CKUA’s Hidden Track podcast brings you stories that change the way you hear music. We’ll get to the heart of the song with the musician who wrote it, reflect on a landmark recording with the producer who helped shape it, or examine the legacy of a musical icon with the person who knew them best. Whoever the guest, we'll provide a moment of discovery you won’t soon forget.

In honour of her 80th birthday in February, 2021, CKUA's Hidden Track podcast explores Buffy Sainte-Marie's remarkable artistic journey, featuring fresh insights from Buffy herself. Biographer Andrea Warner walks us through some major milestones in the story of one of music’s most under-appreciated geniuses. Along the way, we’ll hear from a new generation of JUNO Award-winning Indigenous artists influenced by Buffy’s work, including Bear Witness from A Tribe Called Red, Celeigh Cardinal, and Jeremy Dutcher. We’ll also get perspectives from Polaris Music Prize winner Owen Pallett, and Buffy collaborator, Dallas Good of the Sadies. Most exciting, we’ll hear Buffy’s personal reflections, in conversation with CKUA’s Terry David Mulligan. The Hidden Track podcast is presented by Bent Stick Brewing.
