Beats, Booty Shakes, and Banter: Getting Down and Dirty with the Music Man! Eric Alper

Music Junkies Podcast

Have you ever wondered about the transformative power of music? Join me as I sit down with Eric Alper, a major figure in the Canadian entertainment industry, for an engaging and thought-provoking journey through the world of music and beyond. We kick off with Eric's personal playlist, each song a life lesson. He gives us a rare glimpse into the music industry's inner workings and talks about his passion for running, including his distinctive approach to completing a half marathon at Disney World.
We navigate the murky waters of discrimination prevalent in the entertainment industry, discussing sexism, racism, and homophobia. Listen as we delve into the culture of fear that stifles individuals from expressing themselves freely. Our mutual love for various bands leads us back in time to our teenage years, reminiscing about how music shaped our formative experiences. We transition into the present day, discussing the shifting landscape of the music industry and Eric's work with Tears for Fears and his show on Sirius XM, "At That, Eric Alper."
In the final stretch of our conversation, we reflect on the pandemic's impact on live performances and the music industry at large. Eric dreams out loud about his vision of bringing back the iconic music channel, Much Music. It's a nostalgic journey, a testament to the power of music that touches on the past, present, and future. So, tune in for a memorable dialogue on music, culture, and life. We're excited to have you with us for this musical ride.
