This is the podcast where Seanorama explains when he was trying to find a home for the podcast, he got stuck on how to label the podcast. As per usual, this sparks his thoughts on a subject and he recalls how his whole life he’s been unable to find the right label to place on himself. “What kind of book are you writing?” “What kind of music do you play?” “What kind of podcast is it?” Join the Seanorama as he explores labels, and discovers the Lost Art of Variety.

Confused? Yeah, so am I.

Seanorama is in deep thought with the news about Gord Downie from the Tragically Hip, the singer for the most successful band in history. The Hip have had a profound impact on every single Canadian and have been woven into the thoughts and memories of all of us. Seanorama is no exception. He shares his thoughts and a couple of stories.

Seanorma comments without any prep on news articles presented to him by fellow geek Corey Toews. In this age of misinformation, Seanorama follows suit by NOT reading the Articles and reacting to them. An exercise in futility, perhaps? Hey, if it works for most news media sources, then Seanorama can do it too! Here are the articles in question he gives his non-researched reactions to: A) Eminem versus Nick Cannon (http://uproxx.com/music/nick-cannon-eminem-rap-battle/); B) Backing tracks in metal (https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/are_metal_bands_lying_to_fans_by_using_backing_tracks.html?no_takeover); C) Sons of Anarchy con incident (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/05/30/police-called-on-cast-of-sons-of-anarchy-after-demanding-space-city-comic-con-pay-them/); D) Searching for Sugar Man (http://centennialconcerthall.com/2016/06/rodriguez/)

He talks about the changes made to the series on the One, the improvements, the devolvements, and his general take on where the series is from its heyday with Rockband 2.

Seanorama discusses why HE got married and had kids after all of these years of just not being interested. Yes, it’s deep and philosophical and downright gushy. He waxes eloquent about why getting married for the right reasons (in his case) and having kids (not out of expectation) was the right road for him. He talks best friends and bonding yourself to those closest around you.

Seanorama delves into what it means to be successful, using the heartbeat analogy of a drummer, the "success" of Batman V Superman, and doing great hair. Yes these are all connected. Follow our host as he connects the dots with these three disparate yet similar topics. And how he came to realize his strengths as a drummer.

It's an emotional journey going between his dad and Gord, and the importance of both men, both bands in his life.
