OPINION | Canadian TV needs to get weird again | CBC Arts
In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

One Last Time With Feelings
Podcast Episode · Doctor Who: Verity! · August 5 · 1h 54m

The last Verity! Podcast has been recorded and this two hour episode with all the Verities will drop Wednesday morning.
Fun to watch, less fun to wade through flooding outside when a fire alarm got tripped.
Christopher Burgess@dubbayoo.bsky.social · 2mo agoHeck of a storm over this way. #yeg #oliver #itsrainingsideways
And $100 from me to @zoesanimalrescue.bsky.social If you can afford to give to charity, please do so.
Christopher Burgess@dubbayoo.bsky.social · 2mo agoWithin minutes of receiving the Alberta Energy Rebate, the $100 was donated to Zoe's Animal Rescue Society. They do great work, and it's where we got our Tegan and Nyssa. I would encourage all Albertans who can afford to do so to put that money into their charity of choice. www.zoesanimalrescue.org
I miss doing my podcast Start the Music! I have an idea for a follow up (still music with interviews) but have no idea where to get those first few guests that’ll lead to bigger ones. :(
I have gone for a walk in the sun, I have coffee, I have people watched while listening to part of an audiobook borrowed from the library. I am rocking this self-care thing.
Episode 253: Is It a Good Omelette and Bad Gravy? With @xanister.bsky.social! open.spotify.com/episode/5h7t...
I haven’t been on a podcast in a while! We had therapy hour, talked about kink, and debated the handsomeness of Alexander Skarsgard. Oh yeah, and reviewed Pillion. Thanks for having me @slamcampbell.bsky.social and @sourcitruslady.bsky.social
Is It Camp?! A Podcast@isitcamppod.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis week, with special guest @xanister.bsky.social!
Life may be unpredictable but at least I always have a spreadsheet to work through. Right now at 31% (but it’s missing a whole bunch of actual plays and Good Time Society episodes I’ve already watched)
Character inspiration comes from fun places. This time it’s a Vampire: The Masquerade character based on the dragon that protects the princess from the horrible knight. Tzimisce fun times.

It’s been so long but I finally have a new filmography to work through. (I try to go through and watch everything an actor has in their filmography). This one is proper horror content, monsters, and creature features.

Lynda Sayce plays a piece of lute music that was recently discovered in an archival document at the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Since the handwritten lute tablature was folded and reused as scrap paper, it's problaby the first time in 400 years that this music is heard.
Me just now: I kinda wish I had a D&D podcast. Also me: no, I already produce two other podcasts. Also also me: it would be fun… Reality: You just want to talk about D&D with friends! You don’t need a podcast to do that. Harsh but fair.

After 24 years, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) has become a space of empowerment for me. Before that, it was a game of misunderstandings that I played just to make other people happy. Seeing myself…

We (Lynne, Kat & Tansy) just finished recording, so the episode may be a bit late going out tomorrow. However! It’s a great episode, well worth the wait and off-air we came up with a new game to play on a future Extra! ^K
If you’re a Verity! Patron, you already have access to the new episode @lynnemthomas.com and @xanister.bsky.social recorded discussing “Lux” a short time ago!
