The Sound Off Podcast

Kristi Lee is the host of Canadian True Crime, a show that has eclipsed 75 million downloads over 200 episodes. I spoke with Kristi about her path that ultimately led her into podcasting. Kristi told me about how a family move and her husband’s love of hockey brought them to Toronto, where she eventually turned her obsession with true crime shows like Casefile and They Walk Among Us into her own podcast in 2016.She tells me about those early days, working late at night after her kids went to bed, teaching herself Audacity and spending a full week crafting her first episode on the Paul Bernardo case. We covered how storytelling has evolved through cases like Cody Legebokoff and Victoria Stafford, and the powerful moment she heard from a victim’s father who appreciated her work.We also got real about monetizing a podcast in Canada, why she chose ACast and dynamic ad insertion to fill a small bucket, and how she’s built a small but trusted team while staying very hands-on. Kristi closes by sharing her plans to tackle complex topics like human trafficking, emphasizing trauma-informed, ethical storytelling and a strong sense of responsibility to victims and communities.Please sign up for the SOUNDING OFF Newsletter. All the things that went unsaid on the show.Also we added the Sound Off Podcast to the The Open Podcast Prefix Project (OP3) A free and open-source podcast prefix analytics service committed to open data and listener privacy. You can be a nosey parker by checking out our downloads here.Thanks to the following organizations for supporting the show:Megatrax - Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Julian Nieh is Julian on the Radio,and traces his radio career that’s from Washington, DC to major markets like Chicago, Seattle, Las Vegas, and the future. He recalls falling into radio through an internship, doing everything from promotions and street stunts to last‑minute board‑opping that led to his first on‑air shifts. Matt and Julian geek out on the magic of 90s radio and MTV, the emotional pull of that era’s music, and the power of creating anticipation and memorable moments for listeners.Julian reflects on influences like Elliot in the Morning, Donnie Simpson, and his time at B96 Chicago, where supportive local leadership let him take creative risks and win industry awards. The conversation digs into culture vs. corporate realities, the loneliness of modern radio, and why curiosity, empathy, and connection still matter more than polish. Matt & Julien also talked about the shifting impact of social media, podcasting, and sales acumen, and Julian’s search for a role that truly aligns. Check out his demo here.Also I mentioned that I would suggest a few conferences radio people could check out if they wanted to expand their horizons. I was going to just mention a couple but I forgot about a few of the obvious ones:Podcast Movement at SXSW: (FREE) Now has a presence there thanks to Bryan Barletta and Tom Webster's direction.VidCon: Video Creators galore.Twitchcon: You're gonna love RotterdamSocial Media Marketing World: You'll learn how to make prettier posts.Please sign up for the SOUNDING OFF Newsletter. All the things that went unsaid on the show.Also we added the Sound Off Podcast to the The Open Podcast Prefix Project (OP3) A free and open-source podcast prefix analytics service committed to open data and listener privacy. You can be a nosey parker by checking out our downloads here.Thanks to the following organizations for supporting the show:Megatrax - Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brittany Grunig, whose journey through Canadian country radio perfectly illustrates why one should bel bullish on radio’s future. Brittany shares how growing up in small-town Nova Scotia, studying marketing at Holland College, and stumbling into a radio internship led to gigs at Ocean 100, K-Rock, and CFCY, before a chance interview booking helped her leap to New Country 94 in Ottawa.We talk about her rapid evolution from on-air host to Music Director and eventually Regional Program Director at Bell, navigating competitive markets, the infamous hit/non-hit regulations in Ottawa, and how she used creativity, artist relationships, and a passion for Canadian country to build compelling stations and shows.Brittany then explains why she moved on from corporate radio, how motherhood reshaped her priorities, and why she’s now energized by working with My Broadcast Corporation in Kingston. Her optimism about fiercely local, community-first radio will make you rethink what’s possible for the next 10 years of audio.I mentioned during the show that I once had country superstar Meghan Patrick on a podcast.

Traci DeForge is the founder of Produce Your Podcast and co‑founder of the Podcast Professionals Association—and unpacks her journey from radio prodigy to podcast entrepreneur. Traci shares how rapid consolidation in radio, a burnout moment in 2004, and a leap into business strategy led her to launch a broadcast‑quality podcast in 2016 that grew into a full‑service production agency. She said so before the recording started but she is audio first. Audio remains powerful (theater of the mind), video is useful for discovery but shouldn’t replace audio, and podcast SEO—especially detailed show descriptions—drives discoverability. Traci also stresses monetization through host‑led promotions, the value of guest appearances for visibility, and the legitimacy of archiving a show when its purpose has run its course. For podcasters seeking practical wins: update your show description, prioritize audio quality, and consider guest booking to amplify reach. Listen to the episode to the end and get all the excellent tips.Twice in this episode we mentioned the late Todd Cochrane.

I attended PodSummit YYC in Calgary back in September—a creator-driven event reminiscent of the early days of Podcast Movement. Supported by Amazon / Art 19 and highlighted by an outstanding keynote from Jesse Lipscomb, the event buzzed with meaningful conversation about podcast discoverability and monetization.The hoser factor was high for this event. It was great meeting Alex Patterson from YouTube Canada, who offered great insights on integrating podcasts into YouTube and stressing sound quality. I was fascinated by Canadian podcast stats, learning that Alberta is the only province with more female listeners, and wondering aloud if Alberta is the podcasting capital of Canada. It was wonderful connecting with industry talents and sharing ideas.

Alan Zweig's new podcast is called "Tubby". It's a unique show that explores conversations about weight, body image, and self-esteem, and not a typical self-help podcast. Together with Alan Black, (Left Of Dial Media) the show approaches the topic with authenticity and humour, focusing on storytelling rather than providing solutions.They've intentionally kept the podcast audio-first, while still considering video; for marketing purposes naturally.

There are a few Instagram accounts that operate anonymously. Now comes a podcast that is somewhat anonymous. A 15 year radio pro dubbed "Radio Girl" reveals enough about herself to tell us why she has embarked on this project, and also showing us that while the podcast's artwork is AI, she definitely is a real person. She shares candid insights about the challenges of working in radio, including toxic workplace dynamics, sexual harassment, and the the dysfunctional relationships. She explains her decision to create an anonymous show as a way to process her experiences and provide a platform for honest conversations about radio's behind-the-scenes realities.I asked her about her motivation for creating the podcast as a personal creative outlet, her experiences of sexual harassment in the workplace, the challenges faced by women in radio, and whether this show can this show be a contributor to positive change.Follow Up On The PodcastThe podcast went bye-bye after 2 episodes. Who knows what happened? My guess is that audio might have been a little too revealing to be truly anonymous. I certainly hope that the host finds a way to tell her stories. Thanks to the following organizations for supporting the show:Nlogic - TV & Radio Audience Data SolutionsMegatrax - Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.Podderapp: Where podcasters can get access to their advanced data dashboard here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
