Discovery Café – The Making of a Podcast: The Interview Dudes
When: Thursday, May 22, 2025 at 7:00 PM
Where: Blackburn Community Hall, 190 Glen Park Drive
Join us for our next Discovery Café session as podcast producer James Charron gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of a wonderful podcast: The Interview Dudes.
In June 2019, James`s son and his friends— all finishing Grade 6 here in Ottawa — decided to launch a podcast. Initially, their goal was simple: to interview their classmates and learn about various career paths. However, with James`s guidance and support, the podcast quickly evolved into something much more remarkable.
The inaugural episode featured James providing listeners with a glimpse into the world of voice acting. As the podcast gained momentum, the team secured interviews with prominent figures, including Ottawa’s then-Mayor Jim Watson and, notably, Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds. Over the years, they expanded their guest list to include scientists, politicians, athletes, musicians, and professionals from the film industry.
Come and hear the amazing story about how they worked to take the podcast to the #2 Kids and Family podcast in Canada, proving that age is no barrier to achieving remarkable feats.
Admission is free, no registration is required and all ages are welcome. Refreshments will be served.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
