Welcome to another themed episode drawing upon the advice and counsel of various guests on a single topic. This week's topic: Acting careers – stage and screen. Four multi-talented and experienced performers share with Marvin and Fred their own career stories and tips for navigating the tumultuous rapids of an acting career. Amy Shostak is a talented theatre artist whose improv skills in performance and directing have taken her to festivals and live special events all around the world. She also performs in the television series Tiny Plastic Men and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s radio series The Irrelevant Show. Amy describes why many professionals could benefit from improv workshops to learn about and sharpen their own abilities in collaborative work situations. Brothers Dann and Dave Florek join Marvin and Fred in Los Angeles to discuss the similarities and differences in technique required for performing on stage and on screen. Valuable tips emerge! Check their track records on imdb.com. The Florek Brothers’ lists of engagements in film and television alone read like the history of screen media over the last 40 years! Not many performers celebrate 25 years in the business at the ripe old age of 31! Vancouver-based actor and musician Travis Turner describes his formal training at the Langara College Film Arts program and his decision to form a company to benefit more from the “business” side of show business.

Improviser Amy Shostak joins us to talk nude spas, unsubscribing from emails, and office Christmas parties.

That is the question that the "Mayor's Taskforce on Image and Reputation," as it was called eons ago, is asking. The group has evolved into the Make Something Edmonton Taskforce led by Amy Shostak, Chris LaBossiere and Todd Babiak — and supported by a pile of engaged citizens. They're launching their initiative tonight at the Avenue Theatre, and people are really eager to know exactly what this is all about. Scott and I are eager too, so we sat down with Todd and Amy last week to find out what the deal is This episode also includes a follow-up conversation with Lesley Vaage — one of Lindsey MacNeill's supporters on the Gillian's Just Right Cinecoup Coup. I chatted with Lesley to find out how things are going in the Cinecoup competition so far. And Scott supplies you all with a dramatic — VERY dramatic reading! Apologies for the sound quality on this episode. Scott sounds faint, and that was my error. Next time he'll be back, with voice modulation and explosions in the background... WHICH HE WILL DROWN OUT WITH HIS BOOMING VOICE. Let us know what you think in the comments! Image by Wade Kelly on Flickr. Used under Creative Commons License.

If you've lived in Canada for even just a few months, you've probably heard someone say something like, "Canada is hockey." And while I heartily believe that's true, there's something else that Canada is that I think gets overlooked by the mainstream public: Canada is videogames. With over 200 game studios in the country, we're a pretty prolific nation when it comes to producing top-notch games. Look no further than BioWare's recent release of Mass Effect 3 for clear evidence of that. That's the reason Scott and I asked Ramin Ostad and Matt Dykstra — two hosts from UserCreatedContent, Edmonton's videogame podcast — to join us on this episode of the Unknown Studio to talk about the industry, trends in gaming, and the forthcoming Canadian Videogame Awards.
