MTP: Episode 135

Hello my friends and thanks for joining us for the final episode of the MTP. When I started this little sonic experiment back in 2011, I never thought I’d be sharing music in this format for 10 years. And yet, here we are. I’m proud to say that we’ve always stayed true to our aim…

MTP: Episode 109

Hi again everyone and welcome back to our program. It’s hard to believe the year’s almost finished and we’re approaching another festive season. Fear not, for before we get into the mistletoe we have one final hour of real, grownup music to help you through the end of November. The Marking Time Podcast Episode 109 is purpose-built…

MTP: Episode 91

Hello everyone and welcome to 2017.  It seems our holiday hangover lasted a bit longer than usual, hence the delay of our annual retrospective to nearly the end of January.  But I think it’s fair to say 2016 was a remarkable year, if not for any of the right reasons.  Still, there was some amazing music…

MTP: Episode 89

Hello everyone and thanks for joining us. We have a very poignant show for you this time out. As our listeners are no doubt aware, 2016 has been an absolutely awful year so far. We’ve lost musical giants David Bowie and Prince and, more recently, Sharon Jones and Leonard Cohen.  We pay tribute to these fallen…

MTP: Episode 86

Hello friends and fans! Welcome to another amazing hour of real, grown-up music courtesy of the MTP. Once again, we’ve assembled some excellent tracks, both new and not-so-new, to tantalize your ears and engage your senses. In many ways, the Marking Time Podcast Episode 86 is the culmination of the past five years and previous 85 programs:…

MTP: Episode 82

Hola amigos! It’s a very wet July here in Calgary, most unseasonably so. But we’ll not let that dampen our spirits or our love of real, grownup music. As it happens, I have the perfect cure for the rainy day blues. The Marking Time Podcast Episode 82 is a full hour of pure audio gold designed to summon the…

MTP: Episode 81

Hey again everyone. Here’s to the month of June and all the wonderful music festivals that this time of year brings. In honour of this great season of live performances and outdoor shows, I have a real treat for you. The Marking Time Podcast Episode 81 is absolutely, completely, 100% comprised of new music from a wide…

MTP: Episode 35

Hey everyone. Hope your spring is well under way. It is almost May, after all. (Is my inner patio-deprived whiny voice coming through?) Well, at least the music is fresh and new, even if the last vestiges of winter are still hanging around like an annoying guest who’s overstayed his or her welcome. I proudly…

MTP: Episode 14

It’s St. Valentine’s Day and there’s love in the air. Or perhaps the wind is blowing in from the local feedlot. <Kidding all you lovebirds.> In any case, it’s time for a spankin’ new edition of the Marking Time Podcast. More specifically, it’s the Marking Time Podcast Episode 14. Left clicking on the link opens our…

MTP: Episode 5

I’ve been feeling a bit more creative and upbeat of late, hence the new podcast so soon on the heels of the previous episode. Plus I think there’s a certain playfulness this time out that may not have been so evident before. Maybe it’s the change of seasons, or perhaps just the end of daylight…
