The Unknown Studio

And so we come to a special summer episode, featuring content from two of our favourite summer festivals here in Edmonton — the Folk Music Festival and the International Fringe Festival. So I guess that either makes this show a season two postscript, or else a season three prequel. I’ll let you decide. Here’s what […]

Welcome to our Season 2 Season Finale!! Truly, a finale that merits both bolds AND italics.

Well, we’ve done it, Edmonton. We’ve made 50 episodes of this here podcast. Scott and I are pretty excited to celebrate this milestone. So, we basically “invited” back all of our guests and did a big clip show. So if you haven’t listened to all of our episodes yet, you can basically get the gist […]

You might not know this, but Scott and I are fashionable. At least, that’s what CityandDale.com founder and editor Kendall Barber told us. Fashion is one of those words that can be pretty loaded for some people, but Kendall took us through her idea of fashion, and what it means to be fashionable in Edmonton. […]

It’s almost summertime, and you know what that means, don’t you? Air-conditioned movie theatres and hot, buttered popcorn. And if you’ve listened to our show even just once, you’ll know Scott and I are huge movie buffs. So we decided to have “Mondo” Jay Runham on our show to talk about all the crazy, special-effects-laden […]

In our 21st episode this season, Scott and I speak with Laura Collison, producer of CJSR’s Adamant Eve, and Duncan Wojtaszek, political man-about-town. We talk about the forthcoming federal election.

Last week, Scott and I were invited back to Grant MacEwan University by Archie McLean, chair of the school’s journalism program (we did an episode with one of Archie’s classes last year).

We’re well into the last half of our second season, and our twentieth episode has lots of hot juicy Edmonton goodness we’d like to cram directly into your ear holes.

Many of our regularly listeners will know that Scott and I have a tendency to nerd out on the show. We love hyper-geeky topics. But we also know that that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Scott and I are also fans of music. So we decided to bring on a guest from an up-and-coming Edmonton […]

Welcome to our second annual Oscar Extravaganza! Scott and I had so much fun chatting with our guests — Ashley Wiebe and Gregg Beever — that we were loathe to cut a whole lot out of this episode… So it’s pretty long (almost two hours)! But we have some great discussions in there, as well […]
