    Something a little different this month as Jacob and I interview Charlotte and Bien from Trash Panda Brass - a queer brass band residing in Toronto. Formed in 2022 the band have made quite an impact in the brass band scene with their exciting and joyful arrangements of modern pop classics.

    We had a wonderful time talking and laughing with them about their work and music in general. You will love their arrangements! Of course you have to listen to find out the origin of their name!

    Jacob and I are excited to introduce you to the Gay4Nature collective. Based in Canada they work at the intersection of queer identity and climate justice - a unique combination.

    We had a wonderful time talking to the founders Anna Bigland-Pritchard and Alex Chen. We covered a wide range of topics including their new work, Green, of which we hear a preview. Stay to the end to hear a queer version of the coffee cantata! Amazing!

    It was a great pleasure to welcome back Eveshka Ghost to the podcast. She recently released her new film "Broken Eyes" - for which she not only wrote the music but also wrote and directed the film.

    We not only discuss the film but delve into Eveshka's quite unique way of writing and playing music. To be honest, I am in awe of her abilities as a composer and musician and I really have no idea how she does it in the way she does. Take a listen to find out more.
