  • Witchpolice is a music archive and weekly musician interview podcast first established in 2009. Beginning as a blog dedicated to archiving the music history of Winnipeg, it evolved into a podcast that is also broadcast on Sunday nights at midnight on 101.5 UMFM. It is currently hosted by Winnipeg journalist Sam Thompson, as well as a rotating team that occasionally organise the program, including Jon Askholm, Rob Crooks, Elliott Walsh, Ryan Sanders and Dwayne Larson. The hosts discuss a wide range of music, commonly that of the local guest they feature in every installment. They often discuss the guest's work and allow them to showcase their latest projects as live performances. On their 100th episode, they featured Chris Hannah, the lead singer from Propagandhi. The episode was significant for Thompson as he said Propagandhi was an influential band that constantly came up when interviewing other local artists. The podcast has also featured such notable Manitoba artists as Pip Skid, Del Barber, Duotang, Fred Penner, iskwē, Royal Canoe, Ridley Bent, Romi Mayes, Leonard Sumner, Kelly Fraser, and hundreds of smaller, independent musicians. It has also occasionally featured musicians from other parts of Canada and overseas who are visiting Winnipeg on tour, including Ziggy Marley, Luciano, The Slackers, Julie and the Wrong Guys, and more. In 2015, at the local Winnipeg bar The Handsome Daughter, after three years and 150 episodes, Witchpolice held its first live podcast in front of an audience. Subsequent live events were held in the ensuing years at the same venue as well as at Winnipeg's historic Park Theatre and Torque Brewing In 2019, it was nominated for a Canadian Podcast Award (en)
