Graventown
A kindness, positivity, mental health and music-magic-based informal conversational town hall created, authored, and produced by award winning Canadian singer songwriter and ex-journalist Matty McKechnie (known musically as Graven). Whether he has acclaimed or interesting pals, comedians, musicians or artists to interview - or even if it's just a solo-yolo convo that he "sends into the universe", Matty would always want you to know that you - whoever and wherever you are - are ALWAYS welcome in Graventown.

Episode 103: Interview w/ Toronto Mike
From the approved desk files of Lorne Honickman and from the top shelf blue plate specials at Palma Pasta, I was very happy to welcome Toronto Mike to the Graventown. I'm happy to be in the FOTM (Friends Of Toronto Mike'd) Universe. He's actually an incredibly and prolifically busy human being with very little windows outside of his own work, as he not only runs and produces his own popular podcast called Toronto Mike'd (that has already surpassed WTF w Marc Maron into the 1800 episode space), but produces many others - so he was a hard man to pin down. Nevertheless, we made it work and had a wondrous and whimsical chat about a swath of topics (as we always do) and I even got Mike to open up about his beginnings into the art of the interview. We yakked about Marc Maron, Joel Plaskett, Alan Doyle, Strombo, TSN's Dave Hodge, and so much more. Enjoy. (Please note; due to technical problems in the Graventown studio, Mike was kind enough to record this over zoom from the swanky Toronto Mike'd Corporate Studios - I'm still waiting for the bill. Kidding, Mike. Love you.)
