With Shane Nelken. This week on Sneaky Dragon, musician and great fellow, Shane Nelken dropped by to talk with David and Ian about his upcoming album which he’s currently funding through Indie-Go-Go (you can find it here). They had so much fun, they didn’t want to stop the show! There was lots to talk about this week – almost too many to list – but David once again proves he is the worst at introducing guests in the history of podcasting; Ian and Shane talk/complain/reminisce about working at the CBC where Shane does a very funny advice show; the show gets very, very Canadian (sorry); Shane describes his crowdfunding campaign; he tells Ian and Dave about meeting Sneaky Dragon theme song composers Belle and Sebastian; about playing on the David Letterman show; about several of his commercial ventures; and just how he got Morgan Freeman to do the voiceover for his Indie-Go-Go video; the mention of Morgan Freeman gives Dave the opportunity to be fantastically wrong about something…again; and Shane closes the show with a beautiful solo song.
And we prove that if you want to fund a project, don’t come on Sneaky Dragon. Just kidding! There’s NO better way to raise money! Here’s that link again: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/237843?c=home
Thanks for listening!

The episode on Stitcher is only one minute long. Is this a cruel joke you’re playing on me, that I just don’t get? Furthermore, Ian, Dave, and guests have many times alluded to objects on shelves in the room where Sneaky Dragon is recorded. I am very intrigued to see these wondrous sounding objects. I would greatly appreciate a post of a few pictures. Lastly, I would like to know if the Sneaky Dragon mascot has a name? If not, this could be a great listener contest.
Hmmm…I’ve always referred to our mascot as Sneaky D, but a contest would be a great idea, which I will now steal from you completely uncredited.
I also noticed the bizarre 1 minute long version of the show on Stitcher – perhaps they are just giving out samples of the show now like the ladies with the little tables at Costco.
We will post some pictures of the nerd shelves soon for all the curious folks out there.
What’s the song you guys used at the end? It sounds very good- Shane Nelken was a great guest!
Shane was a great guest. The song at the end of the show was “On the Table” by AC Newman from his album The Slow Wonder. It is a particular favourite of mine and you can hear our guest Shane playing that great piano part in the song. I believe I complimented Shane on his playing; that’s why I added the song at the end.
