Rain City Line Up Announced!
The line up for the second installment of Rain City Chronicles has been announced! (Coming from a journalism background, that’s not a good leading sentence ’cause it’s past tense. But it’s the sentiment that I’m stressing so forgive me and read on.)
RCC is an on-going storytelling night that was co-founded by Karen Pinchin and Lizzy Karp and me (all pictured above.) Storytellers are given up to seven minutes to tell a story about the evening’s theme. This time around, the theme is luck. It takes place on Monday, March 29th at the Western Front, 7 p.m.
So here’s who’s going to be on the bill:
Actor Nadiya Chettiar
Comedian, activist and author Charlie Demers
CBC Radio 3 host Lana Gay
Communications whiz Pamela Hart
Guardian blogger Colin Horgan
Vancouver Is Awesome founder Bob Kronbauer
Globe and Mail reporter Marsha Lederman
Journalist Erin Millar
Librarian Rebecca Slaven, accompanied by Andre of The Obvious Peaks and Valleys
With musical guest and former P3 interviewee Louise Burns aka Moonshiner!
CANNOT WAIT! ALL CAPS EXCITED!

Episode 20 – The Rape Whistle Fan Club Experience!
Click here and or here to listen to Episode 20 of the People’s Program Project.
Ayma and Elly here. We decided to trepidatiously launch our new project, which might be sketch comedy related. Comedy. What a word.
It’s called Rape Whistle Fan Club and it’s basically us doing a variety of stuff that makes us laugh and hopefully you too.
On this episode we debut the Scat Explosion, a talk show entirely inspired by Randy Bachman’s CBC program Vinyl Tap. (Please click on that link. It’s amazing.)
Thanks to our rowdy but enthusiastic studio audience, Karen Pinchin, Ben Frey and Cam MacLeod.
We’re hoping to get on a bill for our live performance debut some time soon. We’ll keep you posted via the Facebook fan page we’ll inevitably create and force our friends to join.

Episode 18 – The Rain City Chronicles Experience
Click here to listen to episode 18 of the People’s Program Project.
One of the things I’ve been working hard on recently is a storytelling night called Rain City Chronicles. We had our first event on December 1st at Little Mountain Studios. It was a great success. We’ve got nothing but really positive feedback and it seems like the city is ready for this kind of thing. We plan on doing it every season so the next one should be in March. This special episode of P3 features stories by CBC Radio 3‘s Grant Lawrence, who talked about his first experience with a pacific octopus…
Rain City Chronicles co-organizer and freelancer writer Karen Pinchin, who talked about her first time getting in a car with a stranger…
Sex guy and Manhussy‘s Cam MacLeod, who talks about the first time he realized girls go crazy when you’ve had sex with them…
Talent Time‘s Paul Anthony, who talks about his first parentless road trip…
And me. I told a story about the first time I sang with Belle and Sebastian on stage…
Music is by Basil Waugh…
I’ll try to have the second half of the evening out in podcast format by next week. In the meantime, enjoy!
