    Today we’re sharing a preview of the new podcast So Your Parents Are Old from Campside Media.

  • Let’s Not Be Kidding Introduces | Personally: Short Sighted

    People don’t think Graham Isador is losing his sight. They think he’s an asshole.


    Short Sighted is an attempt to explain what vision loss feels like by exploring how it sounds.


    Written and hosted by master storyteller Graham Isador, the show’s mini episodes are an intimate and irreverent look at accessibility and its personal impacts.


    Get lost in someone else’s life. From a mysterious childhood spent on the run, to a courageous escape from domestic violence, each season of Personally invites you to explore the human experience in all its complexity, one story — or season — at a time. This is what it sounds like to be human.

  • Let’s Not Be Kidding Introduces: Come by Chance

    If you’ve ever been to Newfoundland, you know it’s a place where fog can envelop you so deeply, you don’t know where you’re going or where you came from. When two men, born in the same rural Newfoundland hospital on the same day, discover an unbelievable 52-year-old secret, it changes the way they see themselves forever. But this isn’t the end of the story. Because it turns out these men are not alone. A series of other close calls and near misses have begun to emerge, and not only at Come by Chance hospital. Come By Chance is a story about what it means to belong in a family — and how a twist of fate can upend the life you thought you knew.
