Nobodies Are Somebodies Podcast with Chad Vice

Eric V. of @OpenTPodcast actually listened to one of my podcast episodes, I can't believe it! Well maybe he heard I was discussing the news and he, being active in his community and interested in the goings on around the world, thought I might have something important to say. That was false, but he did hear a few things come up about the city we live in, the city of Ottawa, Canada, and specificall...

The news of the world is usually dark, bleak, appalling, and downright true. This episode appears to be no different, where my sometimes co-host good buddy Fred and I discuss some things we found in the news online recently that caught our attention, and we just had to discuss them in a very frank and maybe uncouth way. But its real, raw, and meant to be a bit light hearted. Actually, some of it i...

Aaron Smith is loud, proud and boisterous and gets his point across. And I would not have it any other way! I've been trying to track him down for a few months now and I'm proud to finally bring you this interview. I visit his six person home, where we talk about all the trips he's taken to exciting places around that meant absolutely nothing to him (he's not a fan of travelling), we talk about hi...

Meet Penelope Goranson, singer/songwriter/actress/model and breast cancer warrior. We touch on many different topics and all are ones that I want to explore more of, but we were short on time as her and her husband Kent (big thank you to him for letting me record in his telescope shop) were heading to another appointment, but still I'm so grateful for the time that I got, and she also played live...

Bullying is described as: a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker. synonyms: persecutor, oppressor, tyrant, tormentor, intimidator When we think of bullies we think back to our high school years, and even though it was horrible when we went through it and we felt alone, and at the time, it was the only thing that consumed our minds. We would now probably look...

You can't have a show, you don't have a big guest. You don't have ANY guest for this show. How can you just release a "Best Of" episode an expect people to tune in to that? They've heard this content before. It's not like you're on TV and get away that! These are things that no one has said to me, but thoughts have crossed my mind about ending the Nobodies Are Somebodies podcast after the 1st seas...

Being caught in the middle of things, people and situations, just like this episode, is no fun. But I really had no choice here. You see, I'm a nice guy and I love helping my friends while also helping myself. So when my friend Eric says he needs a guest for his upcoming podcast episode, I am helping to help, and I can also use this time to test some over the phone/internet recording software for...

It's News of The World Time, Part Deux, once again with my co-host for this week, my good buddy Fred! He's joining me at my lovely apartment to discuss some things we heard and saw in the news into the new year, but the main feature that this show winds up being about is my ongoing war with the drive thrus of McDonald's, and one specific store in my local area that gave me the most hellish time ev...

Due to the flu and a loss of my precious voice, I am not able to conduct a proper interview for this week's episode. I will prove it however, as I did record some quick intros, outros and an outtake so you can all hear my wonderfully awful vocal chords in action. I mean I have to give the people what they want, right? And by that token, this episode is really all Chad Vice all the time I've includ...

HeroMario, or also known on his YouTube channel as HeroMarioGaming, if that his is real name, is a 15 year old avid gamer and he joins me on this episode to tell me abut what games he loves, Happy New Year. We discuss how he got into gaming, what his first game was, what he currently plays, and of course what games he's looking forward to in the future. Oh and I also ask him if he's any good at sc...

It's a wonderful Christmastime with the Nobodies Are Somebodies podcast, and I'm joined by my good buddy Fred, who is my co-host again for this episode as we power through some family Christmas traditions while eating and drinking and basically just having a good time. We also have a check in with Tikko Travels author Christine Frances Poe who tells me all about her What's In Your Sleigh fundraise...

On this episode my good buddy Fred drops by to talk about his new venture: selling online. Every one needs money, especially in this holiday season and if you have the time, patience and merchandise (time, love and tenderness?) to sell then you best be doing it. We talk about local selling and some of the pratfalls of dealing with the buying public, and we touch on some best practices and of cours...

Chantal Venne joins in my car, seemingly my new 'on the go' studio now, for a quick chat from her break at work. You remember, that job she has where she organizes parties in the Catholic schools after hours for events, and she's telling me all about her wicked awesome deadly party that she and her family had this weekend! Technical difficulties: My computer battery decided to konk out as I turned...

This week's episode starts of the another 20 questions from Richard Mystery and this time, I think I asked better questions and got some better answers. The best part? I read them and read his answers all by myself. Exciting right? Now, let's get him on this show for real! Then I have a conversation, in my car of all places, because I like to find new places to record, and speak with a young lady...

This episode will be a simulcast episode with my friend Eric's show, the Open Topic Podcast. We combined our shows for one special Monday and basically interviewed each other. And we covered all the cool topics like war, religion, gay rights, codes of conduct on a podcast, and last but not least, my family. Hope you will enjoy this joint venture episode and be sure to listen to both our shows...do...

Silence is acceptance That's a powerful statement and one that is made towards the end of the interview with my guest Marion Frame, making her Part II return after being unable to participate in the following week of her last airing interview due to some illness and some personal crisis. She is back, and she's got a lot to say as this interview takes on a decidedly dark turn from the origins of he...

I have an interesting interview coming up with 'RICHARD' here...a future guest (I hope!) that I'm trying to woo into doing a full on interview on the podcast some day, but like all good things they take time to produce and nurture, so that's what I am doing here; giving him just a taste at what it's like to be in the 'hot seat' as it were, as I provided him with a light-hearted questionnaire to co...

Shawna 'Dual Citizenship' Robinson is pretty cool - she's toured so many different places and so many wonderful and unique experiences and done it all at a young age. Puts me to shame. Luckily, I am still pretty young too..... On another note, we of course discuss her travels, how she was bitten by the travel bug (the good kind!), from a planned school trip to travelling on her own, where she has...

Denise is my extremely unpaid agent who does a lot for my podcast behind the scenes and sometimes on the scene itself, and her importance to my little podcast cannot be denied. So here is her payment: an(other) episode all to herself! She's all over this episode and it shows, intro, outro, and all! She fills me in what her substitute vacation plans were, how the hurricane affected her friends and...

For the second straight episode in as many weeks, I'm doing an episode based around a tribute to a fallen musical hero of mine, and this one is Canadian music legend Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2015, the band embarked on a final tour in 2016 as a goodbye and thank you to the friends and fans of the band across Canada, the last show from their hometown...

Marion Frame is enjoying the nature walks in the beautiful unencumbered trails of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, and when she is not doing that, she is running the local bank, and when she is not doing that she's helping organize donation and relief efforts to the many people who lost their homes and were affected by the massive brush fire that took apart the city of Fort McMurra...

If you ever wanted a history lesson or a behind the scenes look at Starbucks and how it really works, listening to this podcast episode with the return of Rachel O'Byrne will give you that fix you need. She's happy in her new job as a smiling, and never grumpy or tired Starbucks barista, and she shares some  stories and what her experiences have been like working at her local cafe so far. She also...

It's experiment time! This week's podcast is me checking in with some of my former guests, via telephone! Some of the people that I reached out to were not available right this very Monday as I decided that this would be this week's episode this very morning. But I found 3 former guests with absolutely nothing better to do on a Monday morning and I tested out my calling recording software via Call...

Life happens. Everything happens for a reason. What is the reason and what makes it happen. YOLO Questions that I can't answer that happen everyday to everybody, and we all deal with it in different ways. My family went through a bit of a crisis and a medical emergency 2 weeks ago over the Labor Day weekend. I'm sharing some of that story with you all now. Some things I won't be able to share now,...

Talking to Nancy about her community involvements, from taking studies for a career in social work to working at the local food bank and discussing the services that they offer as well as talking about some of her experiences working with persons in need. We then move on to talk about stories that her parents have shared with her on how they immigrated (fled) to Canada from Vietnam by way of Indon...
