Kattie Laur: Pod The North

<p>On this week's edition of "Producers Interviewing Producers," we've got Kattie Laur, a podcast producer from the Toronto area. But she's more than just that. In fact, the main subject of this episode is her newsletter, <a href="https://podthenorth.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pod The North.</a></p><p>Pod The North is designed around the idea of creating a community for Canadian podcasters, since in all her years of working with audio, she noticed there wasn't really a space or a resource for us Canucks to come together and talk about podcast stuff. So what could she do, but create one herself? She also works freelance for <a href="https://www.canadaland.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Canadaland</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.radio-canada-online.com/cfmj-am-talk-radio-am640" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AM640 radio</a> in Toronto.</p><p>We speak with Kattie about all these things, before getting into a hefty discussion about Bill C-11 and whether or not we think it'll actually lead to a positive change in the Canadian media space (Spoiler alert: we're doubtful).</p><p>For more of Kattie, check out her <a href="https://www.kattielaur.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a> or follow her on <a href="https://twitter.com/PodKatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or <a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/kattielaur" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn.</a> And if you haven't already, definitely join the <a href="https://podthenorth.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pod The North newsletter</a> on Substack.
