| Bonus Interview: Adam Bunch, Toronto Historian | 29 mai 2025 | 01:00:44 | |
Here's the second of a few interviews I did for the now defunct The Human Interest Hour Podcast. Like the Farbsy interview, this is more general, based on the guest's background. In this case, the guest is the thoughtful and forthcoming Adam Bunch. He's a Toronto historian, author, and educator, among other things. We chat a bit about how he got into history in general, the history of Toronto, and... at that point away we go. If you're into history, or Canadian history, or Toronto, or all three, you'll like this. Comment or DM host Alex Southey to let him know who you'd like to hear interviewed, musician or otherwise. -- Remember to follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

| Bonus Interview: Farbsy, Digital Creator & Musician | 15 mai 2025 | 01:19:04 | |
Bonus Thursday episode for ya here. It was originally recorded as an episode of the doomed podcast The Human Interest Hour -- doomed because I was at the helm of it and apparently I can only handle one project at a time. Sometimes not even that. So!? I'm collapsing regular interviews I do into YWS as bonus episodes. If you don't care about these general interviews, just ignore them! But I promise each monday will be your regularly scheduled programming. Without furth ado (but "adieu" is goodbye?), I've got internet personality/actor/multi-hyphenate Farbsy -- or Max Farber as I met him initially, back in the pre-Pandemic days when he was focused only on pursuing music. Over the course of the Pandemic I watched Max (successfully) try out different "bits", for lack of a better word, online. One ended up sticking -- a character based on customer service reps. What would they REALLY say to a customer, if they could. What do they say to themselves off mic? With that premise, Max's online "star" rose considerably. Listen to the interview for more. Support Farbsy, and supporttttt this pod. Thanks. | |||

| Ep. 50 - Alex Southey's Worst Song: Anxiety and Community | 17 févr. 2025 | 01:03:37 | |
We made it to 50! Nuts. As a fun anniversary/marker thing, Jess Roveda thought it would be fun to have me be a guest some time. We landed on episode 50 and so here it is. I was an open book for Jess and she ended up kind of getting my autobiography out of me. We do talk about some trigger warning material such as mental health/break downs and binge drinking, so keep that in mind if you choose to listen. Overall though, it was a very sunny anniversary episode thanks to Jess's sunny demeanour and inviting work as an interviewer. I don't know if anyone reads these things but, ironically, this is even more of a snapshot in time than I realised at the time of recording (late December) because I'm drinking again as of this release date (mid Feb). I didn't drink from Oct 15 to... Feb 1? Something like that. I felt enough time had passed I could keep drinking just to social occasions, and to few drinks. I felt like I still wanted to relate to people in that specific way for a while longer, for better or worse. So far, so good. Anyway, this is really about music. Enjoy.
