The first batch of episodes launched on May 25, 2021 and focused on the Capilano University jazz program, plus my existing professional network.

The show had weekly episodes for about one year from fall 2021 to fall 2022, as I learned to produce better episodes. After focusing down the frequency, recording began to happen only in-person in Metro Vancouver.

The podcast has enjoyed the sponsorship of local music businesses for the majority of its life. Thank you, we wouldn't have it any other way!
