The Frank Welker Podcast

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:23:20 +0000

Frank Welker was always a guy… I wanted to focus on for NewbsRadio. In fact, focusing on this guy was one of the O.G. ideas I had when philosophizing on how NewbsRadio would work. He’s truly had one of the most amazing careers in Hollywood, though most people don’t even know who he is. Which is a [...]

The Tom Petty Podcast

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:51:45 +0000

When preparing a Tom Petty podcast… You’ve got to do your homework. We here at NewbsRadio celebrate the man’s entire catalog so it was pretty easy for us to wax poetic. Tom Petty is one of these guys that was meant for rocking your socks literally off, he did it in the 70s and as [...]

The Nine Inch Nails Podcast

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:14:11 +0000

For the Nine Inch Nails Podcast… …we had to brush up on our Canadian rock chops because we managed to fit into this week’s map, author and BidiniBand frontman Dave Bidini who, of course, spearheaded the Rheostatics. I say of course because if you don’t know who the Rheostatics are, you must have skipped the first [...]

The Alfred Hitchcock Podcast

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 05:54:52 +0000

The Alfred Hitchcock podcast… …appeared to let us combine two of our favourite things ever, which is why we loved making it so much, those things: Star Trek and Playboy magazine. Yep, the two seemingly most distant pieces of matter in the entire universe can be connected through one step in our map – you’ll [...]

The Wilco Podcast

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:00:29 +0000

The Wilco Podcast We’ve been waiting SO PATIENTLY to put this episode out. We actually had it scheduled for next episode but we felt that it would have been cruel to make you wait longer. So the pieces all came together, if you remember, we went to the Wilco show, we talked with Wilco drummer [...]

What About Bob? Podcast

NewbsRadio Olde Timey Radio Play!

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 09:48:06 +0000

Is it possible to have too much caffine? Not that we set out to prove or disprove the above question, but we came close. After our WKRP in Cincinnati episode, you may recall that we were rudely interrupted seconds before we wrapped the show. By a guy with a gun. You might have wondered what [...]

WKRP in Cincinnati Podcast

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:07:47 +0000

WKRP in Cincinnati was one of the best sitcoms ever… but if you watched it now, in it’s current form, you may notice that it’s missing something. Something say… je ne cais quoi? Well if you get the feeling you’ve been cheated, you’re bang on correct. See, WKRP in Cincinnati was set in a late [...]

Neil Young Podcast

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:06:35 +0000

The Neil Young Podcast… was a lot of fun because it allowed us to get up close to the scene right here in Vancouver! I am sure it comes as a surprise to Jesse Gander (Operation Makeout) that he is only two degrees from Liberace and that the Japandroids are three degrees from Phillip Seymour [...]

The Concert For Bangladesh

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:58:38 +0000

The Concert for Bangladesh Podcast… It all started with a phone call, it was of course 1971 and getting the word out usually involved many phone calls. Ravi Shankar was on one end of the call, the other, ex-Beatle George Harrison. A combination of civil war and natural disaster was ravaging East Pakistan in the [...]

A Very Newbsy Christmas

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 03:08:40 +0000

Twas a month before Christmas… and all through the room, Bob Geldof watching the news of Ethiopian doom. Yeah that’s pretty much how it all started – Band Aid I mean. Soon-to-be Sir Geldof was watching a BBC special on the Ethiopian famine when he had a vision, a picture in his head, a picture [...]

The Stand By Me Episode

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:04:45 +0000

There comes a time in every young man’s life, where he has to see a dead body. Stephen King knew this of course, being the sick bastard that he is, and so he wrote a book called Stand By Me. Rob Reiner put down a hoagie just long enough to done got his hands on [...]

The Paul’s Boutique Episode

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:42:05 +0000

Paul’s Boutique is… now one of the most respected rap albums of all time, it just took some time for everyone to take notice. Critically hailed as genius but too different than their debut “License to Ill” to be commercially viable the album was branded a bonafide flop. At it’s root, it was a sampling [...]

The Last Waltz 35th Anniversary Special

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 18:48:34 +0000

It was 35 years ago to the day that the original line up of the Band appeared on stage at Winterland in San Francisco for the last time. The event was captured by film-maker Martin Scorcese and released as “The Last Waltz” – arguably the greatest concert film ever made. Today on NewbsRadio we sit [...]

Ritchie Valens to Ritchie Valens

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:53:02 +0000

They say that the only certain things in life are death and taxes. We here at NewbsRadio have yet another item to add to that sage old saying. Laundry. That is, the only things that are certain in life are death, taxes and laundry. How would this apply to a podcast called Ritchie Valens to [...]

Appetite to Appetite

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:28:03 +0000

Appetite for Destruction Considered to be Guns n’ Roses‘ opus. One of the biggest selling albums of all time and certainly one of the releases that helped stomp out the hair metal movement of the 80s. It was arguably top of the heap at a time when the music industry was on the defence after [...]

Hamilton to Hamilton

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:05:52 +0000

Hamilton to Hamilton Sometimes it’s best to go with what you know. And since we don’t know anything about Hamilton Ontario we were lucky enough to know Hamilton blogger Seema Narula from thismustbetheplace.ca to help us fill in the blanks. We touch on the great city of Hamilton and somehow end up filling your head with [...]

Sweden to Sweden

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:00:25 +0000

Last week we had our “friends” pick a bunch of different place names for us to draw out of a hat. We agreed to each choose one and form a map around that particular place. Eric ended up pulling Sweden and David pulled Hamilton which will be coming up next next week. This week, we [...]

The Chelsea Hotel to the Hotel Chelsea

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 21:14:38 +0000

Blink and you might miss it. The historic Chelsea Hotel, constructed in the late 19th century in New York City, once the tallest building on the Manhattan skyline (12 stories tall), and home to a kajillion (that’s 10,000 zillion) creative individuals from Mark Twain to Allen Ginsberg to Dylan Thomas, will soon be a… drumroll… [...]

Ambient 1: Music for Airports to Ambient 1: Music for Airports

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 00:17:45 +0000

Who knew that after being hit by a car, Brian Eno would invent a genre? That genre is what has become to be known as Ambient and Eno not only pioneered it, he also invented the word to describe it. In this episode of NewbsRadio we go from start to finish with the 1978 Brian [...]

Nick Cave to Nick Cave

thisnewb@newbsradio.com (NewbsRadio) — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:26:04 +0000

In this, the 4th instalment of NewbsRadio the Podcast, thisnewb (me – why am I writing this in third person?) quickly and cleverly snaps together a NewbsRadio map with such vigor it’s like as if by complete fluke he completed his lego castle without using the instructions – it’s that good. Okay maybe it’s not [...]
