Big in Canada

Inside of you are two Canadian classic rock songs

NEW EP! Keshia Chanté redefined Canadian R&B before she could even get her driver's license. We discuss her career, her hits and what made her such a game changing figure in Canadian R&B. Plus: The CFL, the soft sounds of 90s R&B in Canada, teen stardom and more podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/k...

We take a big sip from our red solo cups and dive into the life and times of rap party rockers Down With Webster. But beware: the floors are sticky, the morals are questionable, the neon is bright, the outfits are bad and there are so many dudes in this band.

Here's a LiveJournal page for what was played on every episode of MuchMusic's the Wedge up until it ended in 2010 thewedge.livejournal.com

Big in Canada

Next week on Big in Canada: Down With Webster

We (sort of) watched the Junos so you didn't have to. We dig into the big winners, the best performances and the fake awards. Cancon is alive and well at the Juno Awards. We talk Sum 41, Anne Murray, Nemahsis, Bublé, Peach Pit, Deantha Edmunds, Good Charlotte and of course, our friend, Tate McRae.

Before she changed the words of "O Canada" at the Big Game, Chantal Kreviazuk was, somehow, kinda everywhere. A solo artist, writer of '00s pop smashes and scene setter for the most significant Canadian hip-hop album of all-time. How the hell did this happen? podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

Oh Jann-ada. Mac, Laura and certified Jann Fann Dorothea Paas discuss the beauty, the humour, the sacred and the profane of one of Canada's greatest Adult Contemporary Musicians/Comedians, @jannarden.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

Tomorrow, it's Big in Jann-anada.

EPISODE 007 out now! Known feeler of song @elamin.bsky.social joins the show to talk about Kingston, Ontario's foremost rudeboys, Bedouin Soundclash and what makes their unforgettable track "When the Night Feels My Song" a modern Cancon standard. open.spotify.com/episode/33A8...

Do this every Saturday amid no tariff tensions and you’ve got a pretty good idea

If every Canadian producer did this, all they’d be left with down there is Rubin.

For 2000s week, I took a stab at compiling a list of the Canadian albums that shaped the sound and culture of the aughts. Take a stroll down memory lane 👇 www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

EPISODE 03 is now out! Mac and Laura dive into Prozzäk - one of Cancon's most forward thinking pop success stories - and find out how Simon and Milo became the first true cartoon band. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/68KO... Or here: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...

NEW EPISODE! We start to untangle Fefe Dobson's unique and ground-breaking career by diving into her debut single, "Bye Bye Boyfriend". Turn on that solid-state distortion button because Fefe rocks. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/f...

I've listened to this and my mind has been blown a few times. Get Down was written by Prozzäk? WHAT?!

It's like someone made a podcast aimed specifically at me.

Thank you @exclaimdotca.bsky.social ! We plan to plumb the depths of your archive!
