| 7/5/24 | 17 - Ron Macey: Always a Skydigger | "At the end of the day, that's all there is. It's friends and community, or else you're on a desert island all by yourself" — Ron Macey "Ronny came down [to The Spadina Hotel] to check us out. We did our set, and after, I said to Josh, "I don't give a sh•t how he plays, he looks so fantastic, he's in the band". — Andy Maize In the days of classified ads and land lines, a young and dashing Ron Macey put a callout in the back of NOW magazine, looking for a band that might need an "average bas... | 58m 17s | ||||||
| 6/19/24 | 16 - Josh Finlayson, Part 2: Collaborator / Consigliere | Whether it's creating Skydiggers classics with his long-time musical compadre Andy Maize, co-writing songs with heavy-hitters in Nashville, or composing music for television, Josh Finlayson places a high value on being a collaborator. In Josh's words, "...no one has the best ideas always. Anyone can have the best idea at any given moment, and to recognize [that] is what being a good collaborator is all about..." Aside from his 30+ years creating with Andy and Skydiggers, one of Josh’s ... | 54m 17s | ||||||
| 6/7/24 | 15 - Josh Finlayson, Part 1: Under the Influences | Before becoming a co-founder of Skydiggers, guitarist/singer/songwriter Josh Finlayson developed a deep love of folk, country and roots music. While listening with admiration to Doc Watson, Chet Atkins, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia Tyson and others on his Dad's record player (or in the family station wagon), his connection with the music bloomed. With the positive musical influences of his two older brothers, plus the help of a supportive guitar teacher, Josh gradually developed a s... | 37m 48s | ||||||
| 5/17/24 | 14 - Andy Maize: Goldslinger | "… that is my story - incomplete, but mostly the truth. About 5 guys in a Honda, making music, making memories, with nothing to lose" — Andy Maize ("The Situation") With his new EP Goldslinger, Skydiggers co-founder Andy Maize is once again marking a milestone birthday with a triumphant solo release, and we find him hitting his groove, shaking his booty, and baring his soul. With these 4 modern classics, Maize looks tenderly to the past while living fully and emphatically in the presen... | 55m 33s | ||||||
| 4/26/24 | 13 - Paul Langlois & Greg Ball: Guess What | Since the early days of the band, Skydiggers have placed a high value on friends, fans, and collaborators. What started over 30 years ago as a few songs on a Monday night at Toronto's Spadina Hotel gradually bloomed, to become a vibrant and joyful community, rich with stories and songs, still thriving and growing today. In Season 3 of Employee of the Myth, we highlight a few key musical relationships that have developed over the years, beginning with guitarist/songwriter Paul Langlois... | 1h 06m 50s | ||||||
| 12/5/23 | 12 - Bide Your Time: "Je t'aime toujours, mon amour" | "This is a celebration of the two of us making music together...for over 35 years". —Andy Maize "I'm very grateful that people will come and see us and that we've made a connection in the lives of an audience - what a gift that is". —Josh Finlayson Un peu française, un peu optimiste, the final track on Bide Your Time is a joyous Django Reinhart-meets-Mills Brothers number - the perfect chanson to send us off into the night with a smile in our hearts and a spring in our step. For this ... | 20m 12s | ||||||
| 11/21/23 | 11 - Bide Your Time: "Whatever The Cost" | "... it's about the cult of celebrity that we find ourselves in...people who are famous for being famous... one of those people was elected President of the United States." — Andy Maize "Whatever the Cost"—the 5th track on Bide Your Time—reveals a perspective partially ripped from the headlines, but also gleaned from a more panoramic look at society and fame. From stream of consciousness to the Santa Claus Parade, this episode finds Andy and Josh once again unveiling priceless memories and... | 25m 56s | ||||||
| 11/7/23 | 10 - Bide Your Time: "Keep It To Myself" | "When you release [a song] it's no longer yours, so you put it out into the world, and it finds its own path..." —Andy Maize Private thoughts, public work: a contrast that many artists and performers encounter, and Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson are no exception. Their ability to step back from their own personal challenges and present an all-embracing picture of the world may be one of their superpowers, but ...they're only human. In "Keep It To Myself", the raw emotions felt after a loss ar... | 30m 12s | ||||||
| 10/24/23 | 9 - Bide Your Time: "One Song at a Time" | "...every time you get up on stage, you try to represent what you're doing, to the best of your abilities. You can have a sh*tty song or a sh*tty set, and then you can turn it around. That's one song at a time...night after night" —Andy Maize In this episode, Andy and Josh explain how they stay positive when things get challenging, and how the band can be a safe haven when times are tough. They also talk about their annual Christmas show (a cherished tradition for so many of their fans), and... | 29m 40s | ||||||
| 10/10/23 | 8 - Bide Your Time: "Just Another Lucky Day" | At once current and timeless, "Just Another Lucky Day" calls out the behaviour of certain people in power and delves into the challenges faced by a divided society, while maintaining a deep warmth and strong melodic foundation. In this episode, Andy and Josh talk pandemic times, working with producer Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie), and creating another "classic Skydiggers" track. In addition to the interview, you'll also hear Andy and Josh perform two songs: "City of Sirens" (City of Si... | 24m 00s | ||||||
| 9/26/23 | 7 - Bide Your Time: "Employee of the Myth" | Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson discuss the first track from their new EP, Bide Your Time. They talk about their approaches to 30 years of singing harmonies together, and how they arrived at a "kitchen-party-bluegrass-jam" style for this track. They also reflect on a long-ago tour in the Netherlands with a stungun-toting promoter named "Rudolph", and the time when Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip quoted their song "A Penny More" on Saturday Night Live. In addition to the interview, you'll als... | 23m 03s | ||||||
| 8/29/23 | 6 - Hide Your Light: "Come to My Senses" | Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson are masters of embracing change and evolution in the creative process. Track 6—“Come to My Senses”—is an example of their ability to keep moving forward, and making music that is fresh, relevant, but still authentic to who they are. In this episode, they reveal how a song written years ago, blossomed in the recording studio with the help of a solid bass line, great musicians (such as trumpet player Daniel Lapp), and a fruitful collaboration with producer and mult... | 23m 28s | ||||||
