Hi everyone, here's a bonus episode for this week. We were invited to be on a panel talking about movie podcasting in our hometown of Edmonton! Show notes: Northwestfest (http://northwestfest.ca), the latest incarnation of the longest-running documentary film festival in Canada, invited us on to talk about the world of movie podcasts. Paul Matwychuk (@myelbow), Erin's co-host on Trash, Art and the Movies, who you'll remember from Episode 23 on DEVDAS and DEV.D (https://audioboom.com/posts/4821508-episode-23-devdas-vs-dev-d-with-paul-matwychuk) hosted the panel, and J.P. Fournier of The Movie Jerks (@moviejerks) also spoke with us. He was on our now-legendary episode on the JISM films (https://audioboom.com/posts/5013228-episode-26-a-double-dose-of-jism-with-the-movie-jerks) with his co-host Shawn Gramiak. Topics we spoke on included the shift from traditional criticism to podcasting, broadcasting Edmonton out to the world, how to start a podcast and do research, and more! #Edmonton #Canada #podcast #podcasting #Bollywood #Bollywoodpodcast #BollywoodisforLovers #TheMovieJerks #TrashArtandtheMovies

Meet Nick McQuik, the always hustling comic who co-hosts The Quik and Slow Comedy Show, a long-running podcast featuring "comedians interviewing comedians about comedy in a basement." Nick started podcasting in part to learn more about his craft, a good trick I may have adopted myself a time or two. He also jumped in with both feet by buying a lot of equipment, so he kind of had to make it happen after that. I suspect I am too old and square for some of the comedy on Nick's show, which he co-hosts with Aaron Maslow and a cast of other artists, but I admire the work that goes into producing a weekly podcast while forging a full-time career in comedy. That requires a tremendous amount of discipline and entrepreneurial spirit, which we talk about a fair bit in this episode. You'll also hear about the connections between Nick's stage show and the podcast; his philosophy of giving to get; Quik and Slow's most downloaded episode; the thriving nature of Edmonton's comedy scene; and some interesting ways to use social media to build a fan base.  This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. Nick made a couple of podcast recommendations: The Movie Jerks, where JP Fournier and Shawn Gramiak talk about movies they love to hate (on which Nick made his podcast debut); Dave Rae's The Devil's Advocate, where Dave debates a guest on any topic and always wins.  He also shouted out to some local businesses he admires:  Big Rig Distillery Flat Out Apparel Tasty Tom's High Level Diner He also mentioned a bunch of non-podcast comedy pursuits, including Chew On This, an Internet comedy show; The Debutantes and their biweekly Odd Wednesday sketch comedy show; and Rigby Muldoon: Bad Situation, a movie currently in post-production.  Find The Quik and Slow Comedy show on iTunes, Stitcher and TuneIn, as well as on Twitter and Facebook. Nick himself is @nickmcquik on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.  This week's Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Taproot Edmonton, a source of curiosity-driven stories about the city, cultivated by the community. In this episode, you'll hear about Taproot's most recent stories, which tackle the way we see pedestrian safety in this city, and the consequences of that approach. Read the stories, and if you'd like to put more such work into the world, join us at taprootedmonton.ca.    

Meet Dave Rae, the comic, sketch comedian and improviser who takes any side of any debate and always wins on The Devil's Advocate. I first learned of Dave and his podcast through the Northern Content Network, a collection of primarily (but not exclusively) comedian-produced podcasts gathered by Dan Clarke and Dan Taylor. The Devil's Advocate quickly caught my attention as a smart, funny exercise that was unlike anything else I had heard. Dave has made me laugh out loud so many times. He did it a lot during this episode, too. He started in standup when he moved to Edmonton because that was easiest as a guy who didn't know anybody yet and wanted to get into comedy. But he has since found a way to do sketch comedy, too, through The Debutantes, which puts on a sketch show called Odd Wednesday every other week at the Sewing Machine Factory. In this episode, you'll hear about Edmonton's comedy scene, how it interacts with podcasting, the parallels between Dave's approach and pro wrestling, the formidable Stan Ostrowski, sketch vs standup, and much more. We also talk about one of his favourite episodes and mine, a debate with Dan Taylor about the merits of having living relatives. This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. Dave made these recommendations:  The Movie Jerks with JP Fournier and Shawn Gramiak; 30 Minute Week with Dan Taylor and Ben Proulx; The Quik and Slow Comedy Show with Nick McQuik and Aaron Maslow; The Worst Podcast Ever with Alex Fortin and Dan Clarke. Follow The Debutantes at @debssketch on Twitter or on Facebook. You can see some of their sketches on YouTube, as well. Find Dave on Twitter @thedaverae or on Facebook. This episode of Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Taproot Edmonton, which commissions curiosity-driven stories about the city, cultivated by the community. The British website journalism.co.uk recently interviewed Taproot co-founder Mack Male. Read the story and listen to the podcast, which is excerpted in this episode.
