S1 Ep 1029Poison Suckers
EI’ve been doing this podcast for eleventy trillion years and somehow — despite enjoying many of their various projects for the past three decades — I’ve never had either member of Poison Suckers on the show. That changes now! Tune in for a chat about their brand new 7" EP ('Charmer') on Transistor 66, Winnipeg trash, pro wrestling, watermelons, the power of the train whistle, and more!Plus you get to hear me prattling on (again) about how much I love the Quiffs, in light of the upcoming reunion show with the Suckers on the bill. It’s a hoot. Huge thanks to everyone who supports the podcast on Patreon. You can help out for as little as a couple bucks a month if you like the show and want to throw some change in the guitar case! As always, if you like the podcast, please tell a friend or 20! Rate and review on your podcast player of choice! Word of mouth is still the main way Witchpolice Radio reaches new ears. Thanks for listening in the podcast's 13th year (and it will continue forever because I can't stop).

S1 Ep 1028Jacob Brodovsky
ESinger-songwriter Jacob Brodovsky is set to release ‘Tell the Kids We Tried’, his new LP, later this year.

S1 Ep 1027Two Crows for Comfort
EDogs and Winnipeg Beach and writing folk songs, oh my!

S1 Ep 1026Chandler Pretty
ETrying something new on this one: you're probably used to my show's titles starting with the episode number (this one is #1026), but apparently that hampers a show's ability to be found be potential new listeners on certain platforms, so this time we're testing the guest's name alone.Here's my chat with local indie-pop artist Chandler Pretty about getting into the music scene backwards, the cinematic sound of her debut EP ('Act V: Bloom'), bringing dark motifs to an otherwise bright genre, and much more!

S1 Ep 1025WR1025: Dog Pops
EWhen Dog Pops were last on the podcast, they were a brand new band. Fast-forward to today, and they have the excellent ‘Good Pudding’ long-player out in the world and are playing their jangly little songs about animals and food all over town.Tune in for my conversation with Top Pop Marshall Birch, right here and ready for your earholes!
