    #106 - Testing, Testing, Testing

    My colds are like leap years. I get one a year, and every four years, I get a doozy. This isn't a leap year though – I guess I'm on a Winter Olympic schedule...   This week, I enlisted the help of some AI, both on the writing-side and the recording-side.   I will not be changing to this method for the podcast, this is just to give my voice a rest.   Just for funsies, I also asked Google AI to create a picture of me in a studio, referencing a photo of me that exists online. Check out my Instagram to see the pic: https://www.instagram.com/firesidechatcoc/ I'm going through all of the home remedies, and hope to be back to my old self for next week's show.   I'm still looking for your stories of your home province – please send them to me (audio file or a few paragraphs that I can read) to me at the SAME address you can use, if YOU want to be a part of MY podcast. For that, please send me a recording of you saying, “This podcast is produced by the Fireside Chat Club of Canada”.     Send either of those to: AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca   AND, you can also contribute, by Buying Me A Coffee.

    #105 - Snow Days, Kurt and Elvis

    It's the last day of the Winter Olympics. There's also snow on the ground. And sometimes, I get to stay at home. Wishful memories of when I was young. Today, I look at a few “cooler” Canadian things...   I'm still looking for your stories of your home province – please send them to me (audio file or a few paragraphs that I can read) to me at the SAME address you can use, if YOU want to be a part of MY podcast.

    #104 - The Week In Review

    I've gotten to the point with this podcast where I actually have to check back as to whether I have spoken about some things before. Today is one of those days – and the reason why this week's episode is not called Flag Day. That was episode #69. If I had played the long game, I'd have waited until THIS year, so that I could actually talk about it on the day... Tomorrow is also Family Day, which I have mentioned before – it is a statutory holiday here in Ontario, which means most employees are entitled to the day off with pay. It is a relatively new one, only being established in 2008 – it is observed on the third Monday in February. So, today I'm looking at multiple things. Several events – ranging from the happiest to the saddest. Join me, as I go through what happened in Canada last week.   I'm still looking for your stories of your home province – please send them to me (audio file or a few paragraphs that I can read) to me at the SAME address you can use, if YOU want to be a part of MY podcast. For that, please send me a recording of you saying, “This podcast is produced by the Fireside Chat Club of Canada”.   Send either of those to: AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca   AND, you can also contribute, by Buying Me A Coffee.

    #103 - Postal Codes

    Love it or hate it, Canada Post has a very detailed system to ensure that each letter and parcel that is entrusted to them, gets to the location that it was addressed to. Today, I look at the Postal Code. Why it was designed, and how it does what it needs to do.     I'm still looking for your stories of your home province – please send them to me (audio file or a few paragraphs that I can read) to me at the SAME address you can use, if YOU want to be a part of MY podcast.

    #102 - Catherine O'Hara

    Time is an evil mistress. She ticks by – giving you memories that cause you to pause and smile – but then pulls the rug out from under you, and letting you know that she is finite.   I have done a couple of these before, one for Norman Jewison and one for Donald Sutherland.   Today, I look back at the life of Canada's Comedienne Extraordinaire...Catherine O'Hara.     I'm still looking for your stories of your home province – please send them to me (audio file or a few paragraphs that I can read) to me at the SAME address you can use, if YOU want to be a part of MY podcast.

    #101 - Dates and Bears

    Canada is a young country. There are some around the world where you can pick any date of the year, and see that something significant happened on it. Not so much, up here. This week however, there were several things – and that's what I'm looking at. And one touches on the heaviest subject I have ever spoken about on this podcast. Oh, and I'll also talk about one of the most recognisable animals we have up here: bears. I'm still looking for your stories of your home province – please send them to me (audio file or a few paragraphs that I can read) to me at the SAME address you can use, if YOU want to be a part of MY podcast.
