Thanks for tuning in. Erin’s sick, Don’s barely holding it together, and most of the crew’s either out of town or buried in school.

Still—we showed up, dropped an episode, and ran through what’s going down in Edmonton over the next couple weeks.

Riverside glitched out, Craig’s mic kept cutting, and some of Ben and Mati’s audio sounded like a demon from The Matrix was remixing it in real time. So yeah—you get what you get.

When we started this podcast, we figured we’d keep it easy. Descript seemed like a good move. Fancy studio-level shit like Audition? Sure, it’s nice. We have the know-how. But we’re not trying to sink hours into tweaking every goddamn waveform just to pump out an episode every two weeks. The goal here? Fast, efficient, useful.

But Descript? That thing was a bit of a mess. Buggy as hell. In theory, it should’ve let us bang out episodes in a day, but instead, it chewed up time like a black hole. We’re talking days lost to troubleshooting. Not the vibe.

So, we jumped ship to Riverside. Had to rewire our brains a little, but so far? Not bad. Seems stable.

Now, about this episode—you were supposed to get a tight little 20-minute half-episode to make up for the absolute banger we lost last week thanks to our old, glitch-ridden platform. Instead, what happened was two fn’ hours of Alia Laura, Ben Kanee, and Don Eglinski diving deep into the genetic modification of magic mushrooms, cannibalism, and other questionable content. Most of that got the axe in editing… but if enough of you ask, we’ll drop the B-roll.

Also, fun fact: we learned Alia has an OnlyFans. Normally, we plug our hosts’ Instagram accounts—like Alia’s stand-up comedy profile—but today? Today, you get the nudes.

As always, it’s a little rough, but it’s getting there. Thanks for riding with us while we dial this thing in and keep you looped in on what’s good in Edmonton.

We will soon get on a regular biweekly schedule of Mondays.

For the first half of February, it’s just Ben, Craig, and Don. No Alphas—just the B, C, and D team holding it down while the rest of the crew is either sick, tied up, or off the grid. They’ll be back in two weeks, along with some fresh faces for Fn’cast’s fourth episode. In the meantime, we’re playing with the format, dialling in the curation, and seeing what sticks. It’s all part of the process.

This episode features:

• Don Eglinski
• Ben Kanee
• Craig Martell

Yeah, this one’s late. Not because of recording glitches like last time—just pure, uncut chaos. Fn’za has been slammed this week, and there just weren’t enough hours in the day to get it online sooner. Thanks for sticking with us, though. Every episode sharpens the edges a little more, and next round, we’re bringing in new voices to cover even more of the best entertainment happening in the city. Stay tuned.

This January, we’re diving into everything popping off in Edmonton—EDM gigs, punk reunions, comedy nights, theatre productions, dance battles, and burlesque shows. Highlights? Bingo Loco at Midway, Sum 41 at Rogers Place, a tribute to Ben Sir, and Winterruption YEG with artists like Teen Suicide, Owen Pallett, and Kool Keith. Plus, we’re covering regular comedy nights, dance classes, and wild theatre productions like Goblin:Macbeth and Beetlejuice the Musical. If it’s happening, we’ve got it on your radar.

This episode features:

• Don Eglinski
• Beverly Gan
• Alia Laura
• Craig Martell
• Sekou Sonko-Boisclair
• David Stone
• Matilda Sykes

Sorry for the delay getting this out—we’ve been wrestling with the joys and pains of different software and figuring out how to piece together an episode from broken audio after some laptop and mic drama. As we sort this out, the production quality will only get better, and we’ll keep polishing it up. Thanks for sticking with us!

Welcome to the pilot episode of Fn’cast, your guide to good fn’ times! We’re beyond grateful to everyone carving out time during the busiest time of the year to make this happen. The reason we’re dropping this first (very rough) episode is simple: this doesn’t fit any podcast mould we’ve seen. We needed to get a shitty one out there, iterate, and figure out what works and what doesn’t. Plus, to shut down anyone who thinks there’s nothing to do in Edmonton—we’re here to prove there’s some seriously cool shit going down every night of the week.

Stick with us as we rough it out and build something awesome together.
