Hi everyone, here's a bonus episode for this week. We were invited to be on a panel talking about movie podcasting in our hometown of Edmonton!

Show notes:

Northwestfest (http://northwestfest.ca), the latest incarnation of the longest-running documentary film festival in Canada, invited us on to talk about the world of movie podcasts.

Paul Matwychuk (@myelbow), Erin's co-host on Trash, Art and the Movies, who you'll remember from Episode 23 on DEVDAS and DEV.D (https://audioboom.com/posts/4821508-episode-23-devdas-vs-dev-d-with-paul-matwychuk) hosted the panel, and J.P. Fournier of The Movie Jerks (@moviejerks) also spoke with us. He was on our now-legendary episode on the JISM films (https://audioboom.com/posts/5013228-episode-26-a-double-dose-of-jism-with-the-movie-jerks) with his co-host Shawn Gramiak.

Topics we spoke on included the shift from traditional criticism to podcasting, broadcasting Edmonton out to the world, how to start a podcast and do research, and more!
