Fully & Completely with Greg & Jamie is not your typical music podcast. Ordinary was never an option given its ingredients.
First of all, the podcast examines one of the most engaging and enigmatic bands in Canadian history, The Tragically Hip. But even more than that, those hosts.
Greg & Jamie are not only passionate fans of the band and the legacy the Hip carved out, but they are also fans of music in general. From the craft and construct of a song to the interpretation and feel of the lyrics and music, these two leave no stone unturned when it comes to breaking down the discography of the Hip.
Each episode, the co-hosts mine their collective memories for stories that help provide context for the music they are unpacking. They explore the cultural and pop-culture landscape to give their audience—the passionate and outspoken Fully & Completists—a true sense of the time and place that the music was first created and consumed.
This holistic approach, coupled with a track-by-track breakdown, forms the body of the show, but the glue that holds it all together is the chemistry, charm and humour that LeGros and Dew bring to the table.
Ultimately, if you're a Tragically Hip super-fan, this show is essential. But even if you're just beginning your journey to Hip-Headom then there is no better place to start than downloading and listening to Fully & Completely with Greg & Jamie.
