The Heavy with Andrew and Don Nominated For Outstanding Music Series In the 5th Annual Canadian Podcast Awards
Calgary, AB — July 25, 2022 – The Heavy with Andrew and Don announced today that it has been nominated for PODCAMP TORONTO’s fifth annual CANADIAN PODCAST AWARDS celebrating outstanding podcasts produced by Canadian podcasters, editors, and producers.
The Heavy with Andrew and Don is a rock and metal history podcast started by three brothers from Calgary in 2020. Now preparing for its 3rd season, The Heavy has already covered topics ranging from Black Sabbath, to the faster and louder music of the 1980's, and even modern “pirate” metal.
“Nominees like The Heavy exemplify the wealth of talent we have here in Canada and reflect the unique attitudes, opinions, ideas, values, and creativity of Canadians,” said John Leschinski, Chair of Podcamp Toronto. “We had over 600 entries this year from across the country -- it’s really an incredible achievement to be selected by your peers in the Canadian podcasting community.”
“Working on The Heavy for the last two years has been an incredibly rewarding experience,” said Don Sutherland, Calgary radio personality and podcast co-host. “It started as a fun way to connect with my brothers during the pandemic, but we quickly realized we were tapping into something special. Our show isn't just geared towards hardcore metal fans. It’s the show they can recommend to their friends to introduce them to the genre.”
Winners will be announced online in the fall of 2022, and will receive a 1-year license for Hindenburg’s Journalist Pro courtesy of Hindenburg.
