Anything Goes | The Christopher M. Michaud Podcast
by Christopher M. Michaud
Anything Goes is a long-form conversation podcast hosted by Christopher M. Michaud, musician, journalist, storyteller, and founder of The Canadianist.Part thoughtful conversation, part late-night coffeehouse, part open notebook, Anything Goes moves freely between music, culture, politics, media, memory, creativity, everyday life, and the strange contradictions of modern society. Some episodes are reflective. Some are funny. Some go deep into the state of Canada and the world around us. Others begin with a simple observation and end somewhere completely unexpected.There’s no rigid format, no forced outrage, and no performative shouting. Just intelligent, unfiltered conversation from a host who’s spent a lifetime in music, media, business, and broadcasting.Real talk. Any topic. No limits.

I’ve Made 100 Songs With AI. I Think We’re Asking the Wrong Questions.
After creating roughly 100 finished songs with AI, Christopher M. Michaud has had plenty of time to think about one of the biggest arguments surrounding artificial intelligence and music: who is actually creating?In this podcast editorial, Christopher explores what AI can do extraordinarily well, what it still cannot do, and why creativity may have far more to do with judgment, taste, rejection, arrangement and decision-making than simply producing the raw material.From unfinished songs finally coming to life, to endless machine-generated possibilities, copyright questions, musical influences and the strange experience of becoming the producer of an entire virtual studio, this is a firsthand look at what making music with AI actually feels like from the other side of the screen.The machine can keep generating.The artist still has to know what’s worth keeping.

Coffee, Country, and the Third Provision: What Are We Building Canada For?
A morning coffee, a stop at the Shell station, and a few thoughts about where the United Canadian Centrist Party is going.In this episode, I briefly revisit our first two Foundational Provisions, Canadianism and Democracy Renewed, before getting into the third: The New Canadian Covenant.I also talk about Jay, a young Canadian serving in the military as an engineer. He loves serving his country, but like a lot of Canadians I've met, he's becoming disillusioned about what the future here actually looks like.One of the things I still do is rideshare, and it's turned out to be one of the best ways imaginable to talk to Canadians. You'd probably be surprised by just how many Canadians I've had sitting in the back of my car over the years. I give the actual number in the vlog, and talk a little about what those thousands of conversations have taught me.I close with the books behind these ideas, how they fit together, and the bigger pitch for what we're building with the United Canadian Centrist Party.This one's informal. Coffee, a gas station, and me talking into a camera. I like sharing some of the behind-the-scenes stuff as we're building this. Watch the channel for the produced videos, podcasts and more polished pieces too. Those are coming, but sometimes it's nice just to turn on the camera and talk.Christopher M.
