In this episode, I sit down with Vancouver’s own Dust Cwaine—a non-binary drag artist, singer-songwriter, and indie-rock provocateur. We talk about their journey from small-town theatre kid to queer scene leader, the making of their EP 17, and how they blend 90s alt-rock with drag spectacle to tell stories of fatness, aromanticism, and self-discovery. It’s a conversation full of heart, humor, and high-voltage honesty.

This week I’m joined by rising Canadian pop artist Connor Nelson, whose signature “Midnight Pop” sound blends moody R&B with cinematic production. We talk about the making of his debut EP Red Mountain Light, landing his song on Ginny & Georgia, and what it means to be an indie queer artist on the verge of a breakout moment.
