For this episode I interview Nao O'Connor: The two of us originally met when CFRU tabled at the Tech and Trades event at G.C.V.I last year. Nao originally arrived to Guelph from Tokyo Japan as an international exchange student, intitially only planning to stay for that school year. But he fell in love with our city and now calls Guelph home, relocating - and releasing a brand new album with - his musical project Sober Sound Record, and studying at Mohawk College. College is now remote, his co-op placements in limbo, and Nao's choice is not an easy one: while he stays in touch with his family and friends back in Japan, he's aware that he can't return for the foreseeable future, or else he likely won't be allowed to come back to Canada. We talk about playing music, and why we love Guelph, and you'll get to hear the whole new album interspersed throughout the interview.
