Canadian expat Corey Coates produces his weekly independent music podcast, Five Gallon Sound, out of his home in Piedades de Santa Ana, southwest of San José.
Costa Rica has more in common with Canada than one may think. That’s the belief of Corey Coates, who moved six years ago from a small town outside of Toronto to Piedades de Santa Ana, west of the Costa Rican capital.
“Piedades is a suburb like my hometown in size and in the sense that the community feeling here is very strong,” Coates said.
Between appointments and commutes for his work at a downtown San José language school, Coates has settled into his Costa Rican life and made time to enjoy his longtime hobby. This hobby is formally known as Five Gallon Sound, a small-scale production business named for the amount of bright red paint it once took to paint a Canadian music studio. The focus of Five Gallon Sound is a weekly independent music podcast hosted by Coates and various friends.
