The Jann Arden Podcast

Jann, Caitlin & Sarah are joined by Tracy & Martina (sketch duo and podcasters Justine Williamson and Greg Vardy), who discuss their movie 'Tracy & Martina: Goin' Out West'.

Tracy and Martina are two fun-loving best friends from Cape Breton who head west to Alberta for the first time. They hope to make money opening for a local band, but things go south when their accommodations fall through and they run out of money.

They share their experiences traveling to Alberta, the cultural differences they encountered, and the humour they found on the road. They also discuss their journey from YouTube creators to filmmakers, highlighting their experiences in Cape Breton and the unique culture of the region. They share insights on friendship, fame, and even how to save a little money at a festival! *We do not endorse getting kicked out of crabfest.*

Tracy & Martina: Goin' Out West is part Fubar, part homage to the classic Goin’ Down The Road, by Music video director Brendan Langelle Lyle (aka MooseCANFly) making his film debut. 

The feature was made last year while touring in Alberta and won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at this year's CUFF (Calgary Underground Film Festival). 

Tracy & Martina: Goin' Out West will release on Crave starting September 1.

They discuss Dan's work on the show 'Hazardous History,' his passion for bats, and the importance of exposing children to nature. The conversation also touches on parenting styles, outdoor exploration, and the myth of lemmings perpetuated by Disney.

Jann, Caitlin & Sarah reconnect and share personal updates! Jann shares her recent experience travelling with Thordis, Sarah discusses being away from her partner, and Caitlin brings up the impact of Stephen Colbert's departure from late-night television. It wouldn't be the Jann Arden Podcast without the hosts touching on Alberta separatism which stems from Jann's passion for her home. Finally, the hosts explore the etiquette surrounding weddings on long weekends, the costs associated with holiday weddings, and the personal choices involved in destination weddings. Hope you'll weigh in!
