Have some fun “re-casting” movies with REPODCASTING
It’s tough to come up with a more succinct description of Repodcasting than that contained in its impossibly catchy theme song:
Have you ever watched a movie and wondered why,
They cast that woman, or that guy?
Well, here’s our chance to give it a try,
We’re Repodcasting.
The show is hosted by two cousins: Lucia Juliao, who lives in Calgary, and Janet Debrito, who lives in Toronto. Every month, they pick a movie that just didn’t seem to have the right people on screen, and suggest some better choices.
As an added twist, they also find a role for Tony Danza in every film the consider. Why not? As Juliao says, it’s fun and silly, and a wonderful way to pass the time. They’ve known each other their whole lives, so their chemistry is great — no need to recast this podcast!
Let’s learn a little more about the Calgary cousin behind Repodcasting:
What is your podcast about and why did you choose that topic?
A. We recast famous movies with our dream casts. We wanted to do this because it is fun, and because there are many movies with bad casting.
What podcasts do you listen to and why?
A. R U Talkin’ REM Re: Me?, Threedom, Comedy Bang! Bang!, This American Life. They are super funny or have great storytelling.
Why do you think people enjoy podcasts?
A. Podcasts are an interesting medium in that they’re not highly regulated. Anyone can start a podcast about whatever they want (pretty much). I love listening to them while driving, doing laundry, cooking, etc. You can listen to them while you do other (often tedious) things.
Q. Do you have any unusual hobbies or talents that may surprise your listeners?
I can sing every word to Yakko’s World.
If you could have any guest on your show, who would you ask and why?
A. Ryan Gosling because he’s a nice, Canadian boy.
What has been your favourite episode so far and why?
A. My favourite episode is 3: The Girl on the Train, (click link to listen) because it is so fun to listen to.

When disaster strikes, our ability to manage it depends a lot on the lessons we’ve learned from past incidents and experts in the field. EPIC Podcast brings those lessons to life.
EPIC stands for Emergency Preparedness in Canada, and that’s what the podcast delivers: current, relevant, Canadian content regarding disasters and their management.
Dr. Josh Bezanson and Grayson Cockett interview industry leaders, explore emerging research, and share practical tools of the trade. Their aim is to transfer knowledge to other emergency management professionals, but it’s pretty interesting stuff to regular folks, too. We all have a role in preventing bad things from happening, or mitigating the damage when they do happen.
Bezanson and Cockett are clearly passionate about what they do, and they have the qualifications to back up what they say. They are both members of Canada Task Force 2, the disaster response team based in Alberta. Bezanson is an emergency medicine resident who also has a journalism degree, and Cockett has a master’s degree in disaster and emergency management.
The podcast usually comes out about once a month, but they’re planning a blitz for Emergency Preparedness Week starting May 6. So be prepared for that by subscribing!
In the meantime, let’s learn a little more about EPIC:
Q. What will people get out of listening to your podcast?
A. They’ll get to hear subject matter experts, disaster scholars, and industry leaders discuss ideas, trends, and recent developments in the field of disaster management from a uniquely Canadian perspective.
Q. If you could have any guest on your show, who would you want?
A. Enrico Quarantelli, a pioneer in disaster sociology.
Q. How did you and your co-host meet?
A. Through our various first-responder endeavours.
Q. Write your own epitaph — what would it say?
A. He died the way he lived… in a state of total disaster!
Q. What has been your favourite episode and why?
A. Our episode commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the Halifax explosion was particularly rewarding, as it truly was a formative event, and has so many rich lessons which are still relevant today.

Podcasting has provided two different but complementary avenues of self-expression for Terence C. Gannon.
On The WorkNotWork Show, he satisfies his curiosity by interviewing people “those who have turned their passion into their profession, or have a job that we may envy them having or wonder how they managed to get.”
On Not There Yet, which was nominated for a Canadian Podcast Award this year, he shares his own observations in a series of “short essays podcasted from the second decade of the 21st century,” as his tagline says. “It’s totally eclectic — current events, history, personal opinion, popular culture.”
Both shows are beautifully produced, graced with a meticulous attention to detail and Gannon’s mellifluous voice. One can’t help but be transported with every new episode.
Let’s learn a little more about the man behind the mic:
Q. What will people get out of listening to your podcast?
A. Above all on The WorkNotWork Show, we hope to interest our audience in the subject of the interview and perhaps inspire them to pursue their own career dreams. Our hope for Not There Yet is that listeners will know and/or learn something they didn’t know before.
Q. If you could have any guest on your show, who would you want?
A. Tiger Woods. But my angle would be to title the episode “Eldrick T. Woods: Pro Golfer” and really focus on the arc of his entire life rather than gush about his golf prowess. Any regrets? What else might have you done? Did you ever felt your Dad pushed you too hard? Do you ever hate the game? That kind of thing.
Q.What podcasts do you listen to?
A. To be honest, not many, but only for lack of time. When traveling, my wife and I listen to Serial and Revisionist History.
Q. Do you have any unusual hobbies or talents?
A. I wish.
Q.Write your own epitaph — what would it say?
A. Nothing by Chance
Q.What has been your favourite episode and why?
A. For The WorkNotWork Show, Episode 009 with Robert ‘Scratch’ Mitchell. The first few minutes of that episode are the best I have produced. The words, music and pacing all just seem to come together. It always brings a lump to my throat.
For Not There Yet, my favourite is usually the most recent one, but if I had to pick one I’d say X-15. It’s a subject I find fascinating and it proved quite popular.
After that, I think Mustang, given that it was the most experimental in nature and touched on all my favourite subjects.
