Witchpolice Radio ·

2025/09/01

It's here! Episode 1,000! Who knew this silly podcast would have lasted so long?This, probably unsurprisingly, isn't a regular episode of Witchpolice Radio.

On this episode, I respond to questions from listeners, friends,

Witchpolice Radio ·

2025/08/25

Great chat with award-winning singer-songwriter Stephanie Westdal, all about balancing bold, vulnerable lyrics about serious issues with danceable pop songs, the upcoming Goddess Series of events celebrating creative women, and much more! This one is jumping the queue because it’s a little time sensitive and I’m working around the big 1,000th episode coming soon... This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company. Huge thanks to everyone

This isn't a regular episode of Witchpolice Radio. It's an abridged audio version of a two-hour(!) conversation I had with the host of video podcast Peg City Soundoff on his show. We talked all about podcasting (including my upcoming 1,000th episode and his one-year anniversary), local music -- of course -- and all sorts of other stuff. You can find the full video chat on Peg City Soundoff's Facebook or YouTube. Always very nice to see other people

Even though Paul Hodgert has been involved with various Witchpolice things over the last little while, I had never personally sat down and interviewed him — until now.

2025/07/14

Anyone involved in the local music scene (and beyond) in Winnipeg is probably aware of the tragic accident on Canada Day that led to the death of Royal Canoe bassist Brendan Berg and his partner Olivia Michalczuk. Brendan (along with Royal Canoe drummer Derek Allard) was on a very early episode of Witchpolice Radio back in fall 2014, so this is a reissued version of that episode for those who want to remember him.
