fast ice is.” He added that the oil and gas industry also uses landfast ice to build seasonal ice roads to connect to facilities. His team's study was funded by the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, with the interest of oil and gas development near shore. And when landfast ice breaks up earlier in spring, coastal communities lose a shield protecting them from the open water and waves. “There’s a lot of erosion affecting these communities. Most of it happens in the fall, but we could start to see more erosion happening in the springtime if landfast Ice keeps breaking up earlier.” The Arctic has been warming four times faster than the rest of the world. The recent landfast ice decline might be related to the overall thinning of Arctic sea ice due to climate change. But more research is needed to better understand the process behind it. Orlando Carroll was elected chairman of the White Mountain Apache Tribe on April 1, 2026. (Courtesy Orlando Carroll for WMAT Chairman) It was just election day for the 15,000-member White Mountain Apache Tribe. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, a new chairman has been named and hopes his administration can help change course. The tribal radio station first announced official election committee results late Wednesday. Whiteriver school board member Orlando Carroll won the seat by 80 ballots. Over 4,200 votes were cast in that race. The chairman-elect celebrated with supporters. “You are the core of the Carroll administration.” Carroll promises stability and a brighter future after the tribe had two different sitting chairmen within in recent weeks.

Justin Bieber is ramping up for one of his biggest comebacks yet, with a surprise intimate concert at Los Angeles Roxy Theatre on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, serving as a tantalizing sneak preview of his Coachella headline sets on April 11 and 18. National Today reports Bieber skipped the Juno Awards to deliver fans-only performances of hits from his 2025 albums Swag and Swag II, including Daisies, Walking Away, and Speed Demon, calling it a teaser for the festivals massive stages. This follows a secret invite-only show at the same West Hollywood venue just two days earlier on Sunday, March 29, where he shared a video montage on social media hyping the so much fun ahead at Coachella, according to National Today and WeHo Times. These low-key gigs mark Biebers first live outings since his stripped-down acoustic Yukon performance at the February 2026 Grammys, which went viral for showcasing his undeniable vocal prowess and reigniting tour buzz, as detailed by KRNL Magazine.

Bitcoin-backed mortgages are now officially here — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have greenlit the first US government-backed product that lets you use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral to buy a home, and most people are completely misreading what this actually means.The structure is more nuanced than the headlines suggest: you pledge Bitcoin into a Coinbase Prime account, take out a second loan backed by that collateral to fund your down payment, and crucially — the collateral is never mark-to-market. No margin calls if Bitcoin dumps 40% overnight. That's the biggest part of this story nobody's talking about.The US Treasury's own 2025 financial report: $6 trillion in assets, $48 trillion in liabilities — a net position of negative $41.7 trillion, up $2 trillion in one year.
