Sadie and Scott

Send us a Message It’s our Season 2 finale, and what better way to wrap things up than during a heatwave? This week, Scott and Sadie tackle all the important summer questions. Why does every Canadian suddenly become a weather expert? Is it ever acceptable to stand in front of the freezer just to cool off? And who really gets control of the thermostat? The two also share listener heatwave confessio...

Send us a Message It’s Pride Month!  This week on Sadie and Scott we’re joined by Katharine Saneaha, the creator behind @all.things.mummy on TikTok. Katharine shares life with her wife, Anna and their two kids, giving people a funny, honest, and heartwarming look at parenting, family life, and what it means to be part of a two-mom family. We talk about Pride, representation, raising kids, the beau...

Send us a Message This week on Sadie and Scott , we’re talking about the things we thought meant someone was rich when we were kids. Fridges with ice dispensers. Finished basements. Brand-name cereal. Movie theatre snacks. A second phone line. If someone had a garage fridge full of pop, they were basically royalty. Sadie and Scott break down the childhood status symbols that made us think another...

Send us a Message Everyone tells little lies. Not the big dramatic ones that ruin families or end up in documentaries. We mean the tiny, everyday lies we all tell just to get through adulthood without explaining ourselves too much. This week on Sadie and Scott, we talk about the harmless little lies people pretend are completely normal, like “I’m five minutes away,” “Sorry, just saw this,” “Let’s...

Send us a Message This week on Sadie and Scott , we’re joined by Toronto based lifestyle creator Renee LeBlanc for a funny and honest look at life online, family content, brand deals, mom hacks, and what really happens behind the perfectly framed post. We talk about how Renee became a creator, what people misunderstand about influencer life, how she decides what to share, and why some of the most...

Send us a Message It’s our anniversary episode, which means we are celebrating the only way we know how: by looking back, making fun of ourselves, and asking how this show made it this far. In this episode of Sadie and Scott , we talk about the strange little milestone of surviving another year of podcasting, play a game called “Let’s Test Sadie’s Memory,” and decide whether past segments were rea...

Send us a Message Sadie is back, and apparently we are all supposed to pretend she did not abandon the show for two weeks to float around on a cruise ship eating buffet shrimp and living her best international-waters life. This week on Sadie and Scott , we kick things off with Sadie’s cruise debrief, then launch a brand-new segment called Ask Sadie , where listeners ask for advice about dishwasher...

Send us a Message This week, Scott and Sadie take on a topic they quickly realize they do not fully understand… menopause...well, Sadie does. What starts as a casual conversation turns into a deep dive into hot flashes, brain fog, sleep struggles, mood swings, and the many things no one really explains ahead of time. Along the way, they play a game of “Menopause or Made It Up,” investigate real-li...

Send us a Message This week, Scott and Sadie talk about AI, the helpful parts, the weird parts, and whether any of us are really ready for how normal it has become.  Then they take on the slightly offensive realization that a lot of the stuff we grew up with is now old enough to be considered vintage. From Walkmans and Polaroids to shoulder pads and Trapper Keepers, nothing is safe.  To close thin...

Send us a Message Hello Friends! Scott and Sadie are joined this week by Lisa Zawrotny, host of the Positively Living Podcast and founder of Positively Productive Systems, for a conversation that is part productivity coaching, part life reset, and part gentle intervention for Sadie.  Scott, of course, is doing just fine.  Together, they talk about overwhelm, burnout, routines that actually work in...

Send us a Message This week we’re opening the hobby graveyard. From home gym equipment that became furniture to creative phases that lasted exactly one weekend, we’re talking about the expensive optimism behind the hobbies we swore would change our lives. Why does buying the equipment feel like progress? When did researching a hobby become the hobby itself? Plus listener confessions that prove we’...

Send us a Message In this episode, Scott and Sadie look back at the things they believed in their 20s with full confidence… and zero accuracy. From “I don’t need sleep” to “I’ll have everything figured out by 30,” they unpack the lies that felt true at the time, and what reality had to say about them later. It’s funny, a little humbling, and very relatable. They get into career expectations that d...

Send us a Message In this episode Scott and Sadie dig into the trends, movies, fashion, and life choices we once thought were peak cool, but now feel like fever dreams. From grandpa jeans to rom-com logic that would never fly today, we unpack the stuff we proudly wore and proudly watched with equal parts embarrassment and laughter. With listener stories, whacky news, and a game that’ll make you qu...

Send us a Message Season two of Start Talking with Sadie and Scott starts the only honest way possible, by talking about New Year’s resolutions and how quickly they fall apart. Scott and Sadie read real resolutions sent in by listeners on Facebook, react to gym memberships that haven’t been used yet, emotional support water bottles, and the kind of optimism that only exists in early January. Sadie...

Send us a Message This week, Scott & Sadie trade lives (at least in theory), slap warning labels on each other, and tackle some impossible “This or That” choices — like whether they’d rather wear wet socks forever or speak only in song lyrics. They also read listener submissions about the pettiest hills you’re all willing to die on, from toilet paper placement wars to banning the word “yummy,”...

Send us a Message In this episode, we sit down with Katie Berg, who shares her deeply personal journey of seeking asylum in Canada and building a new life from scratch. From the moment she arrived to the challenges of starting over in an unfamiliar place, Katie opens up about the fears, hopes, and resilience that carried her through. We talk about what it’s really like to leave everything behind,...

Send us a Message Scott and Sadie surprise themselves (and probably you) by having an actual grown-up conversation about mental health and how it affects our kids. It’s honest, thoughtful, and one of our most meaningful discussions yet. Of course, we don’t stay serious for long—because what’s an episode without some wild news stories, a few ridiculous fun facts you’ll definitely share at your next...

Send us a Message Adulting is hard. Like, cancel-your-gym-membership-and-assemble-IKEA-furniture-while-on-hold-with-your-insurance-company hard. In this episode, Sadie and Scott dive into the ridiculous, rage-inducing, and unnecessarily complicated parts of grown-up life that make you want to live in a yurt and eat Pop-Tarts in peace. From applying for a passport with a child to decoding tax paper...

Send us a Message This week we’re diving into the song lyrics we’ve been confidently butchering for years. From power ballads to pop hits, we unpack the lines we misunderstood, misheard, or just flat-out invented—and ruin a few classics in the process.  Along the way, Scott explores the fascinating world of human gaits (yes, your walk says more than you think), Sadie takes a quiz on Canadian inven...

Send us a Message We were today years old when we found out how many things we knew nothing about our whole lives. In this episode, we dive into the funniest “I was today years old when…” moments—from realizing that pickles are just cucumbers (we already knew that!) to finding out something cool about Octopuses (Octopi?) But wait—there’s more! We’re not playing one game show… we’re playing TWO. Ge...

Send us a Message In this episode of Start Talking with Sadie & Scott , the power goes straight to our heads — and we love it. If we ran the world, there would be daily naps, bans on pajama pants in grocery stores, and instant punishment for double parking. We’re rewriting society one petty decree at a time. We also tackle the weirdest news of the week, including: • A missing Paralympian who v...

Send us a Message This week, we’re joined by the powerful and perceptive Michelle Ella Powell, who takes us on a journey through her early life in a strict religious environment, her experience inside a so-called spiritual community that blurred the line into cult territory, and her ultimate path to self-discovery and personal truth. Michelle shares how she rebuilt her beliefs from the ground up,...

Send us a Message In this episode of Start Talking with Sadie and Scott , we dig into the greatest hits from our childhood — specifically, the outrageous lies our parents told us and somehow got away with. From “don’t sit too close to the TV or you’ll go blind” to “cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis” to the classic “we’re just looking” on a trip to Toys R Us, we’re calling out all the gene...

Send us a Message This week on Start Talking with Sadie and Scott , we dig deep into the little things that drive us absolutely insane — and the slightly embarrassing things we secretly love. From loud chewers and slow walkers to our irrational attachment to trashy reality TV and weird snack combos, nothing is off limits. We ask the big questions: Is it wrong to love watching pimple-popping videos...

Send us a Message In this episode of Start Talking with Sadie and Scott , we plan Sadie’s funeral… while she’s very much alive and thriving. Because if you can’t be the star of your own send-off, what’s the point? We cover everything from Sadie’s obituary, her need for people crying and we answer the big questions — like, should there be life sized standees, and can you serve pizza at a wake? Plus...
