    Jann is Handy AF
    Jan 30 2026
    Jann, Caitlin & Sarah discuss the recent snowstorm in Toronto before transitioning to a conversation about the recent events in Minnesota. They touch on some zany political predictions, too. Caitlin introduces a new segment called 'The Scroll' where they discuss trending news. This week, it's Alex Honnold and the live Netflix Skyscraper special, Paris Hilton leading advocacy efforts for AI-generated non-consensual content and some TikTok updates. They wrap with a light-hearted quiz on basic life skills - can you fix a car engine? Use a compass? Get a stain out of your shirt? And...discuss some cute 'couple rules.' #ASKJANN - want some life advice from Jann? Send in a story with a DM or on our website.

    Surviving The Deep Freeze One Laugh At a Time
    Jan 23 2026
    Jann, Caitlin, and Sarah start with a little positivity with some personal updates. Jann is recording from Reykjavik, working on her book, while Caitlin recounts heartwarming moments from her son's playdates, and Sarah shares her excitement about winning a Canadian Choice Award for Women in Media Network. The trio also touches on Alzheimer's Awareness Month, discussing a unique restaurant in Tokyo that employs servers with dementia, creating a space for empathy and understanding. Caitlin details the concept of 'choppelganger,' a humorous take on lookalikes, and the amusing experiences of being mistaken for someone else. The trio also dives into a Reddit thread discussing common misconceptions and habits that are actually universal. Does the sun make you sneeze? Are you someone who doesn't get goosebumps? The also hosts dive into the surprisingly dangerous world of seemingly harmless sports, sharing personal anecdotes; Jann recounts her painful experience with pickleball and even feeding the deer in her yard. Finally, they consider how they'd feel if they were mislead to believe someone who had hair was actually bald, discussing a man who was sued by his wife for being secretly bald. Would you sue?

  • Recall: John Batt

    Recall: John Batt
    Jan 14 2026
    This week, Jann Arden welcomes special guest John Batt, the creator of the popular Canadian history-themed Instagram account ⁠@canada.gov.ca.⁠ They explore the unique blend of humour and Canadian history that defines Batt's work, discussing the evolution of his account, the cultural identity of Canada, and the experience of performing live shows across Canada. The conversation also touches on Batt's journey from a day job to becoming a full-time content creator and the impact of internet culture on his career. Jann, Caitlin, John and Sarah explore the multifaceted aspects of Canadian culture, from music licensing in the 90s to the unique regional delicacies that define Canadian cuisine. The discussion also highlights the importance of humor in politics and the role of community in shaping cultural narratives. As they reflect on the past and look towards the future, the conversation emphasizes the need for a more honest understanding of Canada's diverse identity and the hope for positive change. More about John Batt: John Batt was born and raised in Fredericton and now lives in Montreal. When Batt is not working in post-secondary education, he is fine-tuning his live show that is coming to a city near you. His live show, which is selling out across the country, is neither a podcast nor is it stand-up comedy: instead it's ⁠canada.gov.ca ⁠and there's really nothing like it.
