Sean and Todd are back in the studio, and the gear is already misbehaving. There’s a mystery mic problem, a shed with a brand new roof, and a topic board that has reached number 70 and gone straight over their heads.

Then it’s time for Pass or Go, with listener picks that neither host has heard before. There are surprises from across the pond, a few songs that get a hard pass, and one track that has both hosts grinning.

Press play, find out who takes the cake, and see if Todd ever finishes that door.

Todd is still away, so the Fretless party keeps rolling. Sean is joined again by Duane and Dan from Mixtapes From Hell and by Tracy, the voice behind Voicesbytracy.

Sean has a mystery track for the panel that you won’t find anywhere else. There’s more Pass or Go, with songs from far across the ocean and a band from much closer to home. One of the songs has a Montreal connection with a story behind it, and the band’s lineup has everybody’s attention. Plus, a few news items from the music world and the friends who keep the show going.

Press play, see who gets the last laugh, and find out whether Todd is ever going to hear the end of it.

Todd is out this week, so Sean goes “fretless” for a night of music, movies and mayhem. Joining him are Duane and Dan from Mixtapes From Hell, plus returning guest Tracy, the voice behind Voicesbytracy.

There’s a game of Pass or Go, a movie soundtrack moment nobody saw coming, and a voice-acting challenge that gets out of hand fast. Plus, one band from Winnipeg that you really should be hearing.

Press play and find out why Todd is going to hear about this for a long time.

Takeaways:

• We kick off Part One with Dan and Duane from Mixtapes From Hell and Tracy joining us, setting a playful, music-first vibe that mixes jokes, banter, and genuine friendship.
• I explain the show's 'Pass or Go' game where we play obscure tracks and decide whether to celebrate them or mercilessly roast them.
• We dive into voice acting with Tracy sharing practical advice about authenticity, script reads, and treating each line like an acting choice, not just audio.
• I highlight how we champion under-the-radar music — from Winnipeg's Moontan to other indie bands — and why finding new music now requires proactive searching.
• We have a hilarious live improv bit where everyone says 'let's get it on' in different characters, demonstrating how voice, intent, and timing change meaning.
• I reflect on career inspiration: Tracy went full-time into voice acting later in life, showing there's no fixed timeline for creative success.
• We also geek out over movie and music culture — from High Fidelity quotes and Jack Black's covers to discussions about discovering music without MTV or radio help.
