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 ...

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...

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 su...

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?

We'll never record another episode using this topical style again, because it's just down-right weird to know someone's thoughts. But Holly has no filter, so we thought we should give it a try. What could go wrong?

Greetings, from tropical Saskatchewan!
It's May, it's nearly summer (officially) and those that haven't travelled over the winter are now considering their options for vacations, trips and other adventurous excursions. Greg, Chris, Holly and Ashlynn all share a fondness for "getting away" from the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day, but some of them are more prone to actually get away, while some are simply content to plan th...

A very "Happy 50th" to the podcast, this week! On this extra-special episode of The Housebound Podcast, Greg, Holly, Ashlynn and Chris spend time talking about the backbone of the show - humour. Why do your hosts spend so much time goofing off and not just talking about the topics at hand? Well, they don't know either. But you can bet they'll talk about it anyway.

Episode 050 was recorded on film, so if you'd like to watch...

Okay. It's been said before, but it bears repeating: “Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.”(J. Standord) Therefore, it only makes sense that “I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health."(Voltaire) and that means that we should choose to take care of our bodies. “But the real secret to lifelong good health is actually the opposite: Let your body take care of you.”(Deepak Chopra) so...okay, wait, t...

When deciding on whether to release a follow-up to Episode 047 as a bonus episode immediately after its posting (following the upload schedule for this season) or to wait and release it midway between that episode and the next (Episode 049) there were several factors to take into consideration, doubtless any of which would be of particular interest to the casual listener. This, then, is that episode in all its 20-minute glory, as w...

A new episode. It's not short, but it's about being short. Not with others though, uh...well, it's about being concise when speaking.
We've already said too much. Side note, though: What do you do when you're listening to these episodes...?

It's The More, Better Season of 'The Housebound Podcast'. Welcome! Greg, Holly, Ashlynn, and Chris are ready for another year of voicing their thoughts, spewing witticisms and just general tom-foolery. Speaking of feedback, they've listened to some of yours and are pumping out extra long episodes in 2022, complete with all four co-hosts in the same room when they record*, so you get a more well-rounded experience listening to them ...

Welcome to 'The Housebound Podcast: The More Better Season'.

For the past two years, Chris, Holly, Ashlynn and Greg have debated, laughed at, deconstructed and...just generally given their uncensored opinions on their interests, lives and the world around them. So why stop now? Exploring a new show format with longer episodes and in-person conversations (instead of over a video chat), now is a perfect time to jump into the...

Happy Holidays! (Did you skip to the description to find out why this episode is marked Explicit? Hint: It's Santa Claus information-related.) We've returned from our holiday break-between-seasons with another holiday-themed episode, this time about how the rest of the world celebrates their version of Christmas (and other winter festivities). And once again, we've got a gift for one of our lucky listeners. No spoilers here, but it...

You made it through season two of The Housebound Podcast! Also, and not to worry you, but Christmas is in 24 days...
We're following up on our first season finale re: finales, and this time we'll be talking about films - the good, the bad and the ugly (the installments, not the movie 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'). Will we be back for another season? Only time (and some consideration given to our schedules over the year-end ...

Everyone wants to be known for their skills or talents or unique takes on a popular topic. But does striving to do so simply oversaturate the market? All modern pop music tells the same story but uses different tunes; all art installations contend with one another to be the most grandiose and least discernable; all time-travel movies explore different ramifications for the events but ask the same questions. At what point does every...

Critical thinking and problem solving is important for young children to learn, since it's how they learn to make their own decisions later on in life. So while they may start with stacking A-B-C blocks, eventually they're able to scan upcoming intersections and merging drivers so they can decerne potential problematic situations. And Chris, Holly, Greg and Ashlynn like to think that Waldo may have helped with that.

In the first episode of 'OUTBOUND', four friends venture out into the world (read "neighbourhood") to discover the mysteries of migration, ancient playground structures and tiny little libraries. So grab your headphones, throw on your walking shoes, and join us for a 30-minute adventure.
