Searching for IzenaPart 3: 19891989 was a high water mark for women working hard to shatter the glass ceiling at Edmonton City Hall. Not only did Edmontonians elect their first female mayor (Jan Reimer), but they also elected for the first time an equal number of women and men to serve on council. We talk to Reimer, still the first and only woman elected to lead Edmonton, about the highs and lows of her mayoralty and her experience wading through the deep-seated sexism and misogyny that confronted her every day. We also hear from two former Reimer staffers — Kathy Vandergrift (Edmonton’s first female chie...

SciencelinePODCAST: Treating insomnia without medicationScienceline explores non-pharmaceutical ways for insomnia sufferers to get a better night sleep
This podcast pilot will reviews various sleep-help methods for folks suffering from insomniacs. While many insomnia sufferers resort to drugs, intentioned changes to behavior or listening to music while trying to fall asleep might help, too. I talk to Austin Frakt, an insomnia sufferer and blogger for The Incidental Economist, Kira Vibe Jespersen at Aarhus University in Denmark, and John Watson who runs the Sleep Radio service in New Zealand. Sleep easy!

The Unknown StudioRyan Jespersen, from television to radio | S06E13For as long as I've woken up early to watch morning television (which is really only 5-6 years if I'm honest), Ryan Jespersen has been a mainstay on CityTV's Breakfast Television. But in December he announced he'd be trading TV cameras for radio microphones.
In mid January, Ryan started a new job as the host of aptly named Ryan Jespersen Show on 630 CHED. So Scott and I sat down with the soon-to-be-father to talk about the transition from early mornings to less early mornings, and the differences between radio and television.
2015-04-0800 minThe Unknown StudioSummer special: the boys on Breakfast TelevisionMany of you tuned in to watch Scott and I on BT Edmonton yesterday. And a goodly quantity of you also checked out our live blog, written by Scott while we hung out with BT co-host Ryan Jespersen and his amazing crew of teamsters.
While we were on the show, we recorded a podcast for the whole 3 hours we were on set. You can see Scott and I on the three segments that BT Edmonton posted:
Segment 1: An intro to the Unknown Studio and the magic of television
Segment 2: A discussion on the magic of blogging and live shows
