Join Greg, Ashlynn, Chris and Holly in discussions about what's on their mind that day. There's not a lot to do when you're housebound, so why not listen in? There's probably something for everyone - after all, we're bound to talk about stuff in our houses eventually.

    The Commercialization of Christmas (SEASON 3 HOLIDAY SPECIAL) - The Housebound Podcast

    The Commercialization of Christmas (SEASON 3 HOLIDAY SPECIAL) - The Housebound Podcast

    Merry Christmas! Recorded prior to the Season 3/series finale, your four favourite podcasting elves sat down to discuss the pros and cons of advertising the winter holidays as an annual event to attend, rather than a celebration to enjoy and be fully present in. Whether it's a notable airline company buying the dream gifts for everyone on board or a beverage company convincing us that we can only really enjoy get-togethers with a glass of their popular product in-hand, Christmas has become more and more of a performance art piece. The weird thing is, we all see it happening, but we buy into it anyway. Why? Well, you can bet that Holly, Greg, Ashlynn and Chris will talk about (if not try to answer) that question.

    Between seasons/episodes, you can always keep in touch with the crew by emailing: thehouseboundpodcast@gmail.com or following along on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. And please review The Housebound Podcast on your favourite streaming service. Thank you.

    Episode 058: Finales Part III (SEASON 3 FINALE) - The Housebound Podcast

    Episode 058: Finales Part III (SEASON 3 FINALE) - The Housebound Podcast

    All good things must come to an end. Oh, and also this podcast. At least for now.

    Join Chris, Holly, Ashlynn and Greg on the final (finale?) send-off of their fledgling show where they talk about books (classic), reminisce on the last three years of episodes and finally try to get the often-referenced but never-heard of dog, Odin - an entire episodes' topic in his own right - to confirm his presence.
    A huge thank-you for indulging us in this adventure. We may be back at some point(s) in the future, so keep connected with us until then on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, or shoot us an e-mail. We love getting mail. Especially when we're Housebound.

    *Don't forget that there's still a holiday episode upcoming...*

    Episode 057: Homes - The Housebound Podcast

    Episode 057: Homes - The Housebound Podcast

    The penultimate episode has arrived, and just in time to fulfill our very loose promise to you of talking about things in our houses (eventually)! On this episode, we talk about garages, bedrooms and good use of the living space - especially when it comes to gaming or recording a podcast.

    Episode 057 was recorded on film, so if you'd like to watch the video version, check out the video option on Spotify or the post online at: [https://fb.watch/gQGS0HAWzj/].

    Episode 056: How Music Moves Us - The Housebound Podcast

    Episode 056: How Music Moves Us - The Housebound Podcast

    There's something in a song that has the power to build us up, tear us down, invite imagination, invoke a memory, transport us to another world or ground us in our own. And that "something" is (usually) the French horn, whether we like to admit it or not. Ashlynn, Chris, Holly and Greg all appreciate music and all enjoy it differently, but what is it that draws us to this art form in the first place, and why do some people seem not to appreciate it at all?

    Episode 055: Conspiracy Theories - The Housebound Podcast

    Episode 055: Conspiracy Theories - The Housebound Podcast

    Extra-Terrestrial experimentation, spyware disguised as what most would assume are just birds, and hypnotic therapies supposedly leading to repressed memories of demonic rituals that were then dubbed the "Satanic Panic" are among the more prominent conspiracy theories of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (which may make you wonder why we didn't touch on any of those topics during this episode - a missed opportunity, to be sure). But whether you believe the COVID-19 vaccines contained microchips or that repeatedly purchasing 10 iced coffees at $1 each during the summer months saves you money in the long run, aren't we all just being willfully ignorant of the truth?
    P.S. JFK is alive, and told us that he hid a secret bonus episode at the end of this one. But that can't be true...

    Episode 054: Facebook Events [PART 2] - The Housebound Podcast

    Episode 054: Facebook Events [PART 2] - The Housebound Podcast

    Last episode was all about memories. Mostly, generally positive memories - or, at least, not negative. This month, Greg takes us on a journey down the more problematic side of the social media's recent history. We discuss controversies, senate hearings and we ask questions about whose jobs it is to protect the public from the actions of big businesses: the consumer or the company?
