Episode 059: Reunions - The Housebound Podcast
It's been a long two years...of releasing absolutely zero episodes. But it has also been five years since we released our very first (what's "COVID-19"?) - crazy! We didn't get around to talking about every kind of reunion in this episode, so here are some Honourable Mentions: Your butt on the...

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...

-
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...

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...
-
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...
-
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…

Episode 053: Facebook Memories [PART 1] - The Housebound Podcast
Social media is a behemoth all to itself, but when we tried to fit just even one platform into the topic of a single episode...the plan fell through. So we'll spend the next couple of episodes discussing the things everyone loves and hates about the world's most controversial social networking...
-
Episode 052: Inside Voices - The Housebound Podcast
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? _____ Do you need music, SFX or stock video for your next project? Visit...

-
Episode 049: The Wellness Movement - The Housebound Podcast
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....

Episode 048: Verbosity - The Housebound Podcast
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,...
-
Episode 047: Brevity - The Housebound Podcast
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...? _____ Do you need music, SFX or stock video for your…

Episode 044: Creativity - Is There Such a Thing as an Original Idea? - The Housebound Podcast
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…

Episode 041: Guilty Pleasure TV Shows and Movies - The Housebound Podcast
We all have tv shows or movies that we watch when we know we really shouldn't, mainly because they're of low production quality and are lacking the content that draw us to our normal go-to's. Chris, Holly, Ashlynn and Greg chat about what that actually means, and - yes - spill the beans on some…

Episode 040: Languages Other Than English (A Conversation We Know Very Little About) - The Housebound Podcast
"Nǐ Hǎo" "Marhabaan" "Sà-wàt-dii" "Bonjour" "Hello" Calculations of the number of official languages that exist in our world sit around 6,500 but totals that include unofficial counts place the number at closer to 7, 100! And to think that nowadays, you could go your whole life without learning a...

Episode 032: Breakfast - The Housebound Podcast
Breakfast has long been hailed as the most important meal of the day. But then you'd expect that the average North American would make sure to eat a substantial meal before heading off to work in the morning, right? WRONG. Well, if "Big Hummus" is to be believed, anyway. There's no real way to…

Episode 031: The Misrepresentation of STEM in Media - The Housebound Podcast
Ever notice how books are much more believable than tv or movies? Like, if you read about a scientist conducting a complex study on the human tongue and how it can technically "smell", you'd be inclined to believe it, but somehow, an actor can't fake a filled coffee cup for 30 seconds? Your...

Episode 027: Couch Co-op vs. Online Multiplayer - The Housebound Podcast
From SNES to SEGA, Xbox to PlayStation, PCs and beyond - every generation has a preference, and everyone has their loyalty. But (at least) one question remains: Is a game best played in-person so you can see the resolve drain from your opponents face when you hit them with that third red shell…

Episode 023: What is "Canadian Cuisine"? - The Housebound Podcast
As Canadians, we're often found to be proud of our country, our accomplishments (medicinal, technological and more), and our governmental progress on topics like trade and law. But when it comes to food - something else we're very passionate about - it seems we don't know as much as we thought.…

Episode 022: Christian Media (and Representation, Therein) - The Housebound Podcast
Media shapes us and our interpretation of the world we live in, even from a very young age. And if that's so true, one would expect that the quality of the media would also help inform our impression of those same life lessons. So why does it seem that - in the Christian art world - that "so-so"…
