Love these visits to Canada to interview the marketing genius - guru - wizard of all things podcasting:  Matt Cundill, host of the 'Sound Off Podcast' - the Podcast about Broadcast. We cover the whole story about podcasting, from marketing cycles, finding your audience, discoverability (my takeaway from this episode!) and why producing, hosting and marketing your podcast needs to be a top priority  to succeed. This one time radio program director who now heads up his company the 'Sound Off Media Company' discusses radio and AI, why the riches are in 'niches' and as always - finding the right audience. And as if he's not busy enough helping future podcasters become great podcasters, he's also putting together two new podcasts you gotta hear - 'Podcast Super Friends' and 'You May Also Like', which celebrates curiosity and inquisition. Oh, have I got questions for our next podcast episode. Join us!

Oh Canada! Today it's Calgary time baby, as I sit in the studio with voiceover pro Paul Boucher where we discuss his storied voice career, along with a few great tips for veteran and newbie voice talent. This bilingual voice talent (French, English) has built his reputation from the early days of the internet industry (starting in 1997!) with a big list of clients in both languages and in long form narration.  With nods to some of his favorite voice teachers: Maurice Tobias, Anne Ganguzza, The VO Roadshow and Scott Parkin, listen in as Paul describes his unique studio journey; how collaborating with others behind the mic can benefit everyone; what you can do about that oncoming train known as AI; blogging and website building; and how understanding the business of your chosen field is one of the most important keys to voiceover success.  Besides studio stories, we also talk about his love of cycling, photography and more. Join us!

Toronto is the place this week as I sit in with Josie Dye, morning DJ at Indie88 and talk about all things radio! From show content to concert festivals, Josie talks about the hustle and grit it takes to not only get into the radio business but staying in the business as well. This natural storyteller is honest and forthright about everything from career train wrecks to broadcast success stories (with a special nod to one of our fave radio consultant Steve Reynolds of Reynolds Group Radio); how content and the business of impact and storytelling matter in radio; and all about her brand new podcast 'Cynthia and Josie's Unmentionables'. We also talk about her television work with Oh So Cosmo and CMT Canada; her genuine love of all music festivals (and that would also include water sports - listen in and find out!); those very early beginnings in Canadian radio; juggling motherhood and work, plus her involvement with a very special charity Socks 4 the Streets, which helps the homeless in Canada.  Bring along your love of radio and join us!

Serious with a mix of humor, Dave shares a great discussion for aspiring (and veteran) voice pros about what it really  takes to make it in the voiceover business, how to find your own voice, those questions about unions and agents; how to hustle in a booming voiceover market and why focus and hard work bring true success to any voiceover story. Listen in as we discuss every hilarious detail about how he created his (faux) leopard-jacket-wearing character, Nigel Woodcock (watch the video at his studio website!)

It’s Christmas time in Bedford Falls and the guys are present in black and white. Joe begins with his affinity for the film and it gets a little heated when Mike asks “Is this really a Christmas movie?” They discuss the heart and soul within the movie, the convincing performance from Lionel Barrymore and an unanimous MVP selection. The Recast has returned to end the podcast and the guys have some great selections to re-do this film 76 years later…Hot-Dog!

Episode Eighteen. Every time a bell rings, a podcast episode streams. In this episode, the guys discuss the 'wonderful life' of George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life". After a week off, the guys share what they had been watching in the previous two weeks during the Weekly Reel Podcast ritual. Then, they share their first impressions and overall thoughts on "It's A Wonderful Life". Next, the guys debate about whether or not "It's A Wonderful Life" should be considered a Christmas movie. They also share a personal event in their lives that would've altered the course of their respective futures. Finally, the guys hand out their Weekly Reel Awards for the film.
