2017 Wrap Up and Highlights

Posted on January 3, 2018 By stephrc79

2017 was a good year over at Girth Radio. We continued to bring in guests that got our hosts excited to be there. We gave them a drink or two to get their secrets out and recorded for your listening pleasure and we laughed, high fived and from time to time bro hugged it out. We talked the real talk, silly talk and lots and lots of promo talk. Here’s a run down of some of our favourite moments from 2017.

In Session with…Sam Roberts

We were excited to host a private meet and greet for the serious Sam Roberts fans. It was an intimate gathering and host Sammy Younan pressed Sam if he was a nerd based on the sci-fi elements of his 2017 release TerraForm.




The Creative Imbalance episode 25 aka The Abominable Podception Illuminati Circus Orgy

This special edition of The Creative Imbalance podcast was so jammed packed that Sean had to get his friend Jenny Potter to help co-host it! The episode takes place around a Toronto Podcast Community meet up and features a marathon of short interviews from creators from shows such as Geek Hard, The Freeze, The One Sheet, Sweat and Salt, My Summer Lair, Fairy Tales For Unwanted Children and more.


Podception

Welcome’s 100th episode live taping with guest Maestro Fresh Wes

Karim Kanji’s show Welcome had a milestone episode recording his 100th Episode. We threw him a party and he brought in Maestro Fresh Wes to talk about his career and his lastest release Coach Fresh in front of a live audience. Photo Credits: Culture Snap Photography

Adding two more shows

In 2017 we added two more shows and we are excited to see how they develop over time. 21 Questions hosted by the dynamic duo Maggie and Vanessa tackle topics over beers and invited guests. They’ve covered topics like Marijuana, Millennials, and Dating. It’ll make you laugh and think and laugh some more.




Sex Ed Before Bed with host Ms.Rebecca aims to educate on all things Sex from Episode 4 Chronicles of a Trans Life to Episode 7 Mindful Masturbation.
