Geeks and Beats Podcast, Episode 150: A Death in the Family

Once I got through some hideous technical issues (is anyone else having crash problems with High Sierra?), co-host Michael Hainsworth and I spent time discussing the passing of Gord Downie, something that the country is treating like a death in the family. Even if you weren’t a big fan, you were amazed at how many of his songs you knew. And if you were a fan, you got a lesson in Canadian history, politics, and literature all while rocking-out to some of the most poetic music the country has ever exported.
