Kinley Coast
This is an Atlantic Canadian focused podcast that will feature topical and culturally interesting discussions and interviews concerning the region. This region of Canada includes the Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island [aka PEI]) and Newfoundland & Labrador. The style of the podcast could be described as a "kitchen gab". Partly because of the informal nature of the content and partly because many of the conversations may actually literally be happening within a kitchen. It won't quite be like a kitchen party, but it certainly won't be like content coming from a Toronto based studio.
Some topics will include:
• Regional history
• Science, technology, and the environment of Atlantic Canada
• Regional, provincial, & federal politics
• Boating & boat building/refitting, sea fairing, living on the coast and water.
• Maritime life, religion, & philosophy of the region
• Tourism, local events & current affairs
Outside listeners will find the program interesting if you're broadening your research on a topic, planning a trip to the area, interested in what makes this part of Canada tick (politically or otherwise) or perhaps you're simply an ex-pat who wants to carry a little piece of home.
There's a lot to cover, so let's start gabbing.

Introduction to the Bluenose legend
Today on the podcast I’m going to try something a little different. First off, the topic for today’s discussion will be all on the Bluenose II. However, instead of having a guest, I thought I’d take a crack at this one myself. I was once a bit of a tour guide for the Bluenose II during the rebuild of the vessel, and then later as a crew member, it’s a topic that has been very interesting to me over the years and one that I just really enjoy speaking about. Just so you know, I do plan on doing other episodes about the Bluenose and her successor in the future, so this one will be more so a response to the FAQ that I remember fielding over the years with the vessel.
On this episode, I'm going to be talking about a bit of the history of the Bluenose, from her days racing to when she ultimately hit a reef and died. Then I will discuss why there's a Bluenose II and what her mission is. Perhaps, after listening to the pod cast, you might know the answer to whether Bluenose II races?
