NSTS Episode 237 – Singer Songwriter Nelson Sobral

The infinitely talented Nelson Sobral returns to the show this week, and I’m delighted to host him. 

His new record Second Arrow just dropped, featuring the single “Dancing Fool” and soon-to-be megahit “In The Middle Of The Night”. Nelson shares the context behind the Buddha-inspired title of his new album, and we chat about the old blues greats, difficult times, and how bad I am at rolling the ‘R’ when pronouncing his surname.   

Sobral’s playlist:  

The Rolling Stones – Rocks Off

Bettye Swann – Don’t Touch Me

Ray Charles – A Song For You

Mattie Leon – Boy

Hank Williams – I’m So Lonely I Could Cry

NSTS Episode 236 – CHUM-FM Producer Tom Jokic

Completely by coincidence, my guest on NSTS this week is none other than longtime CHUM-FM Morning Show producer Tom Jokic. He was scheduled to appear in my studio two years ago to the day for his episode, but was forced to cancel due to a new concern people were calling COVID. 

Exactly two years later, Tom makes good on his appearance by turning up here in person to recount some of the great stories he’s amassed not only as a producer, but also as the cohost of Famous Lost Words, the excellent podcast he hosts alongside MuchMusic alum Christopher Ward. Great stories, great conversation – Tom’s among the best in the business.     

Jokic’s playlist: 

The Rolling Stones – Shattered

The Bee Gees – Nights on Broadway

Crosby, Stills, and Nash – Suite Judy Blue Eyes

Alanis Morrisette – You Oughta Know  

Max Webster – The Party
