The Unknown Studio show

The Unknown Studio

Summary: Every two weeks, Adam and Scott expound upon... well, whatever suits them. They feature guests from all over the place, but they tend to focus on what's going on in Edmonton, that strange, silly city/small town rooted in the middle of the Canadian Prairies. Their focus may be local, but they discuss topics from a more generalized perspective. And somehow, they also almost always wind up talking about Star Trek.

 Friends Without Benefits | S06E08 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 57:37

NOTE: we had some recording equipment issues, which resulted in less-than-awesome sound for our interview. We fixed it up as best we could. Our apologies to our guests and you, our listeners. Scott sat down with… well, me. And also Trent Wilkie and Andrea Beça from Friends Without Benefits, a new sketch comedy group we’ve […]

 Pogoing around town | S06E07 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 47:09

If you’ve been in Edmonton’s Downtown or Whyte Avenue areas in the last few months, you’ve might have seen a few branded vehicles cruising around. The branding, in bright orange, says, “Pogo CarShare.” A new form of shared transportation has arrived in the city (and no, we’re not talking about Uber). Scott and I sat down with two […]

 Milkshakes, boys and The Yards | S06E05 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 55:35

Like any good pair of podcasters who were born and raised on the Internet, we started our show off by talking about the new Star Wars trailer. And also, all the derivatives created therefrom. But that’s not why Scott and I spent a few hours in the studio this week. No, the truth is we […]

 Stranger than science fiction with David Gerrold | S06E04 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 56:59

Scott and I are fortunate to be invited to the Pure Spec Festival each year. We’re usually brought in to interview the literary guest of honour.

This episode of the Unknown Studio is brought to you by Waterloo Ford. Malissa Sekela is an artist. She went to school at Guru Digital Arts College, and she loves to draw.

 Adventures in Africa | S05E13 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 57:12

Scott and I were so privileged to have one of our old Gateway pals on the show.

[…]

We had a really great […]

 Projecting live theatre with Make Mine Love | S05E11 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:13:26

Edmonton’s theatre community has staged many original works over the past decade. The Citadel, Edmonton’s premiere theatre, has itself staged many adaptation that have been written here. What is much rarer for the Citadel is a completely original work. But that has changed. To cap off an outstanding year for the Citadel, the theatre is […]

 A ‘Knack’ for local government | S05E10 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:03:29

They say the third time’s a charm. Nothing could be closer to the truth for rookie City Councillor Andrew Knack. Representing Ward 1 in Edmonton, Councillor Knack took two previous runs at representing the ward before he landed a huge win the third time around, just this past October. In this episode of the Unknown […]

Have you ever had a great idea that you just didn’t know what to do with? That you weren’t sure how you were going to get off the ground? How you were going to turn that idea into an actual THING? Well, if you’re in Edmonton on the weekend of May 31, there’s a place […]

 The Hound of the Baconville | S05E08 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:13:27

We begin this latest episode of the show, predictably, with a conversation about the weather. We couldn’t not do it. When things warm up like this in March, you have to say SOMETHING. But weather can’t be the only thing we talk about this episode, and it isn’t. In fact, we talk about food a […]

 The Ill-informed Oscar Show | S05E07 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:11:38

People love talking about movies — whether they’re according-to-Hoyle qualified to or not. And we’re no different. But Scott and I aren’t going to deign to talk movies on our own, oh no! In this episode, we chat Oscars with Mark Jowett, Gregg Beever, and Erin Bourne — variously regulars on the Inglorious Hipsters podcast […]
