My guest today had an incredible run with Club Med, working on and off from 1982 to 2009. He kicked off his first season as a Bar G.O. at Club Med Paradise Island—and beyond bartending, he also lent his talents to waterskiing, circus, and picnics. I had the pleasure of meeting him during my very first season, and he's here today to clear up a funny bit of confusion I had about him back then! A Florida State University alum with a business background, he even had the chance to hang out with David Lee Roth back in the day. Please welcome the one and only, Tony Love! Tony shares how he first discovered Club Med through a model friend who regularly did photo shoots at the resorts—and from there, takes us on a journey through his many unforgettable seasons. Tony recounts what it was like rubbing elbows with David Lee Roth of Van Halen at Club Med Paradise Island in 1982, as well as the fierce Olympic Day rivalries with a future Chief of Village at St. Lucia in 1992. Tony also reveals the origin story of the iconic “Super G.O.” t-shirt that he created and talks about the unofficial "Youth Hostel" he ran out of his place in Miami, offering a crash pad for any G.O. passing through town. Tony is a master storyteller, so you're in for a real treat.

Mon invitée d'aujourd'hui a un parcours fascinant au Club Med, qui s'étend sur plusieurs décennies. Elle a rejoint l'entreprise en 1992 en tant que costumière et y a travaillé jusqu'en 1994. Vingt-trois ans plus tard, elle est revenue au Club Med, cette fois en tant que responsable des excursions à Columbus Isle en 2017. Sa toute première saison s'est déroulée au Club Med de Sainte-Lucie, où elle a vécu l'expérience inoubliable d'habiller nul autre que le légendaire guitariste de Queen, Sir Brian May, pour le spectacle G.M., sans même savoir qui il était à l'époque ! Elle a étudié la scénographie, la conception de costumes et l'éclairage au Collège Lionel-Groulx, et c'est une simple annonce dans un journal avec un numéro 1-800 qui l'a mise sur cette voie incroyable. Originaire de Joliette, au Québec, nous vous invitons à accueillir chaleureusement Izzy Chartier! Dans cet épisode, nous nous plongeons dans tous les détails du parcours d'Izzy au Club Med - de ses saisons mémorables à ses rencontres avec des célébrités, en passant par la transition de l'animation aux excursions après une pause de vingt-trois ans. Elle nous fait également part de ce qui lui manque le plus au Club Med. Tout cela et bien d'autres choses encore vous attendent - il vous suffit d'appuyer sur le bouton « play »!

My guest today has a fascinating Club Med journey that spans decades. She first joined the company in 1992 as a Costume Designer and worked until 1994. Then, twenty-three years later, she returned to Club Med—this time as an Excursions G.O. at Columbus Isle in 2017. Her very first season was at Club Med St. Lucia, where she had the unforgettable experience of dressing none other than Queen's legendary guitarist, Sir Brian May—for the G.M. show—without even realizing who he was at the time! She studied set design, costume design, and lighting in college, and it was a simple newspaper ad with a 1-800 number that set her on this incredible path. Hailing from Joliette, Quebec, please give a warm welcome to Izzy Chartier! In this episode, we dive into all the details of Izzy's Club Med journey—from her memorable seasons and brushes with celebrities to what it was like transitioning from Animation to Excursions after a twenty-three-year break.

My guest today is a true Club Med veteran, having worked from 1992 to 1995. He started his adventure at Club Med St. Lucia, juggling roles as a Polyvalent Bartender, Landsports G.O., Tennis G.O., and Golf G.O.—basically, if it involved fun, he was your guy. Fun fact: we apparently met during my very first season… and yet, neither of us remembers it. So clearly, it was very memorable! He once described his most romantic moment at Club Med as a quiet evening—alone—on the beach. Yep, just him, the stars and the waves. We'll definitely be unpacking that story and plenty more! So grab your sunblock and your sense of humor—joining us from sunny Arizona, it's Ace! Ace's Club Med adventure took him to incredible locations including Huatulco, Turks and Caicos, Martinique, and Cancun—and he shares some unforgettable stories from each of those seasons. Ace also catches us up on life after Club Med, giving us a glimpse into what he's been up to since moving on. Plus, we dive into a fun round of "Rapid Fire with Ace," where he reveals the three things he misses most about his time with Club Med. Get ready to enjoy some great memories and laughs with a truly charming guest! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

It is Geek Salad's Disney month but this year's topic is more Disney-adjacent. Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe came to be, most of its offerings have been met with praise.

To go over some of these, Geek Salad is back with Episode 254: Wokeanda Forever! (AKA Russell Crowe's Rage Scarf). Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine as they discuss which MCU offerings they feel were snubbed by some members of the fanbase for reasons of a more superficial nature. From Iron Man 3 to Agatha All Along, the gang covers both movies and TV shows. So tune in if for no other reason than to find out what a Russell Crowe Rage Scarf is.

This episode serves as the final project for my Winter 2025 course at the School of Irish Studies, Concordia University in Montreal. The course, IRST 398 – Irish Horror, is led Irish Studies professor and author Dr. Emer O'Toole. For this project, I've reimagined the narrative of the 2018 film Black '47—set during the darkest year of Ireland's Great Famine—by introducing a chilling zombie element. In the original story, an Irish Ranger deserts the British Army and returns home, only to find his family devastated by starvation and ruthless landlords. With the addition of a supernatural twist, this adaptation explores a fresh layer of horror woven into historical tragedy. Voice talents include Kevin Callahan as the Narrator and Captain Pope, Marc Bourcier as Martin Feeney, and Greg Hannah as Inspector Hannah. **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

Salut les saisonniers! Mon invité d'aujourd'hui a travaillé comme instructeur de golf au Club Med de 1991 à 1993. J'ai eu le plaisir de travailler avec lui lors de ma première saison au Club Med Turks et Caicos - et quelle saison inoubliable! Avant de travailler au Club Med, il était un joueur de hockey junior et, depuis 31 ans, il est un professionnel de golf dévoué. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de G.O. de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue (et encore moins qui peuvent le prononcer correctement!), alors souhaitons la bienvenue à Claude Gamache! Claude va vous en mettre plein les yeux! Claude a gardé un souvenir impérissable de son séjour au Club Med, et il nous emmène dans un voyage détaillé à travers toutes ses saisons: Ixtapa, Guadeloupe, Sainte-Lucie, Turks et Caicos et Sandpiper. Il nous fait partager de nombreux souvenirs, nous donnant ainsi un aperçu de ses expériences de l'intérieur. Il nous explique également ce qu'il a fait depuis qu'il a quitté le Club Med. **Le podcast My First Season a toujours été gratuit et sans publicité et peut être téléchargé sur: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora et Listen Notes.

My guest today worked as a Golf Instructor at Club Med from 1991 to 1993 and his first season was at Club Med Ixtapa. I had the pleasure of working with him during my first season at Club Med Turks and Caicos—and what an unforgettable season it was! Before his time at Club Med, Claude was a junior hockey player, and for the past 31 years, he has been a dedicated golf professional. There aren't many G.O.s from Abitibi-Témiscamingue (and even fewer who can pronounce it correctly!), so let's give a warm welcome to Claude Gamache! You're in for a treat! Claude has a vivid memory of his time at Club Med, and he takes us on a detailed journey through all of his seasons—spanning Ixtapa, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos, and Sandpiper. He shares many special memories, giving us an insider's look at his experiences. Plus, he fills us in on what he's been up to since leaving Club Med. Enjoy! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.
