Comedian Tim Gray joins the show to talk about social politics in comedy, performing  internationally, and getting married on CBC's 'The Debaters.' Our political discussion births a song saluting Social Justice Warriors everywhere - even those without a Twitter photo.

What started as a hangout turned into an impromptu episode of the show! Songwriter and guitarist Ava Glendinning joins us to discuss the tangled nature of local music scenes, bad retail jobs, and the darker side of online amateur fiction. A discussion about childhood music lessons leads us to a song about another childhood memory - an imaginary friend that turns out to not be a nice person.

This week we meet Andrew Sookram, owner of Sookram's Brewing in Winnipeg, to discuss ambition, passion, motivation and of course beer. Recorded in the Sookram's taproom, we make our way through a flight of beer as we go, as Andrew explains the brewing process, and how he went from home-brewing to opening his own business.

For track 6, we welcome Jen Zoratti, columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. Jen discusses how she covers both the big topics that dominate the public consciousness, and the more obscure stories that lie around the margins. She shares some stories from her days as a music journalist covering concerts, and the time she knew she was in trouble because Lauryn Hill was coming to town. Andy and Jen share their mutual disdain for abusive online commenters, and it becomes the subject of this week's song. Andy also shares some memories of the worst Hallowe'en treats he ever received.

Host Andy Cole talks with all kinds of people - creative types or otherwise - and then they write a song together. Episodes consist of an interview, some candid clips of the songwriting process, and then the finished song itself.
