  • Fascinating Interviews

    Listening to this podcast, I've found myself having quite a few 'driveway moments,' where I parked the car at home not willing to get out because I wanted to hear the end of the guest's story. Jesse is a fantastic host and always keeps the energy up and the conversation moving.

    I learn a lot with every episode. Keep those great guests coming! Lise Pelletier was particularly interesting. I’m half Québécois and half Acadian. I didn’t know much about that Acadian side until the episode with Lise.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FCL News 5-19 & Dr. Brendan Shanahan Preview
Q: I was hoping there might be a fun story of some person at a hotel being very disappointed when you checked in, expecting to see former NHL star Brendan Shanahan.
There are several fun and funny stories to my name; I am named after a famous hockey player, which often leads to confusion, and I share anecdotes about people mistaking me for that player, but I clarify who I am.
Episode 116 - The Acadian Expulsion Memorial List Project with Nicole Gallant-Nunes
Q: What makes this memorial list valuable for descendants?
It provides concrete identifiers—names, spouses, children, birth and death details, last known locations—so people can locate cousins and understand their ancestors' journeys, not just abstract losses.
Episode 116 - The Acadian Expulsion Memorial List Project with Nicole Gallant-Nunes
Q: How did the scope of the project grow beyond your initial idea?
Starting from a personal memorial list in my family research, the project expanded as I traced more records, census data, ship manifests, and local histories, ultimately reaching over 5,000 names and counting.
Episode 116 - The Acadian Expulsion Memorial List Project with Nicole Gallant-Nunes
Q: What inspired you to create the Acadian Expulsion Memorial List?
I wanted to move beyond the general statistic of thousands displaced and give individual names and stories to the people who were lost, so descendants can see their direct connections and the human cost of the expulsion.
Episode 115 - French All Around Us Volume 2 with Dr. Kathleen Stein-Smith
Q: How do you determine the order in which the authors appear in the book, and is that approach different from Volume 1?
The ordering is largely driven by the editors' perspective and vision for storytelling; while some decisions are logistical, the aim is to curate a coherent flow that balances voices and themes, with alphabetization or other criteria playing a role at times, depending on the edition.
