My special guest on this week's Musical Connections podcast is musician and hip-hop producer, Liam Ryan! He is a steady name in the hardcore and hip-hop music community of Newfoundland and Labrador and I bring him on the show to talk about his work in the music scene. Some of his work includes the band Swimming, his hip-hop pseudonym, Cat Cafe, and his label, Barely There Records. Plus, he talks about how he got into playing music, his influences, Swimming's upcoming album, "Old”, and a whole lot more!
