Pod the North is in 'The Daily Good' today, a MUST READ newsletter from The Good Trade about slow living, self care and sustainability. Their content always helps keep me grounded and hopeful. I'm honoured that my Canadian podcast recos are in such good company! join.thegoodtrade.com/d1b6351b/

A reminder to anyone that's signed the Equality in Audio Pact that you signed the Equality in Audio Pact.

Podcast conference season is here and set to run through to the beginning of the summer. With active dismantling of DEI and a rise in fascism around the world, it's a good time to remember that podcasting is ripe grounds for both social good AND growing destructive rhetoric. 1/2

🚨Advertising Opportunity🚨 The Rover is about to launch a 6-episode investigative podcast into Quebec’s housing crisis. It is an unprecedented look at the crisis using a Serial/Slowburn style storytelling and I believe one of our journalists may have literally chased a cabinet minister (mic in hand).

With Ontario and Federal elections on deck this year, is a "Podcast Election" coming to Canada too? I talked to some of Canadas most notable political podcasters to get their insights on what’s next, and how Canadian podcasters, big and small, can prepare. podthenorth.substack.com/p/hosting-po...

The last thing Canadians want is to be Americans. Every time Trump utters anything about Canada, he only makes Canadians more resolute and anti-American. I have little doubt it’s similar in other countries that are feeling Trump’s wrath.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

I'm looking for current running, non-cis-man led, English speaking podcasts from Manitoba, Quebec, NWT, Yukon, and Nunavut. DROP YOUR LINKS! 🙏

Lastly: Learn how your microphone works, play with it, and practice mic technique. I've noticed that Academics, in particular, have a tendency to really let their voice trail off. Why? Idk! Try changing the closeness of your mic, adjusting gain, and listening back to the dynamics of your voice.

@ijeomaoluo.bsky.social just finished this and knowing it came out before things got ✨️worse✨️ I'm so curious if anything has changed for you around the approach for abolitionists in just a year since launch. It's so hard not gravitate toward revenge on oppressors rn. 🫠 Wonderful read, thank you!

One of the best things I ever learned in podcasting and ultimately in life is that you can just end a sentence.

A thread of under appreciated good things in life. I'll go first: The first sip of Dr. Pepper.

What is AI is going to do for podcasts? In the latest issue of Pod the North, I talked to Amanda Cupido about the nuances of Generative AI, and the cultural impact of AI Voice Generation in the global podcast and media industries. ⬇️ podthenorth.substack.com/p/impact-gen...

@DougFord, the $200 is nice and all but I'm planning a wedding for this summer so could you round that up to $10K? I proooomise I'll vote for u. 🤞

Yesterday I came across this post. I scrolled to the end of the carousel only to find an immense challenge for people who feel under threat by Trump and everything Trump-adjacent. How is anyone who sees the writing on the wall supposed to lead with respect? Luckily, I'd already heard it in action..

2012 ➡️ 2025. I really just never stopped talking I guess.

Whoops I may have tried to radicalize some youths on a podcast 😬

"It’s crucial that Canada has a healthy tech ecosystem and that Canadians are able to build and innovate." We couldn't agree more, Pod the North. Thanks for naming The BetaKit Podcast one of the seven podcasts every Canadian should subscribe to in 2025.
