Because Democracy… Is Something You Do!
Well, good day and hel-looooo, Kits!
I hope that all of yours’ 2023s have gotten off to a kickass start.
As the first month of the year comes to a close, I’ve been a rather busy Beaver and Mr. Grizzly has most definitely not be hibernating.
If you watch our video content via our True North Eager Beaver Media YouTube page, you may have noticed that we’ve updated our pre-show bumper.
We are working on new merch for you.
We are making new friends and appearing on other shows.
We have some neat interviews lined up (if we can ever find time to record them).
We’ve even been able to get back to putting out an audio-exclusive episode under our flagship format, and this while hosting our fourth live PubCast event.
But the best news of all is that the dream of making The Not Quite Daily Beaver Morning Show a daily thing is coming true!!
We’re soft-launching the format this week (to get the bugs out), but starting officially on Monday, February 6th, we will become The Daily Beaver Morning Show, typically with longer format Beaver Bites episodes on Mondays and Fridays, our usual Wednesday Just a Nibble episode, and (sometimes pre-recorded) “Morsels” (often focused one just one or two topics) on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Our first (soft-launch) Daily Beaver Morning Show episode was our Monday Morning Beaver Bite.
Over the course of the episode we talk about:
– the womp-womp-ish first anniversary of Loudmouthapalooza;
– the importance of skilled trades;
– the Chaos Party of Canada’s Scott Aitchison becoming a disappointment;
– the start of The Arctic Winter Games;
– the Prime Minister in Québec City for the National Day of Remembrance and Action Against Islamophobia (and a notable absence);
– the passing of former Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion;
– the upcoming pilot project to decriminalize possession of small amounts of drugs in British Columbia;
– the death of Viola Léger (aka La Sagouine), a great loss for French Canadian, and particularly Acadian, culture;
– a potentially delayed next COVID booster, and;
– we have our popular Canadians Who Make Us Proud segment.
To catch Sticky Advertisements, episode 45 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, all you need to do is: click right here for the podcast version, or if you prefer video from our True North Eager Beaver Media YouTube channel, click below.
We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the changes and join us as often as you can, because we love your company and cherish the gift of your attention.
Be kind to, and gentle with, yourself,
Your Eager Beaver
