Parking Lot

New apartments, new digital subscriptions, new outlooks, it's all changing over here at PKL. This week we look into all the changes we're experiencing and how we deal with change and uncertainty. It's not easy, but at least we're able to podcast about it. Enjoy! 

We clear up a few things in this episode. First, Matt Smith is a cross between Frankenstein and Wallace, in a super appealing way. Second, Mike White is a genius, and putting your last name into the title of your show is a sneaky power move. Third, we all love TV and think you might as well, so listen in cause we’ve got everything you should be watching this Winter!

She’s worked on The Grid, she helped to redesign Chatelaine, she’s currently working on the redesign of Best Health, she’s the president of the RGD, and in July, she opened a new shop on Dundas called Issues, that carries hard-to-find, independent magazines from around the world. This week we sit down with the incredibly talented, generous, and wildly smart: Nicola Hamilton. We talk to her about her career starting out in Toronto, and how she lost her Eat, Pray, Love moment to the pandemic, and instead decided to open her own magazine shop. Enjoy!

The reason you're scared of a truck filled with logs, the reason you don't like roller coasters, the reason you shouldn't have clotheslines in your shower: Final Destination. This week we sit down to talk about the entire franchise and decide if it's an official PKL icon. Join us for this episode as we talk about all our final destinations: death! 

It’s Spooktober again, and we’re here this week, over Zoom, to chat all things Halloween. From our costumes this year (Elliot’s costume involves a whip, and that’s all he’ll say at this point), to our stance on handing out candy, we get into the traditions of this scary season.

What’s cold, impossibly fast, loves high school, glitters in the sun, and has a small town kink? Say it. Vampire. This week on our inaugural episode of Carpooling with the Cullens, we sit down to watch the highly controversial: Twilight. Featuring a new game called Save Her or Drain Her, as well as lots of questions from the uninitiated boy in our group, we settle in to guide you through this movie. Our commentary is unflinching, provocative, and very, very exciting. Enjoy!

Check out the Parking Lot Podcast, featuring your friends Kate Latimer, Maggie Prince, Elise Bailey, and Elliot Jannetta. Listen in every Friday as we discuss topics, review movies, and interview emerging and established artists. Thanks for stopping by!

This week we plan a Capture the Flag game (full tackle obviously), Elise plays lots of games at lots of birthday parties, Kate breaks her back while camping, and Elliot finds his style icon in one Mr. David Bowie. Plus our main topic: perfectionism. This may not be a perfect episode, this may not be a perfect podcast, but in the end, it’s about the journey, not the destination. Settle in with us for another episode, it’s wild ride.

Have you heard the story about the carpenter who's allergic to wood? What about the one about taking a DNA test and finding a long lost family member? How about the one about walking through Naples late at night and getting egged? No? Well listen in this week, this episode's a doozy....

Here's the situation folks, Kate and Maggie are gone so we can FINALLY talk about what we've all been waiting for and that's... About Time! It's a wonderful movie that'll make you laugh, cry, and may even convince you to move to jolly-old England. If you haven't seen it then pause the show here and run to your nearest screen and quickly correct that, don't worry we'll wait... or maybe we won't. Enjoy!
