Season 5, Episode 20.5 – Manitoba Podcast Festival

Something special happened today. Seanorama and FastFretFingers attended the Manitoba Podcast Festival on International Podcast Day. We met some great people, learned some stuff, found out that the local community of podcasts is much bigger than everyone could hope and finally got to meet Sam from Witchpolice Radio. Take a listen and find out what we found. #manitobapodcastfestival #internationalpodcastday And take a listen to some great local podcasts. On Facebook @mbpodfest I came into this only knowing this one: Witchpolice Radio – Interviews with bands and artists from the local music scene, this one has long been a favorite. Sam’s style is his own and has its own beats and quirks on the show that really make it a great show. And I am downloading episodes of all of these right now: The Winnipeg Music Project – Something about Ashley’s story and how she came about learning to perform music through the podcast was inspiring. I love doing the things I fear the most so her story really resonated with me. Ever Sick! Podcast – Stefan has something going for him --- he has a timing and that IT factor. The guy could probably read a phonebook and make it funny. Paper Cut Podcast – Got a chance to chat with Liv --- I liked the approach their show takes to interviewing the people you don’t usually hear from. And they are fans of TicketMomster which is enough in my books. Past Bedtime Studio – Met these people in the audience and had a great chat. Love the idea behind the podcast: audio-drama. Great guys! There were more that I don’t have the names handy and may not have been able to find. To anyone I spoke with, please send me your info so I can continue to promote your material on the show.

About your hosts

Sean McGinity

Profile picture for Sean McGinity
Hi, I am Sean "SeanGeek" McGinity. And I am a geek. For me, the definition of the word geek comes from liking something so much, that I deep dive into it. Not just consuming it... but becoming it. I "geek out". Everything started with comics. I read them and studied them with a fine eye, and then started making my own. Since then, I have "geeked out" on movies (Star Wars The Evil WIthin, Hurt), music writing, recording, and performing (The Classic Embers and Dome), writing (the Symka comic and the upcoming Intuitives novel), and now... this Podcast.

Hey guys, SeanGeek here. Just to be clear, this is me geeking out on Todd "FastFretFingers" McGinity here. Todd is the GOAT. My brother is an established musician, mastering the Fretboard with a blistering discipline. If there was a guitar style, tone, pitch... Todd would find a way to replicate it. From his early days mastering Van Halen and Rush, his musical palate has expanded with forays into classical and flamenco, hard rock, blues and pop. From live performances to learning the recording process, when it comes to music, he has done it all.
