- Samhälle och kultur
Welcome to an official podcast of Henley Point Productions hosted by Steven Christianson. In this program we always ask - What Came Before? – What Was Behind? – What Connects the Dots Between A and Z? Steven frequently podcasts about his passions, which include music, film, global affairs and football. This program celebrates those conversations that unravel what came before, what lies behind, and what happened between the stuff that news programs don't often talk about.

Who and Where are Your Podcast Listeners?
New data from Edison Research suggest that audio consumption--that is, transmitted and broadcast audio, like podcasts and radio--might be determined by where a person lives.
The company's newest report suggests a difference in listenership for both podcasts and radio depending on whether the listener is predominantly urban, suburban or rural. And some of the results are surprising.
How do such data impact our approaches to podcast growth, or listener engagement or monetization?
This episode of Before, Behind and Between talks about these issues and how podcasters and radio producers alike might be affected.

This episode shares three World Radio Minutes, each produced by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

A Taste of Mariachi from Bucerias, Mexico
Any visit to Mexico seems incomplete without a Mariachi experience. It's one of those musical and visual spectacles that seems synonymous with one of the essences of Mexico. In fact, Mariachi has soared in popularity, as evidenced by the annual International Mariachi Festival in Guadalajara which attracts upwards of 500 Mariachi ensembles.
Our recent visit to Jalisco and Nayarit afforded us the opportunity to enjoy a superb Mariachi group performing to an enthusiastic and somewhat rowdy crowd (the audio of which remains in this podcast).
Enjoy this episode of Before, Behind and Between in which we feature Mariachi--a bit of our winter vacation in beautiful Mexico.

The Intersection of Sport, Rock Stars and Politicians
Political leadership contenders seem to grabbing a fair amount of news coverage lately. But what’s often missing in the mix when we look at the contender is the authenticity, the coziness, not only the talent to interact with just about anyone, but the appearance that they really do seem to enjoy it. Well, I say, don’t listen to political strategists, take it from the experts on communicating meaningfully with tens of thousands of people in one night: put on the jersey, declare your love, and ask for requests. On a serious note, have a bit of fun as we consider the essentials of leadership.
This episode of Before Behind and Between provides some friendly advice to those entering, or hopefully to ascend in, the world of politics and electoral representation. This program is a production of Henley Point.

You Know What's Interesting about Toronto's 2023 Mayoral By-election?
The 2023 by-election for Mayor of the City of Toronto featured a whopping 102 candidates (plus a dog). Not only was the by-election triggered by the sudden, unexpected resignation of a well-liked Mayor, the candidates included former and current councillors, a former Member of Parliament, a former chief of police, a former deputy mayor, and a who's who of previously unknown men and women whose promotional budgets for signs and billboards, in some instances, raised at least a few eyebrows. The City is experiencing a litany of urban challenges, and candidates offered an even greater number of solutions (of which many were highly questionable in their policy efficacy). All that aside, there was one shining light in the 2023 by-election for Mayor of Toronto: the City's motto, "Diversity Our Strength", was evident and ever-resonant right up to the final hours of the campaign. There were a lot a "firsts" in this election, and perhaps the silver lining is how Torontonians celebrated the very diversity expressed and reflected Toronto's motto.
