Movin’ Air Podcast is moving on
January 2022 (up-date)
Well, Hello People!
Just a heads up this site is no longer running on a regular basis. We had blast bringing you some super cool life stories and thank all involved, but have gone onto other creative adventures. You can still access all of these fantastic stories, so dig in and have fun.

Be good to each other out there, weird times!
Thanks again!

Pete is a self-proclaimed seat-of-the-pants kinda guy filled with wanderlust, measuring happiness day-to-day, moment-by-moment. His life story builds from playing in bands, traveling Europe, to settling down in a country setting, surrounded by family and what its like to be a young-ish Grandpa. We also stir up some painful memories of childhood trauma, self-medicating and the difficulties of over-coming strained relationships and the search for understanding and acceptance. 
This episode Shawn talks about growing up an only child in a household filled with music and learning to play the blues from a very early age. We discover what it takes to become a blues player based out of Canada under the mentorship of local legend, Mel Brown, and making the decision to move to Mississippi to chase his dreams and travel the world. Shawn also discussed the importance of being a good father and husband and always making the time for these aspects of his life. 
This particular interview was one of about 10 “test” conversations done using a digital recorder, before the Movin’ Air crew got serious and bought some fancy-schmacy gear for better sound quality. These original conversations were done to test the waters and see if Pat “had it” or not, and if we could find interesting stories with guests. The jury is still out on if Pat is any good, but we really loved Mitch’s talk and asked to use it in an official episode. He agreed.
Fellow podcast host, Simon Head, has had an interesting life. His fascination with sound engineering and musicianship led him to years on the road with his own bands, almost dying in a van crash, and eventually to touring with international punk band, SUM 41. Armed with the DIY attitude, Simon crisscrossed the country with his traveling recording studio creating music all along the way. We also discuss our shared heartbreak with having a brother that committed suicide and the fall out from that, as well as his deep love and gratitude for his wife and children. 
Leigh gives us an insight into being an Irish immigrant and how bullying caused him to feel like a social outcast from a very young age, and how he turned those feelings into his current career as an artist of Outsider Art. The discussion extends into what it’s like to chase the dream of being an artist full-time while being a father and husband. 
Woody explains his early love of the road and being an L.D. (Lighting Director) for local 80s glam rock band, Syre, and how he toured with major label bands. We also dig into Woody’s struggle with drugs and alcoholism, the stress it put on his family, and how he overcame these addictions to actually become an addiction counselor, and valedictorian of his class. The circle of life.
