the Polcast by the Goyette brothers
One podcast ? No. It’s a polcast (!) launched by Mario and Sylvain Goyette, the most famous brothers of Champlain in Mauricie. You don’t have the pleasure of knowing their discography? Think of Paul and Paul, but if Paul and Paul was a folk group created by Fabien Cloutier. As in Song Explorer, the popular American podcast, each episode of which features a mythical song, the two brothers, one poet, the other patented, invite their followers behind the scenes to create their greatest choruses, in addition to revealing certain studio secrets. which would be the envy of Rick Rubin (do you know the technique of Brussels sprouts?) Jubilant caricature of the laziness and ease of a medium whose craftsmen sometimes like to listen to themselves speak, The Goyette Brothers Polcast has the immense privilege of counting on select sponsors such as… the Pourvoirie Lac à la Schnolle!

This is the story of a former VJ and an old punk who, even after extracting confidences from the most popular artists on the planet, had not lost their desire to discuss music with those who create it. In this new podcast, borrowing its title from Nick Hornby’s cult novel, host Geneviève Borne and journalist from The Gazette Brendan Kelly talks casually with musicians who make careers in both Arcade Fire and Karkwa languages; each meeting is also made up of two complementary episodes, one in French and the other in English. Listen for relevant reflections on the linguistic bicephaly of Montreal, but also for fascinating digressions on the giants of rock history. First guest: Jeff Stinco, from Simple Plan.

“Your accent is cute, go ahead and talk!” No matter the good intentions behind it, a sentence like this inevitably ends up nourishing in anyone who bears it what is called linguistic insecurity, an expression designating this anxiety-inducing fear, sometimes accompanied by shame, unhappiness. ‘Express. Gabriel Robichaud and Bianca Richard, both from southeastern New Brunswick, delve into the ramifications of this feeling that too often borders on silence, in the audio variation of a theatrical docu-fiction currently in creation. In the company of linguists, politicians and creators, the actors and authors create a dialogue between the anecdotal and the socio-historical in order to remind us that speaking well consists in making oneself understood, and not in chatting with the same accent as the residents of Saint-Germain. -des-Pres.

While it sometimes seems fashionable to mock the demands of people from sexual and gender diversity (“Well, hey, it’s complicated!”), it is probably worth remembering that behind each of the letters of the acronym LGBTQ+ are real people. The thing could not be clearer than in all or all. For the third season, designer Laurie Perron and science journalist Alexandra Turgeon reach out to those who, on the fertile margins of a narrow world, carry out their daily struggle to imagine lives freed from the dictates of heteronormativity, the perfect-because-thin body and frantic performance. Few podcasts manage to deal with subjects as diverse as rurality, asexuality and alternative porn with such clarity.

“It’s cool what you’re doing, but when are you finally going to create for a real audience? » Host and writer Jean-Philippe Baril Guérard admits it straight away: he himself has already asked this reductive question to friends whose work is aimed at children. The series in 5 episodes of more or less 30 minutes highlights the approach and trajectory of 11 youth artists from Centre-du-Québec, but who radiate beyond. They testify with passion to the precious relationship they forge with their fervent audience of kids, as well as to the both restrictive and stimulating specifications that are incumbent on them — we do not create a book for 2 to 4 year olds as for 8 at the age of 11. A salutary exercise in demystifying the work of these essential creators of the imagination.
