Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!

Every week, The Canary will be bringing you an innovative podcast for the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.

You’ll get my quick fire round-up of the news in Topple’s Twittering. Then, I’ll be going in on a story or campaign you may have missed, with a very special guest, on Free Flying With... After that, you get to have your say on the week’s talking points in Twitter Chirps Back. And finally, I’ll be bringing you the freshest, most banging political music in Revolutionary Bird Song.

This week I round off Series Two with a look back at some of the campaigns I’ve featured so far. Plus there’s music and chat from a friend of the show and reggae legend Clinton Fearon.

Enjoy!

CanaryPod: Topple Uncaged meets… Clinton Fearon

Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!

Every week, The Canary will be bringing you an innovative podcast for the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.

In a special extended episode, I’m joined by a friend of the show and a reggae icon: Clinton Fearon.

Mr Topple x Clinton Fearon

Clinton has been in the music business for 50 years. He’s enjoyed a career that started when he joined the mythical group The Gladiators all the way back in 1969. A string of acclaimed singles and albums followed, as did Clinton’s work for legends like Lee Scratch Perry. At the end of the 1980s, he departed The Gladiators to form his own collective, The Boogie Brown Band. 12 albums followed, and now he’s back.

Clinton’s brand new album is History Say. To say it is pure ‘Fearon’ doesn’t do it justice. It’s a glorious, intricate mix of styles; grounded in reggae but interspersed with jazz, funky soul, calypso, dub and some rock thrown in for good measure. But as always with Clinton, it’s his wonderful ability to mix serious political and social messages with some good old fashioned fun which really shines. The top class instrumentation, vocal arrangements and production finish off what is perhaps this artist’s seminal work.

So, I caught up with Clinton for the #ToppleUncaged podcast. We discussed History Say, his continued success, the current state of the music and political worlds and modern technology, the latter being something he’s not too keen on!

Enjoy!

Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!

Every week, The Canary will be bringing you an innovative podcast for the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.

I’ve got a two-part treat for you because I had the opportunity to interview one of the most important artists of a generation: Micah Shemaiah. Here’s part one.

Mr Topple x Micah Shemaiah: Part One

Micah’s been one of the most prolific and influential roots reggae artists of recent years. Searingly conscious, musically ingenious and with a stunning back catalogue to boot, he has blazed a trail in terms of message music. Moreover, Micah is a passionate advocate of vinyl, leading the way in promoting this form of music release. But it is perhaps his worldview which is most profound. Micah is a highly skilled orator with an almost unparalleled depth of though in the music industry. He is currently set to release The Forgotten Scrolls, a three-part series of vinyl music.

So, I caught up with him for a two-part special of the #ToppleUncaged podcast. In this, part one, we discussed The Forgotten Scrolls, the music industry, artificial intelligence and technology, the cult of celebrity and more. Part two will be released very soon!

Enjoy!
