M4A•Главная эпизода

Merry Christmas! Recorded prior to the Season 3/series finale, your four favourite podcasting elves sat down to discuss the pros and cons of advertising the winter holidays as an annual event to attend, rather than a celebration to enjoy and be fully present in. Whether it's a notable airline company buying the dream gifts for everyone on board or a beverage company convincing us that we can only really enjoy get-togethers with a glass of their popular product in-hand, Christmas has become more and more of a performance art piece. The weird thing is, we all see it happening, but we buy into it anyway. Why? Well, you can bet that Holly, Greg, Ashlynn and Chris will talk about (if not try to answer) that question.
Between seasons/episodes, you can always keep in touch with the crew by emailing: thehouseboundpodcast@gmail.com or following along on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. And please review The Housebound Podcast on your favourite streaming service. Thank you.

All good things must come to an end. Oh, and also this podcast. At least for now. Join Chris, Holly, Ashlynn and Greg on the final (finale?) send-off of their fledgling show where they talk about books (classic), reminisce on the last three years of episodes and finally try to get the often-referenced but never-heard of dog, Odin - an entire episodes' topic in his own right - to confirm his presence. A huge thank-you for indulging us in this adventure. We may be back at some point(s) in the future, so keep connected with us until then on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, or shoot us an e-mail. We love getting mail. Especially when we're Housebound. *Don't forget that there's still a holiday episode upcoming...* _____ Do you need music, SFX or stock video for your next project?

The penultimate episode has arrived, and just in time to fulfill our very loose promise to you of talking about things in our houses (eventually)! On this episode, we talk about garages, bedrooms and good use of the living space - especially when it comes to gaming or recording a podcast.

There's something in a song that has the power to build us up, tear us down, invite imagination, invoke a memory, transport us to another world or ground us in our own. And that "something" is (usually) the French horn, whether we like to admit it or not. Ashlynn, Chris, Holly and Greg all appreciate music and all enjoy it differently, but what is it that draws us to this art form in the first place, and why do some people seem not to appreciate it at all? _____ Do you need music, SFX or stock video for your next project?

Extra-Terrestrial experimentation, spyware disguised as what most would assume are just birds, and hypnotic therapies supposedly leading to repressed memories of demonic rituals that were then dubbed the "Satanic Panic" are among the more prominent conspiracy theories of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (which may make you wonder why we didn't touch on any of those topics during this episode - a missed opportunity, to be sure). But whether you believe the COVID-19 vaccines contained microchips or that repeatedly purchasing 10 iced coffees at $1 each during the summer months saves you money in the long run, aren't we all just being willfully ignorant of the truth? P.S. JFK is alive, and told us that he hid a secret bonus episode at the end of this one. But that can't be true... _____ Do you need music, SFX or stock video for your next project?

Last episode was all about memories. Mostly, generally positive memories - or, at least, not negative. This month, Greg takes us on a journey down the more problematic side of the social media's recent history. We discuss controversies, senate hearings and we ask questions about whose jobs it is to protect the public from the actions of big businesses: the consumer or the company? _____ Do you need music, SFX or stock video for your next project?

Social media is a behemoth all to itself, but when we tried to fit just even one platform into the topic of a single episode...the plan fell through. So we'll spend the next couple of episodes discussing the things everyone loves and hates about the world's most controversial social networking service that was started in a college dorm room and turned into a 122 award-winning film starring The Amazing Spider-Man, Lex Luthor and one guy whose face was duplicated and attached to another actor's body. _____ Do you need music, SFX or stock video for your next project?

Greetings, from tropical Saskatchewan! It's May, it's nearly summer (officially) and those that haven't travelled over the winter are now considering their options for vacations, trips and other adventurous excursions. Greg, Chris, Holly and Ashlynn all share a fondness for "getting away" from the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day, but some of them are more prone to actually get away, while some are simply content to plan the getaway.

Why do your hosts spend so much time goofing off and not just talking about the topics at hand? Well, they don't know either. But you can bet they'll talk about it anyway.

Okay. It's been said before, but it bears repeating: “Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.”(J. Standord) Therefore, it only makes sense that “I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health."(Voltaire) and that means that we should choose to take care of our bodies. “But the real secret to lifelong good health is actually the opposite: Let your body take care of you.”(Deepak Chopra) so...okay, wait, then how does it- “I am fascinated by the growing science behind the energy of consciousness and its effects on matter...how (water) molecules behave differently depending on the words or music being expressed around it.”(Gwyneth Paltrow).

When deciding on whether to release a follow-up to Episode 047 as a bonus episode immediately after its posting (following the upload schedule for this season) or to wait and release it midway between that episode and the next (Episode 049) there were several factors to take into consideration, doubtless any of which would be of particular interest to the casual listener. This, then, is that episode in all its 20-minute glory, as well as a little something extra sprinkled in for good measure. And as the preceding episode's antithetical, this episode - and, likewise, this description - goes out of its way to be as glaringly obviously so.
