Josephine Baran is currently the Director of Outward Bound Canada's Training Academy for Outdoor Professionals which is seeking to create access and training opportunities for groups that have been traditionally under-represented in the outdoor industry. She fell in love with Canada's natural spaces when she moved here as a teenager and firmly believes we are the best version of ourselves when we are outdoors. She led the National Community team for Mountain Equipment Co-op which had the largest series of races in Canada and is happiest when she is running the trails with her dogs, paddling at her cabin in Northern Ontario or snowboarding in the Rockies. About the Training Academy The Training Academy has two levels of fully funded programming, that we are able to offer at no cost to our participants; the Foundations and Essentials level. Foundations offers 6 days of workshops with a strong focus on growing outdoor technical skills and building comfort in the outdoors. There is a 5 day outdoor journey option also. It truly is about creating access for groups and communities that have been traditionally under-represented. The Essentials program offers 10 days of workshops that focuses on a broad range of topics like mental health first aid, trauma informed outdoor leadership and more. It also provides four days of technical training at a basecamp workshop and a ten day outdoor journey. This level readies participants to enter the outdoor industry with the skills to work with the diverse and evolving needs of our population.

In the second episode of Aisle Seat, host Alison McGill is joined by Toronto-based photographer Erin Leydon. Erin's career started when she was an 18-year-old photography student at OCAD University when she photographed her first wedding. It's a professional love that's grown over the course of her career and though Erin has expanded into commercial and editorial photography (she's regularly featured in Toronto Life, The Kit, Weddingbells, Cottage Life, and The Lane), weddings remain a cornerstone of her creative portfolio. Listen to this episode to hear the surprising places where Erin finds creative inspiration for her impactful imagery, what makes a wedding magical in her eyes, plans for her own wedding day as Erin is engaged, and why camera-shy people are some of her favourites to work with and produce the best photographic moments. ...

For this week's episode, we called on Dan Kraus, a Senior Conservation Biologist with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, to discuss how cottagers can protect their lakes through the restoration of their shorelines.

We're revisiting our favorite network in our hearts this week and have found some gems from Netflix's selection of Cottage Life UK content. However, we don't visit Netflix without generating a few gripes, and we have A LOT OF THEM because Netflix has unjustly removed Canadian Cottage Life from their offering. Once we get over our feelings about that (and begin our letter writing campaign), we meet our new friends Dick Strawbridge and Willie Fedora over at Cabins in the Wild. This segment includes Dragon themed cabins, live reports from Snowdonia National Park, and everybody's favorite time - Kirstie and Kelsey google some things about pioneer life. Then we move on to House Doctor (how can I help?), where we meet yet another bag of dicks, Grumpy Old Dickie. We learn a lot about rooms with a point of view and our point of view is that this show is a disaster. This episode wraps up with a discussion of the maple syrup grading system, so don't miss that. Happy sugaring season, y'all! Don't forget to check out our new Game of Thrones recap podcast, Our Watch Has Ended, wherever you're listening to this podcast!

As vacations end and we return to our daily routines, it’s important to stay mindful of our mental health and wellbeing. Anne Goodwin’s award-winning new book reveals the life-affirming lessons that time spent in nature, away from technology, give her. The beautiful photos and insightful essays in Come to the Lake: Reflections on a Cottage Life transport the reader to Anne’s 1920s lakeside cottage whose inhabitants abandon technology, social media, and the frantic pressures of modern life to reconnect with nature and reclaim a balanced, rested, and fun lifestyle. Vacationing at lakeside cottages is a long-standing tradition that is quickly fading as cottages are replaced by full-season homes that bury their rich history. In Come to the Lake, Goodwin immortalizes this quaint yet spectacular tradition. Anne is available to discuss: How to get more in touch with nature and to take time out to regenerate your mind and body. Why one needs to take a break from the distractions and burdens of our digital devices. The joy of family vacations and the bonding connections afforded by the great outdoors. How one re-discovers him or herself by reliving the childhood pleasures without the burden of technology. Why and how nature can transform visitors to another time and place. Anne’s intimate, award-winning book concludes with 30 pages of colorful, flavor-filled recipes for meals that she cooks on the lake. The recipes are interspersed with inviting photos of delectable dishes that include: “The Bomb” French Toast Nanny’s Cucumber Salad Purple Cabbage Slaw with Granny Smith Apple Ruth French’s Vidalia Onion Dip Nancy’s Party Steak Platter Lea’s Grilled Bacon-Wrapped, Bourbon-Glazed Shrimp Fresh Lake Pan Fish Corn-dusted and Pan-Fried About Anne Goodwin: Her earlier book won an IPPY (Independent Book Publisher Awards), Stay for Lunch: A Story of Faith and Friendship. She retired from a 30-year career as a marketing and branding consultant. She was a marketing manager for The Parker Pen Company. As a consultant her largest client was U.S. Sprint. She’s a traveler who in just this past year has been to Italy, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands, New York, North Carolina, Colorado and California. She shares family property in North Carolina and Colorado, and splits her time between Beloit, WI and Madison, WI while spending summers on Pleasant Lake.

This week we bring you a gift of pure delight. Two shows full of field trips, lessons learned, and throwbacks to other classic hatewatches. We call this, "Cottage Life, UK". First, we bring you Mary Portus, Secret Shopper, where we visit a bridal shop and eat some coleslaw sandwiches. Kelsey finds out trains exist, Mary Portus' origin story is revealed, Kirstie learns vocabulary and we find ourselves trying to navigate some messily told character stories. Then we transition to Weekend Aristocrats, a show about rich white men and their endless fear of plebs. Kelsey gets to relive the show vicariously through this episode, from peacocks to divorces. Come for the Halloween, stay for the tough conversations about socioeconomic inequality and generational aristocracy. We're members of the Thought Bubble Audio Network.

The red thread of this week's topics is chicken wings, so it's bound to be a good one.

This week we are channeling the full spirit of Li'l Hygge with two shows that are members of Li'l Hygge's Knitting Corner. We start with the Netflix original, Norsemen, which is equal parts Game of Thrones, Monty Python, and poop. We apologize. Then, we cover a Netflix offering from our neighbors to the north, Reno My Reno from the Cottage Life Network. As our second Hatewatch from the Cottage Life Network, Reno My Reno starts off as your typical hatewatch, but quickly devolves into Kirstie and Kelsey doing some live, on-air investigative journalism to learn more about this scrappy network. We delve deep into Pinterest, the Cottage Life Convention, and all four of their featured shows. Kelsey then insults Kirstie's motherland, and we all come out of it about as well as the emasculated home owners at the end of their cottage renos. We are members of the Thought Bubble Audio Network.

Get a group of girls and guys together and for sure each of them will claim the title as to who has the best time on a getaway weekend. Manis, pedis and sangria or Seadoos, fireworks and a case of Amsterdam Pale Rider - what sounds like more fun? Join us this week and hear MEL interview the guys and Chris interview the ladies. This much we know. A girls weekend almost always involves some kind of avocado dip while a guys weekend almost always involves some sort of project!

Everybody has one...a favourite summer song and a book they want to read. This week we're talking music and books - two incredibly important elements for great cottaging. Vital in fact. Whether you're enjoying some uninterrupted solitude in the hammock or putting in a few hours sunbathing on the dock, you're gonna need a good book and some great tunes. Sharing their thoughts with us on this cottage critical topic are award winning author Terry Fallis and boom 97.3 radio host Jeff Spindel.

Hmmmm....let me see. Will that be a glass of wine or a local craft beer? Entertaining outdoors is one of the great pleasures at the cottage. But what to serve? You don't want to be running in and out of the cottage all afternoon. Hear some great tips from our grill master Andy Elder, cottager and sommelier Meghan Sherwin and Heather Mundle from Amsterdam Brewery who shares beer pairing tips and more!

How far is far? Did you know there's a movement afoot. A zeitgeist to escape larger urban centres has taken hold. This week we talk to Christine Sharp about the recreational property market across the country. Where are people buying? How far are they travelling to escape the city? Off grid but online - can it be done? We also chat with Brian Varner who practically crosses the country to escape the city and get to his cottage!

Forget the buying vs. renting debate! Have you heard about cottage hopping? It's a thing. Joining us around Andy's grill this week are Michelle Catchpole, guest and cottage hopper extraordinaire and Jeff Wood, one time cottage owner, now full time cottage guest. We'll talk about what makes a great guest and what makes a great gift for your host or hostess. Here's a hint...Jeff created the Kawarthas Northumberland Butter Tart Tour. 50 stops. He's tried them all.
