About this listen

 This week, the Haggis Shack smells like peach pie and nostalgia as Chaz and Schatz welcome the sister of The Professor himself, Nancy Peart Burkholder, along with the host of the Bubba Bash fellow Rush lifer Cathy Rankin.What follows is one of the most heartfelt, hilarious, and goosebump-raising conversations we’ve ever had. Nancy opens up the family scrapbook and lets us peek inside the Peart household — the laughter, the mischief, and the moments that made Neil more than a legend… they made him Neil.We hear about the big brother who drummed on his sister's playpen, the teen who read everything in sight, and the man who sent postcards home from every corner of the world — still grounded by love for his family and the rhythm that started around Judy Peart’s kitchen table.Nancy’s stories range from the hilarious (yes, Neil had a wicked sense of humor) to the humbling — memories of a brother who was thoughtful, generous, and beautifully human beneath the myth. She talks about the birth of Peart Family Events, how grief became purpose, and how the upcoming Legacy in Bronze project will literally set Neil’s spirit in stone.Meanwhile, Cathy shares her own journey — from Rush fan to recording artist — and the story behind her tribute song for Neil, a collaboration that turned loss into light. There’s laughter, love, and a few tears, but most of all, there’s that unmistakable hum of the spirit of radio running through it all.⚡ In This Episode🏡 Growing up Peart — Nancy’s front-row seat to her brother’s curiosity, humor, and drive.🍰 Judy Peart’s legendary cooking and kindness, the heartbeat of the Peart home.🌍 Postcards from the road — and the quiet way Neil stayed connected to home.💖 The creation of Peart Family Events and how community became family.🪙 The Legacy in Bronze project — giving fans a place to stand and remember.🎶 Cathy Rankin’s tribute song — healing through melody, with help from her family and friends.⛳ Teeing off at the Pure Golf Tournament — where charity meets air drumming - all hacks need apply.If you love Rush, if you love stories, and if you’ve ever felt that Neil’s words reached straight into your heart — this one’s for you.So pour a Scotch, raise a glass to her big brother, and join us as we celebrate family, music, and the rhythm that never fades.THIS WEEK'S SONGThe wheel playfully denies Nancy the opportunity to call her shot and instead as we end up listening to The Larger Bowl off 2007's Snakes & Arrows.
