Eat the territory
The Manitoba restaurant may have closed its doors, but in a way it is coming back to life in the words of its former co-owner, Élisabeth Cardin. “We lack proximity to the nurturing territory,” she says in the first episode of Eat the territory, summarizing at the same time the purpose of his very beautiful series. The one to whom we also owe the books Harvest time and The maple and the partridge (with Michel Lambert, also one of the guests) shows us how she developed her relationship with Mother Earth, while trying to understand how it broke down in our society. The one who put poetry on our plates with her wild cuisine is now putting it in our ears, with this four-episode podcast produced by Télé-Québec.

Archi interesting
The French daily The world produced its own architectural podcast. Over its seven episodes, Archi interesting invites us to a building somewhere in France – or even in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands – to dissect its renovations, its history, its new vocation… We are interested, for example, in the Paris Stock Exchange, restored by the architect Tadao Andō and become a museum of contemporary art, or at the Comédie de Clermont-Ferrand, which has moved into a former train station. For those who are curious about the reality across the Atlantic, this series produced in partnership with the City of Architecture and Heritage opens us up to its rich architectural history.

The fabulous gardens of Elsie Reford
The fabulous gardens of Elsie Reford
Do you know the Reford Gardens? Surely. But do you know who Elsie Reford is? Maybe not. Everyone has visited these gardens located at the gates of Gaspésie or has heard of them, but in reality, we know very little about their founder. This OHdio podcast traces the unusual journey of this avant-garde woman, who worked for 32 years, starting in 1926, to create this unique place with 3000 varieties of plants scattered in about fifteen gardens. The task was not easy, since these gardens are among the most northern in North America. Today, his great-grandson, Alexander Reford, is the director. To make us discover this story, none other than the voice of Marie-Thérèse Fortin: “little girl from the end”, born 5 km away, she was a guide at the Reford Gardens in the 1980s!

However, you can very well listen to the podcast at home or in a completely different place. The first episode focuses on the Lachine rapids, from the XVIIIe century to mid-twentiethe century, where we learn in particular that walking on the beach in a bathing suit has already been a controversial practice. And to find out why LaSalle was called the “Bronx”, you have to listen to the second episode, which recounts the development of its historic heart since the beginning of the 20th century.e century. The podcast was created by the Agreement on the Cultural Development of Montreal, concluded between the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec.
