Sounds Atlantic
Sounds Atlantic is a podcast heard weekly that is devoted to artists from Atlantic Canada who perform roots and acoustic based music (i.e., traditional, folk, old-time, “Canadiana”/”Americana”, bluegrass, etc.).
Atlantic Canadian artists describe it this way:
Anita Best (trad Newfoundland singer, folk historian and Order of Canada member) refers to this podcast as "the best show for down-home music in all of Canada"...
Wayne Chaulk ("Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellers") says "Ron's got to be good right - he's got Newfoundland blood!)...and,
Newfoundland and Labrador singer-songwriter Matthew Byrne (solo performer and lead singer/bouzouki player for CBC "Q" host Tom Power's band "The Dardanelles") says "If you're a fan of great folk and traditional music, you'll find it here, where Ron is dusting off old gems and showcasing what's new and exciting in East Coast folk!"

Episode 55: Work Work Work: Work and Labour History in Song, Part II
Feature interview with producer Jim Payne who observes: “Songs related to work in all its forms have always comprised a significant portion of the traditional music heritage of Newfoundland and Labrador. This project contributes 28 songs not widely heard or recorded – some traditional, some written for or about specific job action, and some for this collection. (All of them) contribute to the repertoire related to the history of work and labour in this province”.
