Seen and Heard in Edmonton

Before we swing into the roundup, a quick reminder that you’re invited to join us in real life at the Edmonton Podcasting Meetup at 1 p.m. on Jan. 29 at Variant Edition. The topic is “Podcast length: Keep it tight or let it run?” Taylor Chadwick of What It Is will be representing the latter viewpoint, and Andrea Beça of That’s So Maven will be speaking in favour of concision. Register here if you’d like to join us (it’s free!).

15 to 30 minutes: Lauren Dary and the aforementioned Andrea talk entrepreneurship with Justine Barber, co-founder of Poppy Barley, on That’s So Maven; Jessica and Katie interview Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan and catch up on the National Women’s Soccer League draft on For Kicks; and Adam Rozenhart finds another Canadian attracted overseas by love, this time in Belgium, on The Expats.

More 15 to 30 minutes: Chris Chang-Yen Phillips shares highlights from the Edmonton Chinatown Conference on Let’s Find Out; Michael Short learns all about moose on Let’s Go Outdoors; and I talk to Nick McQuik of the Quik and Slow Comedy Show on the Seen and Heard in Edmonton podcast.

30 to 45 minutes: There’s That’s So Maven again, this time talking to Janis Galloway of The Publicity Room; Ben and David bring entrepreneurship into their Star Wars roleplaying games on Tales from the Hydian Way; and the Press Gallery podcast from the Edmonton Journal dives into the recent provincial cabinet shuffle.

More 30 to 45 minutes: Colin and Gregg sum up some of the pop culture they’ve been taking in on I Have Some Notes; On Lieben Life Everyday, Lieberson and Zack explore what it means to suffer from depression and how friends and family can help; and on True North Strange and Weird, Patee and Kim dive into the legend of Ogopogo.

And more 30 to 45 minutes: Lots of hockey to talk about, especially with the Oilers doing so well lately. On Hockey Feels, Steven and Rachel marvel at the high scores lately; Your Team Sucks sees it more from the goalies’ point of view; and Downtown Hockey is just really, really excited about the Oilers’ season sweep of the Flames.

45 to 60 minutes: Hear a great set of live music and conversation with Good Nature on GRadio’s Studio Sessions; Elliott Tanti talks business, downtown and marijuana with the owners of Quantum Leaf on Highlevel Showdown; and Drink this Podcast is back with a great conversation about craft beer with Jacob Ulickij.

More 45 to 60: The Witch, Please crew answers listener questions about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them; boy wonder podcaster Cassius Morris visits the Quik and Slow Comedy Show; and Nathan and Adam at the Loyal Company of the River Valley examine comings and goings at FC Edmonton and discuss the Canadian Premier League with the expert on that story.

More than 60 minutes:  On Bollywood is for Lovers, Erin E. Fraser and Matt Bowes look back the highlights of Hindi cinema in the latter half of 2016; then on Trash, Art and the Movies, Erin and co-host Paul Matwychuk go long and deep on their favourite movies in the whole world last year; and, to come full circle, Taylor Chadwick talks podcasting with Andrea Beça, Adam Rozenhart and German Villegas on What It Is.

That’s just what I had time to listen to, and some of these podcasts have published again since I last checked in. You can always find more in previous roundups, on the Northern Content Network, on Guerrilla Radio and on the Edmonton Nerd List‘s media page.
