Seen and Heard in Edmonton

I liked starting with a feature spot so much, I decided to double the pleasure this time around, before getting into the list of other episodes I’ve listened to over the past couple of weeks, organized by length.

The delightful Adam Rozenhart is quite ubiquitous of late. He turns up not only on his own podcast, The Expats, but also on German Villegas’s Modern Manhood Podcast and on a Belgium-based podcast called The Culture Cast. Plus, Adam is keynoting at iMEDIA on March 11 and at PodSummit on May 6. Busy! By the way, you could win a ticket to PodSummit at our Feb. 25 podcasting meetup. Details here.

Speaking of ubiquitous, the What It Is crew has been super-busy, too. I had Taylor Chadwick on Seen and Heard in Edmonton to debate podcast length with Andrea Beça of That’s So Maven. They also published a fascinating panel discussion about small-scale theatre.. And because they were swamped recording a whack of salons for the Chinook Series, they released a mini-episode featuring arts news and a promo for their upcoming live show, which will be during Odd Wednesday at the Sewing Machine Factory on March 1.

Less than 15 minutes: Speaking of live shows, Let’s Find Out is doing one, too, on March 11; Michael Short of Let’s Go Outdoors learns about teaching people how to fish; and Alexander Wong contemplates a post-work society on Udia. 

15 to 30 minutes: The Broadcast features a discussion about indigenous women in politics; Minister Faust talks about writing and teaching with Thomas Wharton on MF Galaxy; and Lorne Rubis and Lynette Turner discuss leadership and failure on Culture Cast.

More 15 to 30 minutes: On The Dip, Shawn Kanungo and Wang Yip discuss how to stop being stuck; Jean Eaton learns about Kids4Cameras and how to help on Practice Management Nuggets; and on Hockey Feels, a whole bunch of Doctor Who fans take in a game in Los Angeles.

30 to 45 minutes: Speaking of Doctor Who, some of those same fans are the voices of Verity!, who gathered in L.A. for Gallifrey One; Pamella Heikel has a lovely chat with her mom on Conscious Conversations; and Tema Frank learns about recession-proofing your business by selling smarter on Frank Reactions.

More 30 to 45 minutes: That’s So Maven has two great conversations about entrepreneurship, one with Claire Theaker-Brown of Flatter:Me Belts and another with Jennifer Grimm of Lux Beauty Boutique; and Scotty Riddell of Soulfront talks business with Marnie Ashcroft of Glow Juicery.

Even more 30 to 45 minutes: The Broadcast goes to election school to learn more about the effort to get more women to run for office; the Press Gallery goes deeper into political trolls, among other topics; and the fellas at Real Life gush about Garth Brooks.

45 to 60 minutes: The Watch-men and Press Start To Join take a look at Lego Batman; and The Why Show examines fake news and what it means to say what you do.

More 45 to 60 minutes: Bollywood is for Lovers explores the oeuvre of Sonam Kapoor; Write Reads launches a Canada Reads rival and reviews a pirate book; and Equinely Inclined takes a look at rodeo.

More than 60 minutes: The crew at I Have Some Notes apply their gimlet eyes to the Oscars; and Trash, Art and Movies compares and contrasts a couple of wartime capers, followed by a pair of movies based on the same story.

More over 60 minutes: The PhDs at Plot Device work up a D&D-esque adventure; the Northern Nerdcast visits with Renaissance Dork and PureSpec producer Brent Jans; and Cups N Cakes talks to Doug Hoyer, composer of many a podcast theme song and a brand new album.
