2021/12/09

Join KJ as he takes a full-glam trip to New York City to join in on a Screen Actors Guild panel for Schmigadoon!, hobnobs with other famous people, sees several Broadway productions, and dazzles his daughter Lucy with the full weight of his fame and personality.

2021/11/23

Okay, look, we’ll level with you: sometimes we don’t plan out every minute of our content. Here in Episode 126 we have may actually workshopped some stuff for about a minute. Somehow, we got lost in KJ’s Short Snappers, which ended up covering everything from molecular weight to CB radio codes to strange sport sayings. We did manage to squeeze in useful counsel about credit cards and rewards programs and we ginned up some material on Costco-ing responsibly, but really… there is an abundance, nay, a

125. Foosball Dogs

Shed Dogs ·

2021/11/04

This episode sees the mighty Shed Dogs preparing to break out onto the global stage at last. RJ reveals his quest to make the Canadian Senior Foosball team and represent Canada at the ITSF World Cup next year, while KJ prepares to jet off to the Big Apple on someone else’s dime to help represent Schmigadoon! at the Screen Actors Guild nomination process. We get another round of fun listener mail, and RJ makes a compelling pitch to one-up those Tesla owners by donating to a charity dedicated to

124. Drain Dogs

Shed Dogs ·

2021/10/24

This week’s episode opens with some more excellent listener mail before taking a look at the charitable and not-so-charitable aspects of “We”, the organization which has given the Trudeau family and the Liberal Party fits. By fun contrast, we also have KJ’s fabulous Snappers, and as a bonus, Al Franken. We (and by that we mean us, not the Great White Saviors) have some sad tales of changing driving habits in our demographic, which are then redeemed by a story of great detailing services, which we

123. De boat! De boat!

Shed Dogs ·

2021/10/14

Not only do your Dogs spill the beans about “The White Lotus”, but we also have a good look at what happens when mercury is spilled these days—believe us, it’s not like Mr. Fodor’s Chem 11 class any more. We get to hear about RJ’s and Sue of Burnaby’s new Prius Prime, and in case their happy experience there whets your shopping appetite we also touch upon the coming wave of Chinese-made EVs. Warning: if you dislike spoilers and are planning to watch “The White Lotus”, maybe just accept our

122. Dognostications

Shed Dogs ·

2021/10/03

In the virtual Shed the Dogs anachronistically yet contemporaneously predict the outcome of the 2021 federal election in Canada. What is RJ’s new doctor really trying to say in his introductory letter to his new patients? Spit it out. Now, cough! In an epic ’splainer PJ draws back the curtain on the mighty machinery of the electoral process and shares his new and hard-won insights into why federal elections cost so much. All three Dogs arrive at a hopefully clearer understanding of what is and is

Shed Dogs ·

2021/09/22

In our second of two special episodes with Nancy of New Westminster the dogs look at plastic scale models, Christopher Columbus, Constable Tom, phallic rockets, Nancy’s work for Peter Julian, and shopping for EVs. Hey don’t think this episode is not super special. It is, but our regular effusive blurb writer is otherwise engaged. Come for the Chevy Monza, stay for the Austin Mini conversion!Links: Shed Dogs; plastic models; Christopher Columbus criticism and defence; the Jesuit missions amongst the

Bonus federal election episode

Shed Dogs ·

2021/09/19

Hey everybody, here is our special pre-federal election episode, with Shed Dogs resident political correspondent Griffin of Burnaby. Herein we have 35 solid minutes of insightful political analysis about the debates, who the NDP will partner with, poll accuracy, electoral reform, the Greens, and the media, and we then close with projections for BC and Canada as a whole! Afterwards we follow up the interview with the usual inane drivel, including introducing one of Canada’s newest senior

Shed Dogs ·

2021/09/08

Weddings and standup and ghosts, oh my! Friend of the show Nancy of New Westminster joins us in the Shed for our 120th episode, and it’s a fun one—including ghosts in the attic; officiating weddings, surprising mutual friends; what our forebears did and didn’t talk about and teach, comedy stylings, and a pile of great listener mail. We have viewing and reading recommendations, and find out that life in the arts isn’t all fun and games: there is such a thing as Emergency Acting and KJ tells us about

119. Taste testing at the Chateau Marmite

Shed Dogs ·

2021/08/15

After a long and insistent letter writing campaign from our listening audience (there have been none), the Shed Dogs at last wade into the murky and roiling waters of The Great Marmite Debate. For three years now we’ve avoided this subject (it’s never come up) but at this point we felt we had no choice but to bring the full weight of our journalistic experience (we have none) to helping our faithful listening audience come to grips with the defining question - Marmite: Love it or hate it? We then

Shed Dogs ·

2021/08/02

The Dogs are in situ, in the real Shed, rising to the challenge of more Short Snappers from KJ at the same time as we get to read a bunch of listener mail. We also discuss a very cool recording of KJ’s and Shauna Sylvester’s fathers on the day they fired up a paving company. Plus our pithy observations on e-bikes, mercury, minstrel shows, JW predictions, and a short celebration of the state of health care in the West Kootenays ensue as we whisk you through a potpourri of palaver!

117. Spam and banana sandwich

Shed Dogs ·

2021/07/14

We’ve been treading a little lightly these last 16 months because we know you’ve been dealing with a lot. But now, we’re flush with vaccines and the gloves are off: it’s time to weigh in on the inflammatory question of what is an ideal banana, how do you go about eating it, and can it really fit in your pocket? We know you can do this. We also have an album review, some questions about whether public indecency has gone up, and an update from the dark recesses of KJ’s sleeping mind. On top of all

116. Saucepan Dogs

Shed Dogs ·

2021/06/29

Nancy of New West teams up via Listener Mail with RJ to settle once and for all what a saucepan actually is. That’s just one of several very satisfying emails we get to read here, and the mail leads to an even more satisfying kayaking travelogue shared by Ogre of Nelson. Since all that exercise left us mentally razor sharp, KJ puts the other two Dogs to a stern test and kicks off his new Short Snappers feature. Finally, RJ presents us all with The Best Graphic Explanation of Internal Combustion

115. Capturing reminiscence

Shed Dogs ·

2021/05/30

Normally when we say “greatest idea ever” it’s an ironic setup to a laugh at a silly idea.NOT THIS TIME. KJ has suggested something genuinely exciting, seriously, and here it is: If there’s someone you knowwhose life story or reminiscences you’d love to capture, we can help. We thought mainly of elderly parents or relatives, but who knows? We’d do a video or audio interview, do a basic edit, and then send it to you. We wouldn’t publish it as an episode unless that was something you (and the subject)

2021/05/16

Friend of the show (and Chief Fact Checker) Leigh of Courtenay joins the Dogs this episode as we take a tour through a truly different Oscars show, provide deep coverage on the difference between pots and pans, and revisit The Crown. Fortified by our success with those topics, we move on to looking at just what are Non Fungible Tokens, and then pretend we understand crypto currencies like BitCoin and Dogecoin. Finally, as a palate cleansing delight, we deal with joy, outrage, and comedy as we go

2021/04/28

Most widely known for her 2018 run at becoming Mayor of Vancouver, KJ’s family friend Shauna Sylvester is an award-winning thinker and social analyst. She shares with us her inspiring and insightful thoughts on poverty, the housing crisis, what leadership is and is not, which local leaders are making a difference, and much more. If you’ve ever wanted to clarify your thoughts on what kind of leaders you wantor the kinds of things we can do to improve our collective lot, this is your episode. Take

As you listen to our dynamic and energy packed episodes, it’s easy to assume we are always on the go, never sitting down, constantly pursuing information and entertainment. Here in Episode 112, we reveal our more relaxed side, and share what we’re enjoying on Netflix and YouTube, how to locate programs you’ve heard about, theories on what makes a great action movie, and more. We also get to read great listener feedback on recent episodes. So take a load off, maybe get a favourite beverage, and take

Shed Dogs ·

2021/03/25

In a time traveling episode spanning a full month, the Dogs of the (virtual) Shed go over a lot of thoughtful and entertaining listener mail, ask for help with inventing new words and playing solitaire, and worry about the stab-in-the-back myth. Things are looking up! In the Spring an old dog's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of vaccination—fancy passing a little time waiting with us? Red jack on the black queen!

110. Soundboarding off

Shed Dogs ·

2021/03/16

Honestly, we started out talking about serious stuff like how we’d rule our private islands and what’s been going on with the stock market lately. We talked about finding old letters we sent and received back in the dawn of our time, and how they’re a cool look back into who we were, or maybe still are. It was all going so well, and then somehow we drifted into...pickup trucks and imploding pianos. Now our lives are upside down. Have a listen, but be warned: it could be life changing.Links: Shed

2021/03/03

We received great responses on the episode with MP Mumilaaq Qaqqaq, so we share them here, along with a first exposure for KJ and RJ to “Gone with the Wind”, a tip on how to be notified about email ID theft, and our thoughts on Twitter bans and those pesky half-awake dreams. Nothing here should disturb your days or nights, so tune in and listen on, Garth. Back in the day, toasters could fly!Links: Shed Dogs; Mumilaaq Qaqqaq; Moments with Mumilaaq; Twitter suspensions; Choral Society of Durham
