Canada doesn't really have a 'star system' like our neighbours to the south. In fact, many of our celebrities have had to leave the country to find the work and recognition they deserve. Well, THE CANADIAN STAR SYSTEM aims to change that. Each week, host Steve Patterson (CBC Radio's The Debaters) and his producer/co-host Diana Frances (Canadian Screen Award winning comedy writer) interview a well-known Canadian celebrity who then shines the spotlight on someone THEY think should also be a star. That person joins the conversation and we learn why they are worthy of being a household name... in households other than their own.
Hawksley Workman & Jeremiah Brown
This week, Steve and Diana chat with none other than one of Canada’s most eclectic and charming musicians, Hawksley Workman! Hawksley talks about his 2020 album, ‘Less Rage More Tears,’ why he loves the smaller arts scene in Peterborough where he now lives and why we should incorporate more comedians into rock shows.Hawksley shines the spotlight on his new Peterborough friend and Monday morning walk buddy, Jeremiah Brown! Jeremiah tells his incredible story of going from sitting on his parent’s couch watching the Olympics to winning an Olympic medal for rowing in just four years and how that changed his life. Plus, he spills the beans on the incredibly unique way he met Hawksley by selling a microphone on Craigslist.To learn more about Hawksley Workman, check out his website https://hawksleyworkman.com/ or on Twitter @HawksleyWorkman and Instagram @HawksleyWorkman To learn more about Jeremiah Brown, check out his website at: www.the4yearolympian.com or on Twitter @jeremiahfbrown and Instagram @the4yearolympianHOST: Steve Patterson (Twitter: @patterballs)PRODUCER & CO-HOST: Diana Frances (Twitter @dianafrancesvan)TECHNICAL PRODUCER: Donovan Deschner from Fracture A Femur Productions (www.fractureafemur.com)MUSIC BY: Imagine Sound Studios (www.imaginesoundstudios.com) Hosted on Acast.
