Fan-made. Community-built. Deeply Hip. Six shows. Eight years. Over $35,000 raised for causes Gord believed in. The Tragically Hip Podcast Series is where fans come to go deeper — into the music, the memories, and the stories that make The Hip matter.

🎧 Tomorrow we hit the halfway mark! Can you believe it? Song #21 drops, and that means we’re officially halfway through The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown. This week, I’m joined by Shaun from Vancouver, and let me tell you—he brought stories, laughs, and a few unexpected gems to the table.

On May 14, 1996, The Tragically Hip released their fifth full-length album: Trouble at the Henhouse. From the hypnotic hum of Gift Shop to the haunting beauty of Flamenco, this record blurred edges, bent genres, and cemented the band’s place in Canadian rock royalty. What’s your favourite track?
