I Welcome My New AI Overlords

December 11, 2022

Greetings, fellow freaks and misfits! Today we’re going to talk about a topic that’s been on my mind lately: artificial intelligence. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “David, what the hell do you know about AI? You’re just a hotelier who spends his days in a haze of bourbon and psychedelics.” And you know what? You’re right! But just because I’m a raging lunatic doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the beauty and terror of the machine mind. So put on your favourite pair of shades, grab a fistful of psychedelics, and let us take a trip into the heart of the AI revolution.

To Podcast or Not to Podcast

November 27, 2021

Hi there, friends. I thought I would take a few moments to chat with you about what is happening with the Loose and Conversational podcast. In 2020 there were a lot of new podcasts. Many people were bored, stuck at home, looking to fill time, connect with like-minded individuals and, if you are like me,…

Loose Notes

May 12, 2021

It has been pretty busy for us lately, but I think it is time for a quick catch-up with everyone. We have put out a podcast consistently since taking a break early in the new year. In fact, we have recorded two extra podcasts just in case. A new podcast is released about two weeks…

Here is an Update on Your Favourite Podcast

February 22, 2021

It is hard to believe that we recently recorded the 15th episode of the Loose and Conversational podcast. We are still a work in progress, but we have learned a lot. I decided to take a couple of weeks off to take a break and plan out the next 15. When we first started, we…

Do you want to be on a podcast?

February 11, 2021

The Loose and Conversational Podcast is currently two people. I am the host, and I produce the show. Jenn Northcoast calls herself the star; she co-hosts and assists with social media. I am starting to think that we have room for one or two more people. We often come up with episode ideas, and then…

The Not So Basic Answer To The Tough Question, Why Am I Such a Poor Listener?

January 16, 2021

Lately I have been wondering why people tell me I am a poor listener. I read an article on ThriveGlobal.com by Jonathan Alpert called “7 Ways to Become a Better Listener.” The tips are pretty good, and the article got me thinking. I must have read dozens of write-ups like this over my life. I…

Update on the Podcast – Where do we go from here?

December 26, 2020

Let me update you on the Loose and Conversational Podcast. Jenn and I record the podcast just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. It is currently against public health orders to have any gatherings. Ergo, we are not able to get together with people to record the podcast. I bought a piece of equipment to hopefully allow…

Resilience and Why the World Will Be a Better Place Soon

December 21, 2020

What can we expect after the pandemic? Growing up in Saskatchewan, I always admired my grandparents’ ability to cope with whatever life presented them. They were children during the Great War and the Spanish Flu who grew up during the Great Depression. They met and started a family before and during the Second World War….

People, This is the Worst Get Rich Scheme Ever!

December 13, 2020

Why make a podcast anyway? In our last blog, we talked about some of the equipment that we use to make our episodes. In this one, let us talk about why the Loose and Conversational podcast exists. There are currently an estimated 1.5 million podcasts in the world, with over 34 million episodes. In the…

Oh God, The Blog! aka The Tools We Use

December 3, 2020

I didn’t forget, exactly… I remember back when I started with the idea of Loose and Conversational, and everything I read said that all good podcasts need a blog. “Fine,” I thought. I like writing. I shall start a blog. I had to build a website to support the podcast, and it seemed natural to…
