Ep63: A conversation with musician Geoff Younghusband

Geoff Younghusband has been around the Canadian/Newfoundland music scenes for well over three decades now. He's played with some of the most well-known Newfoundland alternative bands including Potbelly, Fur Packed Action, and these days with Jigger. Even if you don't know him from the bands, if you are in Europe, you might recognize the TV show that he's done the sound editing for Hudson and Rex.

In this conversation with musician Johnny Nolan and I, Geoff relives some of the stories from his past and we discuss some of the lost greats of the Newfoundland music scene: Fred Gamberg and Johnny Fisher.

With permission we also have the following tracks:

  1. Employee of the Month, Fur Packed Action
  2. Silver Bullet, Jigger
  3. Gatekeeper, Darshiva

It started with late nights, glue sticks, and a university newspaper / radio.

That early obsession with how words reach people took me from student journalism to a career spanning the globe. I’ve gone from designing newspapers and having radio shows to building systems at BioWare (yes, the RPG legends), managing data at MySQL, and now leading tech at Supermetrics in Helsinki.

But at my core, I’m still that geek who believes writing is just code for the human mind.

While a computer chip executes code exactly, your imagination runs stories based on your own unique wiring. Tales under the cat tree is where we run those programs together. Whether we're exploring the fiction that inspires us or the tech that defines us, my goal is to spark your imagination and—most importantly—never make you go "meh."

Words create the worlds we live in. Let's explore them.
