If you've watched TV in Canada in the last 20 years you have either heard or seen Orin Isaacs. In addition to being one, if not the biggest music directors in broadcast here, he is an incredibly talented musician who has been in the game for almost his entire life.  Orin has an absolutely incredible backstory and great insight into the music industry. Now running Swing Low Productions in Toronto, ON I was lucky enough to have him join me for not only a great interview, but great conversation.    https://www.swinglow.ca/
