This Is My First Pandemic

Lemon Productions — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 10:00:00 -0600

Recorded early in the COVID-19 pandemic, just after finishing a mandatory 14-day quarantine. Chris reflects on the strangeness of everyone going through their "first pandemic" at once, the lingering anxiety of bringing groceries into the house even after quarantine ends, and how technology has kept the family connected — the kids playing Minecraft with cousins over Discord, his wife on Zoom calls, and his own work continuing as normal. He mentions two other Good Stuff shows: The 25 Cent, an Apple Arcade podcast he co-hosts with Nick, and Crosstalk, a Patreon-exclusive discussion show with other Good Stuff hosts. He also recommends Jackbox Games' party game packs (Quiplash, Drawful) as a fun way to play with friends and family remotely during lockdown.

This Is Surreal

Lemon Productions — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 13:00:00 -0600

Recorded right after flying home to Canada from a family vacation in Mazatlan, Mexico, just as COVID-19 rules shifted from "recommended" to mandatory quarantine. Chris describes the disorienting last-minute scramble to get home before borders and flights shut down, and adjusting to 14 days of self-isolation with his wife (now also working from home) and their kids. He points listeners to the Good Stuff Discord's "health talk" and "working for a living" channels for community discussion during the pandemic, and offers to personally help anyone who wants access to the community but can't afford the $5/month Patreon tier right now.

A bonus Minecraft episode of the "Never Dig Down" show, with co-host Tim Marta.

New Podcast - Who Dis?

Lemon Productions — Tue, 14 Aug 2018 17:00:00 -0600

Chris returns after a long summer break and reflects on how hard it is to get back into a recording rhythm after time off. He shares an idea he's been developing for a membership community for people who create (or struggle to keep creating) podcasts — inspired by Justin Jackson's "Mega Maker" community for indie software makers — offering monthly hangouts, encouragement, and accountability rather than a big course launch. He also reflects on a day spent helping a friend with farm work, and how working alongside others toward a shared goal made him think about how much of his own work happens alone.

Social Media Jealousy

Lemon Productions — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 12:00:00 -0600

An unscripted, stream-of-consciousness episode about how Instagram has shifted, for Chris, from a fun photo-sharing app into something that stirs up jealousy and comparison — especially when it's local friends and family posting rather than distant acquaintances. He talks candidly about wrestling with jealousy and bitterness, the social awkwardness of unfollowing people, and the then-upcoming iOS 12 Screen Time feature as a tool for building awareness of app usage. He also mentions capping his own daily time on the mobile game Clash Royale as a way of managing his own habits. Thanks to our monthly supporters

Way Too Villainiously

Lemon Productions — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 05:00:00 -0600

After watching Incredibles 2 with his kids, Chris riffs on a storytelling pattern he keeps noticing in kids' movies and shows: a trusted ally is revealed late in the story to be the villain, with little to no earlier hint. He wonders whether that trope subtly teaches kids that even good people shouldn't be trusted, and compares it to Thor: Ragnarok and The Handmaid's Tale, where the audience generally knows who's good and bad much earlier — asking which approach makes for healthier storytelling for kids. He also mentions the "Way Too Seriously" podcast, which takes a deep, comedic dive into kids' movies, and the revived "Show Me Your Mic" podcasting show he co-hosts with Kyle, recorded live on the Good Stuff Twitch channel.

This is a Test of the Goodstuff Broadcasting System

Lemon Productions — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 16:00:00 -0600

A short technical-test episode, published to confirm some backend changes to the Good Stuff podcast network were working correctly. Along the way, Chris mentions that Apple's WWDC keynote didn't include a new MacBook Pro (to his disappointment), introduces a new hockey podcast on the network called Icebreakers, and previews his World Cup 2018 viewing plans — cheering for Mexico, then Argentina/Messi, then England, in that order of elimination.

A Review of Our U2 Experience in Montreal

Lemon Productions — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 09:00:00 -0600

Chris and his wife Sue debrief on seeing U2 live at the Bell Centre in Montreal on the Experience + Innocence tour, plus the pre-show sets by U2 tribute acts December (from Scotland) and Acrobat. They talk through standout songs — "One," "Staring at the Sun," and "Love Is Bigger Than Anything in Its Way" — the show's staging and visual storytelling, the growing number of phones blocking views at concerts, and the deliberately quiet, reflective way the show ended rather than with a big anthemic closer.

Preshowing December, Acrobat, and U2

Lemon Productions — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 09:00:00 -0600

Recorded ahead of the Montreal U2 shows, this is a conversation with Chris's wife Sue about what to expect from the night's pre-show acts, December and Acrobat. Sue talks candidly about not considering herself a "hardcore" U2 fan despite genuinely loving the band, the social anxiety of meeting fellow fans she doesn't know well, and her honest (and low-pressure) expectations heading into the shows.

Another conversation with Sue, recorded in Montreal, about the divide between online friendships and in-person ("meat space") relationships. Chris talks openly about why he's historically felt hesitant to bring up his podcasting and online fan communities with people outside that world, and the two discuss how attitudes toward hobbies, self-promotion, and internet friendships differ across generations and family culture.

Lemon Productions — Wed, 09 May 2018 14:00:00 -0600

Chris explains why he switched his to-do list app from Todoist to TickTick after about two years: mostly the same features but cheaper. He also highlights a few things he prefers about TickTick — a calendar view for dragging and rescheduling recurring tasks, "repeat X time after completion" reminders (handy for things like changing a furnace filter), a built-in Pomodoro timer, and support for standard Mac keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+N, Cmd+F) that Todoist didn't use.

Quitting Achievement Unlocked and Fortnite

Lemon Productions — Mon, 07 May 2018 09:00:00 -0600

After missing a couple of scheduled episodes, Chris talks about pushing through the "you broke your streak, why bother" mental spiral and recording anyway. Most of the episode is a rundown of Fortnite for parents unfamiliar with it: its origins as a free, multi-platform response to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), its battle-royale format, and how it took over from Minecraft as the game consuming his son's (and many kids') attention — including the social side of playing and voice-chatting with friends.

It's Cold

Lemon Productions — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 13:27:50 -0600

Recorded on a brutally cold March day in Saskatoon (real feel around -31°C), Chris talks about why the cold makes it hard to think about anything else. It's also his son Mason's birthday, and coincidentally the 30th anniversary of U2's The Joshua Tree.

Chris digs into U2's newly announced deluxe/anniversary reissues of The Joshua Tree — a 7-LP box set, a 4-CD super deluxe edition, and a more affordable 2-CD deluxe set — and wrestles out loud with whether the pricing feels like a fair collector's offering for fans or more of a cash grab, while acknowledging bands have every right to sell premium editions and merch.

He also touches on the mental and emotional side of keeping up a near-daily podcast — how anxiety can make it hard to even hit record — and wraps up with thanks to Patreon supporters and a look ahead to rebuilding the Goodstuff.FM back end.
