Sounds Atlantic is a podcast heard weekly that is devoted to artists from Atlantic Canada who perform roots and acoustic based music (i.e., traditional, folk, old-time, “Canadiana”/”Americana”, bluegrass, etc.).

Atlantic Canadian artists describe it this way:

Anita Best (trad Newfoundland singer, folk historian and Order of Canada member) refers to this podcast as "the best show for down-home music in all of Canada"...

Wayne Chaulk ("Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellers") says "Ron's got to be good right - he's got Newfoundland blood!)...and,

Newfoundland and Labrador singer-songwriter Matthew Byrne (solo performer and lead singer/bouzouki player for CBC "Q" host Tom Power's band "The Dardanelles") says "If you're a fan of great folk and traditional music, you'll find it here, where Ron is dusting off old gems and showcasing what's new and exciting in East Coast folk!"

    Hosted by veteran broadcaster Ron Moores, Sounds Atlantic holds a distinct niche compared to mainstream, broad-focus music podcasts. While mainstream shows prioritize chart-toppers and high-production pop culture commentary, Sounds Atlantic functions primarily as a specialized regional archive and curation show for East Coast Canadian roots, folk, acoustic, and Americana music.
