Episode 9: Back Into the Loving Arms of Meat
For all of you recovering vegetarians out there pecking away at organic, grain-fed, ethically raised chicken - this podcast will help explore some issues that might be on your mind. Issues like “how do I shop at a meat counter without embarrassing myself?” and “Which type of sausage is best for snacking?” and “What does it feel like when a butcher is nailed in the back with a giant pork loin?”
Warning to the faint of ear - I did visit a butcher shop for this one, resulting in some intense sawing and grinding noises. They’re kind of gross.
Episode 8: On The Subject of Rocking…
Finally, a new show! A show that explains what on earth I’ve been doing these past few months. A show that will make you spontaneously bear children. Or perhaps just donate to Girls Rock Camp Vancouver, and let other people bear children so they can go hang out at rock camp.
Half of any meager or large donations to this site will go to Girls Rock Camp Vancouver. You can also donate on their (our) site and none of it will go to Life After Radio. Rock on.
New band "Push" masters the art of rocking at camp.
Episode 7: The Home Jams Mix Tape
Longest show ever!
This one is a music show, something I haven’t done in a while, which is strange, considering how much of my life is taken up by music. For this episode, we bring you a festival of home-recorded gems from Vancouver and not-Vancouver. Pedals, loops, tape hiss, dictaphones, 8-tracks, special voices, digital audio experiements, MIDI, 16 year-old angst, and cats.
Please remember to support your podcaster. Button up top.
See you next month!
Episode 6: Secret Places
For this episode, we went adventuring through the city’s strangest hiding places. Vancouverites have once again proven how weird they are, thanks to me following them around with a microphone. You’ll find treehouses, crow camps, a mysterious woman named Helen Major, and even…..the mall.
Fashion show below!
And now for a shameless plug:
Have you noticed that our donate button has moved? Although I realize this may have been traumatizing for those of you who were set to donate generously to the podcast to ensure our future of up-to-date gear and quality programming, you can now find the handy yellow button on the left sidebar, under the giant microphone. Anything helps!
And now a shameless plug for a friend’s project.
And while I’m on a roll, why don’t I let you know about this awesome camp I’m helping with?

And….alright I’m out.

We take a lot of flack here in Vancouver about our bars closing early. No Fun City, they call us. I say, the joke’s on them for trying to have fun in bars! This episode explores the bustling underbelly of fun in Vancouver, the sort of thing that squishes out of the bottom when the city regulates the s%@t out of the top. Wait, did I use that analogy last show? No, that was a burrito. Phew.
You’ll hear some high-energy City Council meeting clips, sounds of people bashing things on bikes, secret dinners, and hear tales of parties where innocent people are stacked under chairs. And screaming. There is screaming.
Thanks to all the fun people!
P.S. Those Geist one-year subscriptions are still up for grabs! The first 3 folks to donate $20 or more with our handy button up top win!
Also p.s. I’m taking a break for a few weeks to organize a PARTY. Yes, a Life After Radio PARTY. The night of May 9th will be a live taping, which you can attend in person, at the Western Front. It will be amazing. More info to come.
Episode 3: Bear Country
I get really excited about bear stories. There is a rhythm to them, something therapeutic and chant-like, that I find thrilling. As far as personal myths go, these rank pretty high up on the special scale. On this podcast, you’ll find a smattering of personal bear encounters from all over the country. I even phoned my parents in Cleveland, where they have not seen any bears (yet).
You’ll also find one fake bear story, just in time for April Fool’s Day. Guess which one, and you’ll receive a special thing in a box. Email lifeafterradio@gmail.com with your guesses.
Also, in an effort to raise funds to pay my web developer and artist a small stipend, and perhaps even go to the dentist, I will be posting prizes on the website over the next couple of weeks in exchange for donations (see our handy Paypal button up top).
And have fun listening. This one’s packed full of stories. Like a burrito where you tried to put too much stuff in, and its all kind of spilling down your face as you eat it. Like that.
Episode 2: Fermenters
Here it is, a second show, a bit like the first show, but shorter, squishier, and mouldier. Apologies for my terrible butchering of the word “keffir.”
fermenters
This one’s particularly good for toodling around in the kitchen.
Thanks so much to Graeme Worthy (faithful web developer), Aili Meutzner (art whiz), Kat Siddle (research and library hound) and the voices of Heather Johnstone, Emerson Belland, Caroline Walker, Charlotte Hewson, Soula Poulos, and whoever happened to be in the room.
Listen here.
Here are some things you can do while listening:
-fold all of the clothes in your dresser
-make an extravagant soup
-play a game of chess
-place your head in your hands and sit quietly
-snuggle with a loved one/pet/book
