Back in 2003, Ryan Malcolm became a familiar face across Canada as the first-ever winner of Canadian Idol. After a whirlwind year that included performing with artists like Elton John and Kelly Clarkson, Ryan returned to his roots just west of Kingston. Over the past 20 years, he’s worn many hats: musician, restaurant manager, Buddy Holly onstage, and now, real estate agent.

In this episode, recorded in mid-April 2025 from his home in Prince Edward County, Ryan reflects on life after Idol, the twists and turns of his career, and what he's been up to lately. We also touch on his connection to the area — including his father, John Malcolm, who was a guest on this podcast back in 2016.

Our theme music is “Stasis Oasis”, by Tim Aylesworth
