In this episode, I had a fascinating conversation with long-time Guelph based activist, Byron Murray. We sampled and spoke about the origins of some of his songs that examine police brutality, environmental degradation, developers and corporations. We also recalled his performance at a G20 Legal Defence Fundraiser, the impact of the Punk House and more.
