The fruits of tonight’s labours with @kvaspencer and Jon. Kate’s is an owl. Jon’s is an homage to Rusty and the Boulder, a Thomas the Tank Engine episode that he could do a thesis on. Mine is Hercule Poirot, because my little grey cells decided that would be a fitting tribute to someone who is far away. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUr3iDrqzh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The final episode of That’s a Thing?! awaits you in your podcatcher of choice (or in the link in bio). In it, I review the lessons I’ve learned from @elizadeathyeg over the previous 50 episodes. Chief among them is that it’s unfathomably rewarding to make something with one’s kids. . Thank you to everyone who has encouraged us along the way. I so deeply appreciate your time and kind words. . Salute to our fellow podcasters in @albertapodnet — it’s been a pleasure to be among you! .

The penultimate episode of That’s a Thing?! (yes, friends, the end is nigh) is a deep and nuanced look at the value of uncomfortable art. Parents, your vocabulary is probably going to expand with this one — the arguments your kids may be having online are way more complex than you think. .

That’s a Thing?! says goodbye to 2021 and hello to 2022 with some righteous anger about the exploitation of kids’ creativity on the internet. Sounds heavy, but you know us — @elizadeathyeg can’t help but be funny, and I can’t help but laugh. A lot. .

Today I got to see #yeg like I’ve never seen it before, thanks to a #baskonthesask preview courtesy of @rivervalleyalliance and @epcor. I brought my son, who has never experienced the city like this before either (though there’s a chance he’ll get to go on a RiverWatch trip with school in a raft like we were in.) You can do this too — and take better pictures — at RiverFest on Aug. 11. I highly recommend! (at North Saskatchewan River Edmonton)
