For those of you wondering what happened to Canary Radio - it’s a bit of a long story but in short, the subscription to the site I was hosting the podcast on expired and took down my videos.

I’ve finally got around to reuploading them- on YouTube this time, and have a few never heard episodes coming soon as well. Check out the new channel. Thanks!

Our first episode lays a foundation for Canary Radio. Here we introduce our hosts and guests, our vision and goals for the podcast, and the beautiful setting...

This is not our typical content, honestly if you are easily offended I would skip this one. NSFW language and content. However, I do want to put this one out and encourage our guests to feel free to talk about whatever they are passionate about on our podcast, and in whatever tone they choose, without having to worry about a lot of censoring and micromanagement.

I personally find this episode one of our funniest and had a really good time talking with Sierra and Kelly, and sincerely thank them for their openness and their time.

Not our most professional episode, but perhaps our funniest and most personal, my coworker Sierra Smith and her girlfriend Kelly Wood discussHow they came to ouray, time spent in the area, why they have stayedWork life, bartending, scheduling, pul...

It’s grandparents day, we are celebrating today, and recording another episode of Canary Radio. My Grandpa Barco would be proud, he loved the radio, comedy and talk shows, he would have made a fantastic host.

This one is with Sierra Smith, and her girlfriend Kelly Wood.

Last week listeners were offered to prove they were the 100th follower to win some prizes. We just hit 115 so I’m not sure! Honestly it was a tourist, I don’t expect them to claim it anytime soon . But, the first comment we get on this thread will get a meal and drink on me at the Full Tilt.

Thanks for listening

This episode features someone very near and dear to me, Stosch W Dembitsky. This man I am proud to call my Uncle, a guy who played an integral part of my childhood; teaching me the importance of rhythm, and an appreciation for the magic of the world.

He was the lead singer and guitarist of Fractalia for over 20 years, but has since grown out of the rock-star party days and settled down with his beautiful family in Montrose, CO.
