So it's come to this: at long last, we follow up on a long-buried tip and try to get to the bottom of men's adventure's most underwhelming series, The Penetrator # 15: The Quebec Connection. Folks, we got the shaft! Turns out, this book is less "fun insane romp through zesty prose and reactionary 70s politics" and more "bordering on hate speech" with brief interludes of incredibly detailed bus routes and descriptions of ... driving in Buffalo. Safe to say this book will neither grow on you nor show you anything you particularly want to see, but the episode finds some decent veins to work on. NOTE: because of Clsn's screw-up, we were NOT able to record with Iain McIntyre this time around, but you should still check out the book he and Andrew Nette edited, Sticking It to the Man: Revolution and Counterculture in Pulp and Popular Fiction, 1950 to 1980. NOTE 2: We bought our copies used, and got the cover you see above. Apparently, and upsettingly, there are new copies available (Clsn was wrong AGAIN!), which you should absolutely avoid, but which do have a cover that really plays up the Quebec and really plays down anything having to do with the book. Recommendations: "Captain Marvel" by Stan Getz The Films of Kelly Reichardt Music: "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen "John the Fisherman" by Primus "The Canadian Lumberjack" by Stompin' Tom Connors

Whiskey Jack have been making music together for over 40 years. Band leader and banjo player Duncan Fremlin, joins us on Episode 452 of Folk Roots Radio to chat about the band, and their experience on the road with Stompin' Tom Connors, as his tour band. Since Stompin' Tom's death in 2013, Whiskey Jack have been keeping his songs and legacy alive with a tribute show "Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom". Chatting with Duncan was great fun, and it’s a great interview - and definitely worth sticking around for. As usual, we also check out more of the latest new releases, and this time around it's new music from Villages, The Maes, Jay Gavin And The Tired Sunday Choir and the Tired Sunday Choir, Mike Klein, Jean-Paul De Roover and David Kaufman.

As the leaves turn to bright reds and golden yellows in our fast approaching fall season, nightmares of long snowy winters begin to occupy our minds. After all, it is September. For some, September means back to school. For us, this month also means leaving the enchanted woods where we record this podcast to venture into the world. Don’t worry, Matt went and returned safe. At least from what we can see. We talk cognitive nutritional supplements in a new Top 5. Hockey Night at the Museum (25:25) If you live or have travelled to Canada, you’ve been exposed to hockey in some way. From local team fundraising drives to very public NHL product endorsement, and from outdoor rinks lit throughout the night to the quasi-ubiquitous talk about who will win the Stanley Cup this season: hockey is a part of Canada, there is little denying that. But what happens when hockey becomes part of an exhibit meant to be a celebration of the influence of the game? Could the confines of the museum trap hockey, limiting our impression of just how pan-Canadian the game is? Or could this exhibit, created to align with Canada’s 150 celebrations, show us that hockey is much more ingrained in the mostly barren frozen land we call Canada? Matt spent a night at the Canadian Museum of History’s exhibit, appropriately entitled, Hockey in Canada: More than Just a Game! Matt gives us a thorough runthrough of the display as we dive into the socio-cultural aspects of the exhibit. We explore gender, race, Aboriginal and First Nations’ representation as we pick apart the revisionist portrayal of how hockey has made Canada and, how Canadians have made hockey. For more information on the exhibit visit: http://www.historymuseum.ca/hockey/ Recommendations (1:06:50) Matt recommends Writing Excuses Podcast and two short works of science fiction: Arthur C. Clarke’s Of Time and Stars; Isaac Asimov’s Short Story Bibliography Phil recommends Netflix’s Luke Cage Concluding thought: “I like ice hockey. No one is ever going to ask me to write about that as a metaphor for life” ― Steven Pinker Make sure to check out the Poplar Cove podcast, on iTunes, Stitcher or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Two weeks ago, we dedicated our show to the brand new 50th anniversary collection honouring the one and only Stompin' Tom Connors, featuring interviews with George Canyon, Corb Lund, and Whiskey Jack. This week, we're revisiting that collection in a chat with Andy Curran of Anthem Legacy and ole Label Group, one of the architects of this special collection. He talks about how the album came together, what went into selecting the track list, and more. Mike recently sat down with one of the country's fastest-rising hip-hop artists, iLLvibe, and renowned artist and producer Myer Clarity. The two chat about their latest collaboration, We Are the Aliens, the state of hip-hop in Canada, and more. And finally, R&B singer Patrick Lehman joins us to chat about current projects, including the follow up to his Juno-nominated release Butchy's Son and songwriting sessions in L.A., Nashville, and his home city of Montreal.
In honour of Canada Day and the Canada 150 celebrations, this week's show is a special one dedicated to the quintessential Canadian troubadour, Stompin' Tom Connors. Anthem Legacy, an imprint of ole Label Group, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of the country's most prolific and icon artists with a release featuring 14 of his best-known hits along with four covers by the likes of Corb Lund, The Cuddy/Polley Family band, Whiskey Jack, and George Canyon. Join us as we chat with three of those artists - Corb Lund, Whiskey Jack, and George Canyon - about Stompin' Tom's legacy, his influence on so many Canadian songwriters, and the compilation's goal of sharing his iconic catalogue with a new generation of music fans.
Over the course of a career that has lasted more than half a century, Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot has achieved global stardom and exceptional influence. Bob Dylan’s a fan—he's said, “I can’t think of any [Lightfoot songs] I don’t like.” These songs—“Beautiful,” “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” and many others—have been treasured by generations of popular musicians and listeners around the world. But Gordon Lightfoot was just one of many aspirants who moved to Toronto in the early 1960s to try their hand in the burgeoning folk music scene there. Lightfoot tells host Alec Baldwin about fitting a feeling to a melody, why he owes his first hit record to an exec's girlfriend, and how he wrote "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by pulling lines straight from the newspaper.

Ashley also talks about growing up in North Carolina and attending a school of science and mathematics, how trying to practice Chinese with a pen pal became a great romance, and balancing her interests in screenwriting and filmmaking with comics and zines. Featuring music by Stompin' Tom Connors.
