  1. Smart Satire, Immersive Sound Design and Jon Hamm: StanLand

    31 JUL

    Smart Satire, Immersive Sound Design and Jon Hamm: StanLand

    This week, we’re featuring StanLand — a new five-part audio fiction series that blends fantasy with just the right amount of chaos. Created by Mike Sacks and written with S.G. Wilson, the show drops us into Zyngia: a once-magical kingdom now drowning in vape shops, gated communities, dollar stores, and other signs of late-stage capitalism. At the centre of it all are two unlikely protagonists: a burnt-out podcast host and a painfully average guy from Maryland, who somehow become the land’s last hope. The show features a ridiculously stacked cast including Jon Hamm, Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, and more. StanLand is a Sonar Network production — a network we love here at Lead. This one’s got top-tier sound design, sharp writing, and a clear love for all things weird and well-crafted. If you’re into smart satire and fictional worlds that feel just a little too familiar, StanLand should definitely be on your playlist. Add StanLand to your playlist.

  2. Canada’s Wildest Rumours and Local Legends: Canardian

    24 JUL

    Canada’s Wildest Rumours and Local Legends: Canardian

    This week, we’re featuring Canardian, the podcast that digs up all the hometown rumours, half-true tales, and local legends that make Canadian towns so fun to talk about. Host Kattie Laur has a knack for finding the stories you’d never read on a plaque — the ones that live in Facebook comments, community threads, and whispered “Did you hear about…” conversations. In this episode, Kattie is joined by the one and only Hannah Sung — former MuchMusic VJ and co-founder of Media Girlfriends — for a special live taping at Soundwave Summit 2025. Together, they trade Scarborough stories: old neighbourhood haunts, ever-changing landmarks, and an unexpected rumour about The Weeknd’s teenage years. If you’re into local lore, small-town mysteries, and the messy fun of urban legends, Canardian definitely deserves a spot in your playlist. Add ⁠⁠Canardian to your playlist.

    The Movie Podcast Everyone’s Talking About: I Hate It But I Love It

    This week, we’ve got a guest curator in the house! Caleb—Lead Podcasting producer, social media pro, and haunted bookstore enthusiast—takes over the feed to bring you one of his personal faves: I Hate It But I Love It. If you’ve ever watched a movie and thought, “That was kinda awful… but also incredible?”—this show gets you. Each week, hosts Kat Angus and Jocelyn Geddie (both based in Toronto) pick apart a film they love and hate in equal measure. It’s smart, chaotic, and packed with deep dives, behind-the-scenes facts, weird accents, and original musical numbers. Yes, really. In the episode Caleb’s picked, they take on 1994’s The Crow—a cult classic with confusing lore, campy characters, and a tragic backstory that’s hard to ignore. If you like your movie podcasts unfiltered, funny, and full of pop culture brainworms, I Hate It But I Love It is well worth the add.
