Indiecan's podcast

Now Magazine has been telling it like it sees it in Toronto since 1981. Michael, the papers first music editor, talks to IndieCan listeners about the evolution of Toronto indie, the future of print media and the special thrill he gets when a record label dislikes one of NOW Magazine's reviews.

For music this week, we have new Blue Rodeo, The Johnstones, Ox and Acres and Acres. From The greatest Grey Cup blunder of all time winning Montreal - we have Winter Gloves, and more new finds that we call the best music you've never heard!
