***Q&A with the creator***

What inspired you to create this podcast?

I was born in Romania and spent most of my childhood there, but my family immigrated to Canada before I had a chance to learn Romanian history in school. More than a decade later, I wanted to really understand the cultural legacies carried by my family as well as the experiences of the individuals and communities from that little part of the world from which I came. With my love of narrative history podcasts, I decided to create one of my own to share these stories with the wider world in English.

How long did it take you to make the podcast?

I spent eight months researching for the first season before writing the first episode, and I continued to do research as I produced each episode. On average, it takes me about 20 hours of work every week to research, write, edit, record, mix, and publish new episodes—more if I have to draw maps too. It takes a lot of time, but I want to deliver a polished product every time so that people don’t have to think about the craft behind it and can simply enjoy a well-told story.

What are some of your other projects?

I also write short stories and have been published in yolk literary magazine in Montreal. Whenever I have spare time, I do creative writing, and I’ll share stories in the future for those who are interested.

Where can listeners learn more about you?

I put all of the podcast’s related resources on its website: http://www.ahistoryofromania.com/

Extra content that doesn’t make it into the episodes goes on the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/people/A-history-of-Romania/61556881212545/) and will also be shared on Bluesky in the future (https://bsky.app/profile/ahistoryofromania.bsky.social).

Medical Humanities | Part 5 of 5 | HOLLYWOOD Medical Mysteries: Top 5 Medical Myths in Movies and TV Shows

Are you enjoying the “Medical Humanities Podcast”?  If so, then please thank the creator, Eve Elliot, by supporting her on Patreon (patreon.com/evesgardencomfortaudio) or gifting her a one-time tip of appreciation (buymeacoffee.com/eveelliot).

The Top 5 Medical Myths in this episode include:

  • Surviving Bomb Blasts
  • Falling into Water
  • Being Knocked Out
  • Childbirth
  • Cardiac Emergencies

***Q&A with Eve Elliot***

What inspired you to create this podcast?

I’m a writer and professional voiceover artist, but at one time I was on the path to medical school. My fascination with medicine and my love of history, literature, and art seemed very disparate at first, until I discovered the wonderful world of medical humanities. I love delving into the medical aspects of historical events and figures, or how medical science often intersects with art and literature.

How long did it take you to make the podcast?

Each episode takes several days to research, write, and produce.  My average is about a week from start to finish, although some episodes can take much longer, depending on the amount of research involved.

What are some of your other projects?

I am currently completing a romance novel with the help of Patreon supporters (at patreon.com/eve_elliot) and I also create and record soothing comfort audios to help listeners relax, de-stress and sleep, narrate gentle audiobooks like Emma, by Jane Austen, and perform classic short stories (at patreon.com/evesgardencomfortaudio)

Klondike Gold Rush | Part 7 of 7: Klondike Perspectives from Hollywood & Special Guests (original episodes 21, 12, 16)

Are you enjoying this podcast series?  If so, then please thank the creators, Keith Halliday and Pascale Halliday, by sending them a donation of gratitude: https://www.klondikegoldrush.org/support-the-show

Visit the Klondike Gold Rush website for photos, background info, and to learn more about the creators: https://www.klondikegoldrush.org/

Peek at Keith Halliday’s books, Moonshadows (a Yukon-noir climate thriller) and Aurore of the Yukon (children’s adventure stories set in the Klondike Gold Rush): https://www.keithhalliday.com/

***Q&A with the Creators***

What inspired you to create this podcast?

Pascale and I both love narrative history podcasts by people like Mike Duncan (History of Rome) and were inspired to do something about our home region’s big historical event, the Klondike Gold Rush.  I have been telling family stories from the Gold Rush to Pascale since she was a little girl, and by 2019 she was studying history at university.

How did you create the podcast?

We created what we called a “podcast cave” in our basement with carefully hung beach towels and ceiling pads. We purchased a Yeti microphone to go with our Mac and Garageband. A local Yukon radio host gave us some tips on acoustics and recording.

It worked quite well, except for one episode where we wanted to interview First Nation elder Bill Webber. Since it was the pandemic and we were worried about his health, we did this one by phone (which has a few audio issues!)

How long did it take you to make the podcast?

We decided to do it just before the pandemic and started to research and write. Then the pandemic hit, so we kept working on it through our first episode in May 2020.  18 months later, in November of 2021, we wrapped the last episode.  So it was about two years in the making.

What are some of your other productions?

We recorded an audiobook version of my first book Aurore of the Yukon, which is in schools in Canada and the US.   Pascale’s sister Aline recorded the book, which is aimed at Grade 4 readers and listeners (plus listeners of all ages, since as someone who has read a lot of books to my children I know the importance of making it interesting to adults as well!).  Currently, I’m recording the audiobook version of my new book Moonshadows.  The book is available here: https://www.keithhalliday.com/

How would donations from listeners help you?

The donations would help us to cover the costs of podcast file hosting services, as well as, allow us to purchase a more sophisticated microphone set-up.  As a result, that would then help us to create a follow-up podcast series about the Alaska-Canada boundary dispute of 1903.  This new series would feature Teddy Roosevelt and a cast of other fascinating characters.  Kind donations are accepted here: https://www.klondikegoldrush.org/support-the-show
