Inés Anaya Returns! – GPYS 314

by on April 11, 2025 at 6:47 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Inés Anaya: “What is the best advice you’ve ever received, and who gave it to you?” That question asked by the one and only Dave Kaufman back in episode 313.

It’s been a few long months since Inés Anaya has graced the Go Plug Yourself airwaves so we thought it was high time she came back on the podcast to let us know how she was doing. So we dipped into the Go Plug Yourself slush fund to get Inés back to Montreal exclusively to record this podcast and catch up.

We talk about movies, underground fires, Russian oligarchs and Inés’ future forays into the behind-the-scenes movie magic world of special effects and props – all at the back of the legendary Grumpy’s Bar on Bishop Street.

Walter J. Lyng and Troy Stark join me for this episode so it’s time to kick back, relax and Go Plug Yourself with Inés Anaya. Enjoy the show!

GPYS 241 – The Return To Grumpy’s!

by on September 30, 2021 at 3:20 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

So the last time we recorded an episode in the back of Grumpy’s bar was probably March 2nd, 2020. It was episode 202 with BOIDS. That was over 570 days ago.

That’s madness.

But all the same it felt tremendously special to be back at the back of Grumpy’s recording a podcast after a year and half of not doing it. So special in fact that we decided we didn’t want to overshadow the importance of the bar with a traditional “guest”, instead calling on none other than Walter J. Lyng to jump on this episode. Walter of course having recorded more episodes in the back of Grumpy’s with me than anyone else.

Also, I was right (well, I was wrong and then I was right) when I said we did an episode at about 1:00 am in the back of Grumpy’s. It was episode 42 with Mo Arora.

Anyhow, sit back, relax and enjoy the sounds of a podcast being recorded at the back of a bar, the way it was always intended.

Gern f. Vlchek – Go Plug Yourself 182

by on May 16, 2019 at 6:39 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Gern f. Vlchek: Who is your favorite doctor?

At one point in this episode, Walter alludes to the idea that Gern might be kind of a modern day Bukowski and it’s not that crazy. Gern’s socialist beliefs seep into so many of his endeavours and he is a modern renaissance man of artistic output. Storyteller, musician, novelist, bartender (there’s an art in bartending, say otherwise and I will fight you), Gern is an iconic fixture of the Montreal arts scene. He’ll be performing with his latest band “The Vlcheks” this Saturday at 5:00 pm as part of this year’s edition of “Porchfest” on the porch in front of 2309 Oxford in NDG.

He’s got one book out that you could buy right now on Amazon “Turn Right, Turn Left, Repeat” and he has two more books in the pipeline for you toy enjoy.

Honestly, this podcast could have easily been a six parter this guy is basically a collector’s edition box set of amazing stories. Do yourself a favor and check out some of his writing.

Scott Andrew Carter and Friends! – GPYS 181

by on May 2, 2019 at 6:00 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that dares to ask the question: What artist do you admire the most?

Scott Andrew Carter is our… let’s call him “main guest” this week because he’s the only one that managed to keep his headset on the entire episode. Sharing the other mic was Vance Michel and Shawn Stenhouse and I’m pretty sure Serag Meletian might jump in for a few quips here and there too. Hence “and Friends”.

A veritable who’s who of Ontario and Quebec based comedians just more or less degenerating into what may as well have been one of our holiday $#!t Shows.

Enjoy!

More Shameless Picks for Best of Montreal (2016)

by on April 12, 2016 at 4:39 pm
Posted In: Blogs, Homepage, Keith, Perspicacious Geek

bom16-Banner-5So last year, Go Plug Yourself was one of the Best Podcasts in Montreal, as voted by you, the loyal listeners. You know what really stuck in our craw? It came in behind Serial. Now, I’m pretty sure that’s not a podcast that is produced in, or even about, Montreal.

Hey, you know what the best Asian food I’ve had this year was? It was Momofuko noodle bar. I might as well just vote that. Oh wait, that’s in Toronto. But it doesn’t matter since apparently people in Montreal don’t care about things that are actually made in Montreal, they just vote for Serial.

But I digress.

Now that I’ve  yelled at you, you should GO HERE and vote for the Best of Montreal 2016.

As always, in order for any of your votes to matter you need to vote in at least 25 categories. So, in the name of complete and total self-interest (and the interest of people who I’m personally interested in seeing succeed) I give you my 25 choices for what you should vote on in this year’s Cult Montreal Best of Montreal.

1) Best Sports Personality – Les Canadiennes de Montreal

That’s right, there’s no category for “Best Sports Team” for some reason, even though we’ve got several. But our CWHL team went to the finals this year and generally kicked ass. They should get some kind of recognition. In the form of a mention on a list in a free newspaper. They should get other recognition too, but this would be a good start.

2) Best Website – www.9to5.cc

I should not need to explain this. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

My Shameless Votes for Best of Montreal

by on March 17, 2015 at 9:34 am
Posted In: Blogs, Homepage, Keith, Perspicacious Geek

Best-of-MTL-2015As you may know, one of our little podcats (Go Plug Yourself) was voted the #3 Podcast in Montreal this year. Walter is pretty adamant about getting number 1 and is threatening to shut the whole thing down if we don’t succeed. We’re not 100% sure what he’s talking about, but the threat seems pretty legitimate. Maybe he’s talking about shutting down the podcast, or maybe the website, or maybe the entire internet? Who knows? Either way, in order for any of your votes to matter you need to vote in at least 25 categories. So, in the name of complete and total self-interest (and the interest of people who I’m personally interested in seeing succeed) I give you my 25 choices for what you should vote on in this year’s Cult Montreal Best of Montreal.

Self-serving silliness go!

Go here and make the following votes because you love me. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
