Volume 5: Great Big Sea

We raid our dusty reel-to-reel archives for this installment - a 1996 interview (when we were with North Country Public Radio) with the Newfoundland group Great Big Sea, specifically GBS frontman Alan Doyle. We did this one backstage before a concert in Kingston, Ontario, some months after the group's first major label CD, "Up", was released.

Volume 4: Sankofa Strings

This installment of the 19 Minutes podcast shines its moderately bright spotlight on the revival of the black string band tradition. We were tasked by a national program back in June to record a concert by the Sankofa Strings at a local folk festival. The seven-song set was electric, infectious, and a host of other adjectives, and led us to bring them into the studio the next morning for an interview of our own. The in-studio experience was just as entertaining, and the result is what follows.

Volume 3: Tuomas Laurinen, Shamanviolin

For this week's 19 Minutes: The Podcast, we get out our ethnomusicologist's hat (we think it looks like a touque) and flash back almost exactly one year ago to an interview with Finnish composer, film director, and ethnomusicologist Tuomas Laurinen. Laurinen spoke about shamanistic music, much of it from northern European cultures that have dwindled, or disappeared entirely.

As always, ignore the backannounce at the end, just in case you were planning on trying to make it to the concert.

Volume 2: Nolan McKelvey and 33

This week's "19 Minutes: The Podcast" flashes all the way back to this spring, and an interview with Nolan McKelvey and bandmate Andrew Lauher, just as McKelvey's album, "After the Roses" was being released to the screaming and teeming masses.

As always, ignore the reference to the upcoming concert in the backannounce - ignore it, too, because I had a cold that left me sounding (more) nasal when I voiced it.

Volume 1: Alison Brown

Hello, and welcome to 19 Minutes Past the Hour's burgeoning media empire. We're going to inaugurate 19 Minutes: The Podcast with a 2003 interview with Alison Brown. As I say, it's from 2003, so you can ignore the backannounce at the end referencing her upcoming concerts. And on the (likely) chance I haven't figured out how to set up this podcasting business correctly, thanks for your patience, and stop by again soon.
