Join us for the season finale of the Good + Plenty Producer's Club podcast as we chat with Montreal-based producer Isabelle Banos! You may know Isabelle as the bass and synth player from alt-pop three-piece Caveboy, or from her videos on LANDR's youtube page. We chat about Isabelle's studio space, Chez Ballsy, and what sort of environment and music she wants to create for women, non-binary and gender minorities in the music industry. This is the final episode of Season 1 and we'll see you back for more episodes in Season 2, starting September 2022!

I'm sure you've heard this before... "well, what really is mastering anyway?!". Join host Lana Winterhalt as she seeks to answer that question with Ontario-based Mastering Engineer Heather Kirby of Dreamlands Mastering! Heather explains the process of mastering, how she balances the creative with the technical, and why she thinks "mastering engineer" is a really misleading title for this job. Lana is also joined by Music Publishers Canada CEO Margaret McGuffin who answers some questions and common misconceptions around the proposed Bill C-11 in Canada that impacts digital content creators everywhere (yeah, you.).

After a brief podcast break, Lana Winterhalt returns with episode 8 featuring Afro-soul artist and producer, Sadé Awele. Sadé is a music lover, passionately fusing brand new sounds with the bass and percussion-heavy music of her home country Nigeria. Sadé talks about what it's like to be an African-Canadian woman making music in Vancouver, BC, what her creative process is like, and what keeps her passion for music flowing every day.

Join host Lana Winterhalt as she chats with Nim, an engineer, live sound tech, musician and producer based in Hamilton, Ontario. From playing with their band Basement Revolver to mixing and mastering projects like Heather Valley, Nim gives listeners an inside-look into their creative journey, their set-up, and their experience as a non-binary femme person in the audio world.

Lana Winterhalt gets the opportunity to chat with Hill Kourkoutis, a producer, songwriter, composer, artist, musician, and director working out of her Toronto studio, The Lair. Hill goes in-depth about her creative process, giving listeners an inside look into how Hill finds the clients she's going to work with, how she builds a track, and just how important making music is to her. You're not going to want to miss this one.

Lana Winterhalt chats with artist, producer, composer, and engineer Sarah MacDougall out of her own studio, Dream Ship Sound, based in London, Ontario, Canada. Sarah's journey into music started with a 4-track and one-inch tape machine and has evolved into an impressive multi-award winning career as a touring artist and songwriter, as well as producing, mixing, and mastering for a number of artists across the world.
