Small Talk, Long Talk

21/10/2020

There's something I MUST do before episodes can continue. If you've been tuning in for this bumpy journey I love you and I hate to put what we have on break.
But you should also know that I wouldn't do this without good reason, I love these conversations and there's a ton I want to still share but I cannot in good conscience work on episodes until I overcome this pending problem.

Be back soon ❤

The long talk question we ended with is certainly one of my favourites. "If your child wanted to go into the arts, how would you respond?"

Wrapped up my first official Ark with .darren, the artistic director of yesterday with the final part to a 4 part series.

02/10/2020

Did some searching. I THINK I found what I was looking for. Podcast picks up again this Monday 10AM EST. Finishing up this Ark with .darren what a wild ride.

17/09/2020

Excuses, excuses, excuses. No ppdcast release this week.

Sorry everyone you know I hate em' but taking some much needed me time this week.

Be back soon (unless I get lost in the woods)

Now it's your turn! It's sometimes super hard to lead into the next convo when meeting someone.

You know Darren O'Donnell from our first two parts of this ark. Listen to part 3 in our new release to explore the small talk we had on exploring the arts.

What questions would you ask him?

03/09/2020

Havveee you heard abt All The S*x I've Ever Had?

Not my s*x life, dear God no, i'm talking about the performance that .darren conceived and directed. Learn all about in last episode (DoD Story Pt2) link in bio.

Meet Darren O'Donnell (.darren ). We really came out swinging for Episode 1 of Season 2! Darren has his own Wiki page - that makes him officially famous right?

Full Circle - Tune in to where it all started S1E1. My very first and honoured guest (showing off his Karate skills in )

This is the end of our re-releases. New Episodes for Season 2 start next week!

03/08/2020

Fun Fact: guests never know the qs in advance. Their reactions and our conversations are 100% candid. No scripts and no practice.

01/08/2020

NEW in Season 2. We opened our Youtube Channel "Small Talk Long Talk"! - If I've ever mumbled or you were wondering what was going through my thoughts in an episode, this is the place to go. Subtitled content with some sprinkled Easter eggs of my thoughts in the moment.

31/07/2020

Only 10 Days left until Season 2. You definitely don't want to miss out. Different virtual studio, same, if not more, fun.

We've got something brewing in the kitchen 😉 and it's not just this coffee shot.

26/07/2020

We're almost 2 weeks away from Season 2! That means NEW guests, NEW questions, and NEW Laughs - Starting August 10, 2020.

25/07/2020

We're always looking for new guests, always looking to explore new questions, always seeking the interesting in everyone, always dreaming of better ways to do what we do.

24/07/2020

It's clear that COVID has shown us it doesn't take a cape to be a hero. Who's your Quarantine-Hero?

Shaking with excitement because we CAN'T WAIT til' you see what's coming out of the studio in preparation for Season 2.

20/07/2020

We just re-uploaded Part 2 of Running Reasons Ep. 7 where Luca and I continued to talk about failures and travelling the world.

It's been a great re-listen for us as COVID restrictions begin to ease - we found inspiration in our failures and how minuscule they've become over time as well as getting excited for the day that we can one day safely travel again (one can dream)

20/07/2020

To our surprise love is still very much in the air during COVID and lockdowns! Last week we re-uploaded one of our favourite episodes from S1E2 - Red Flags and Guilty Pleasures with our honoured guest .

If you're feeling like love is in the air for you or just looking for a great time then don't hesitate! Visit our link in bio to listen now!

DID YOU KNOW: BTS every podcasting session is around 1.5 - 2 hrs? Any of our amazing podcast guests can vouch for that!

This amazing conversation takes even more time to then filter through our team's editing and polishing process. But we do it because we love the grind! Late nights don't feel like much when you're doing something you love, and we LOVE giving listeners the best quality content we are capable of every time.

We thought it would only be appropriate that we share the last memory we have of CNE seeing as it won't be making an appearance this year in Toronto

Captured in this beautiful moment was our Honoured Guest of S1E10 Angela Oh (dw we had explicit permission [thanks for being such a good sport])

16/07/2020

the guests that never got to make an appearance & .nan.

We're all prone to failures at times, it's how we pick ourselves back up that matters 🤗

Back in the earliest days of podcasting when I was just starting to figure out the 3 person format I messed up big time and used a faulty mic, I was totally defeated when I listened back to the playback since the conversation had been so interesting. BUT it was not for naught!
1) We still had a great conversation
2) I still got the chance to learn more about my friends
3) I learned a very important lesson about sound checks and the BTS process

Hope to have you two back on the podcast soon!

📣New in Season 2📣 - DISAPPEARING EPISODES!

3 months after an episode's release date it will be archived for the records, so make sure you're subscribed and tuned in for the latest episodes!

15/07/2020

It was never a hidden fact that we're always trying to make this podcast the best it can be with each season and with each episode.

We would never make meaningful improvements without your constant feedback! So

14/07/2020

We have a natural tendancy of refraining from jumping into topics that we don't feel well versed in. But that doesn't mean the tough conversations shouldn't happen, this platform operates on having meaningful conversation and this one is no different. We encourage everyone to keep talking and learn more to continue to have these conversations no matter how hard or uncomfortable. Black Lives Matter, and we stand with you.

23/03/2020

I hope everyone is safely practicing social isolation to the best of your ability and being grateful for the things that are in your control. If you are home with families, roommates or can video chat a friend try out some of these conversation starters and you'll be surprised where they might lead! New Episode is Dropping tomorrow~~!

Reluctant good friend Angela Oh is back this week for Part 2 of the 2 part episode. We continue the discussion about my definition of success - although purposely broad I always check with it to ensure I'm moving in the right direction. Angela and...

New Episode drops tomorrow 11.18.19!
Recent friend and ex-coworker, Dave Chen joins us for this episode. Since we met at work a couple months ago there has been a few opportunities for small and long talks, especially closer to his departure. Our friendship and discussion stands as an example that there are no prerequisites to asking these questions, just two willing parties.
Dave joins today to talk about red flags, easy smiles, factors for enjoying life and guilty pleasures. I'm grateful to have him on as a guest and I hope you enjoy.
