This Is My First Pandemic

This Is Surreal
Recorded right after flying home to Canada from a family vacation in Mazatlan, Mexico, just as COVID-19 rules shifted from "recommended" to mandatory quarantine. Chris describes the disorienting last-minute scramble to get home before borders and flights shut down, and adjusting to 14 days of...

New Podcast - Who Dis?
Chris returns after a long summer break and reflects on how hard it is to get back into a recording rhythm after time off. He shares an idea he's been developing for a membership community for people who create (or struggle to keep creating) podcasts — inspired by Justin Jackson's "Mega Maker"...
-
Social Media Jealousy
An unscripted, stream-of-consciousness episode about how Instagram has shifted, for Chris, from a fun photo-sharing app into something that stirs up jealousy and comparison — especially when it's local friends and family posting rather than distant acquaintances. He talks candidly about wrestling...
-
Way Too Villainiously
After watching Incredibles 2 with his kids, Chris riffs on a storytelling pattern he keeps noticing in kids' movies and shows: a trusted ally is revealed late in the story to be the villain, with little to no earlier hint. He wonders whether that trope subtly teaches kids that even good people...
-
This is a Test of the Goodstuff Broadcasting System
A short technical-test episode, published to confirm some backend changes to the Good Stuff podcast network were working correctly. Along the way, Chris mentions that Apple's WWDC keynote didn't include a new MacBook Pro (to his disappointment), introduces a new hockey podcast on the network…

Preshowing December, Acrobat, and U2
Recorded ahead of the Montreal U2 shows, this is a conversation with Chris's wife Sue about what to expect from the night's pre-show acts, December and Acrobat. Sue talks candidly about not considering herself a "hardcore" U2 fan despite genuinely loving the band, the social anxiety of meeting...
-
Discussing the Digital Divide
Another conversation with Sue, recorded in Montreal, about the divide between online friendships and in-person ("meat space") relationships. Chris talks openly about why he's historically felt hesitant to bring up his podcasting and online fan communities with people outside that world, and the…

Podcast Editing and Consulting Work Is My Meat and Potatoes
Chris explains that podcast editing and production consulting now make up about half his business at Lemon Productions, and that he'd like to grow it further. He offers hourly consulting sessions — covering audio quality, content, and general production feedback — bookable through a link in the...

Moving from Todoist to TickTick
Chris explains why he switched his to-do list app from Todoist to TickTick after about two years: mostly the same features but cheaper. He also highlights a few things he prefers about TickTick — a calendar view for dragging and rescheduling recurring tasks, "repeat X time after completion"...
-
Quitting Achievement Unlocked and Fortnite
After missing a couple of scheduled episodes, Chris talks about pushing through the "you broke your streak, why bother" mental spiral and recording anyway. Most of the episode is a rundown of Fortnite for parents unfamiliar with it: its origins as a free, multi-platform response to…
more -
Tax Time So Let's Talk TV
Recorded on Canadian tax filing day, Chris runs through what he and his family have been watching lately: Survivor, the second season of Westworld, This Is Us, David Letterman's Netflix interview show "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction" (that month featuring Jay-Z), and the documentary series...
