Скачать или смотреть Episode 144: Neon Dreams & Goth Disco: Jaymes Buckman on Building Hot Apollo

In this episode, Zach Randles-Friedman sits down with Jaymes Buckman, the frontman of Toronto-based band Hot Apollo, for a wide-ranging conversation about music, identity, creativity, and the electric rush of live performance.

Jaymes opens up about his lifelong need to perform, his early struggles with singing, and how stubborn determination—and a deep love of storytelling—helped him find his voice. The conversation explores Hot Apollo’s flamboyant, 80s-inspired sound, shaped by artists like Duran Duran, Blondie, and glam-rock icon T. Rex.

From songwriting and collaboration to queer visibility, stage presence, and future dreams of touring the U.S., this episode is a candid look at what it means to chase art with intention—while staying playful, weird, and unapologetically yourself.
