So much is happening and so much nothing is happening! Here is a second remote-recorded episode, with one host in the studio and the other in East Anglia. Since recording, the idiot foreign correspondent has been repatriated to Canada, safely and in once piece, to begin quarantine. MORE LIKE BORE-ANTINE. We’re doing our best.…

Desperate times call for special measures. The Sea Hags are back, albeit remotely, to bring you a bi-continental chat about friendship in the time of ugghhhhhhhhh.

Hoist yer butt right up to the noozle! An OG hag joins us this week, Michelle Wishart, a guest nearly three years in the making – she corroborates our whale story (how validating), and describes her erotic encounters with Prince Adam of Eternia. NSFP not safe for parents.

Right off the top, let’s be clear that the title is not some historical reference, we begin with C bombs right away and it does not stop! Those delicate of ear, turn away! We live for spicy water, highway terlets, and scheming. We debrief our self-sustaining travel and fantasize the ultimate solo trips.…

Perhaps our first guest whose name is also a sentence, comedian Gina Harms cooks with us in the solar oven that is our studio shanty shack in the summer. She sells seashells. She schools us about modern classic The O.C. (mmmm whatcha say), and we grill her on her fantasy adoptive parents.

Karen New, composer and one member of our White Knuckling the Dodger chorus, is in the (literally, extremely, very) hot seat this week. She joins us to muse about the relationship between one’s taste and one’s skill in art, and the paralysing fear of feedback. Buzzwords for this episode - Awkwardtunity, polyphony, flugelhorn.…

Our guest this week is a beam of light in human form, it’s the wonderful, vulnerable, talented Megan Phillips! We half-celebrate, half-bemoan the demise of Vancouver restaurants with distinctly hostile service, confuse a Burger King sign for the full moon, and squeal over bullet journals. Megan juggles an imaginary soceress’s bosom and explains Dol…

Chris had an enriching, exciting week, and Katie just has… her period. It’s a hilarious blend of disparate energies until we start spitballing all the various and sundry ways that we could make our podcast be not such a bad podcast. Or, to use more positive terminology, how to make something that actually has an elevator pitch. What would you do if…

Il n'y a pas d'invité cette semaine! Just us chickens, lounging by the Jersey Stretch Shore. We have recorded ourselves supposedly “turning over a new leaf”, a move that will surely serve to embarrass us when we are invariably back on our respective bullshit later. Physical, practical, and metaphorical cleansing occurs between blasting the Goofy Mo…

We’re getting gother than usual this week with newly minted Death Doula, Chelsey Blair! We discuss doula-ing at the beginning and end of life (and how it’s messed up there’s no doula for all the tough stuff in between), Medical Assistance in Dying, and the sorry business of regrets. We also make time to bully pompous academics while BEING pompous a…

Well, well, well, look who finally visited from the BIG CITY, it’s big city bigshot Kaitlin Fontana! She just got off a plane from NYC (hey, i’m flyin’ here!) and came right to the shack to catch us up on all the glorious debauchery she’s currently involved in, such as showing a pilot at Sundance, getting women hired into creative positions, and… o…

This week, we’re joined by local stand-up darling Randee Neumeyer! We discuss true crime (obviously, we’re 3 women on a podcast), ghost stories, being a food services shithead, and how Randee’s dad has only ever cried once–over a youtube video of a lion. Go see Randee’s monthly show The List at Little Mountain Gallery in East Van! It’s on this Frid…

Super cool babe Marta Wesselhoff join us for her second turn on the show. We recollect Canadian PSAs to American expat Marta’s confusion (blessed are they who know not Astar), unpack the ghost-angel dichotomy, and throw Chris in the ocean for her own good. Cover up your downstairs mouth, because Marta is a cop. No, wait, she’s not a cop. Is she? Be…

We are better Red than dead with our 2nd time guest, Red Heartbreaker! We remember our first email addresses, get the chardanotes on chardonnay, pop plosives, and bemoan the grossness of feelings. Red tells us about her experience with EMDR for trauma (tw for folks dealing with PTSD), and we look for temples for the secular life.…

Lauren Martin returns for her third visit to the podcast, having made a small human in the intervening period! We hit our most stereotypical points - astrology, mindfulness, witch camp, negative feelings, mom fights and how hard it is to make art. Lauren is pitching her short documentary to Storyhive, so check it out here! Voting starts April 3rd!…

?Standup comic and man with a barbeque AND a penis (we think that’s hetero for cis?) Gavin Clarkson joins us to flail around to create ANY content. Gavin and Katie’s bad show was cancelled the evening of our recording and we’re riding that wave of fail vibes. We develop our most condensed identities–horny scienceman, “lady” protester, and West Wing…

After an extended absence and some banked shows, the gals are back in town! No guest this week, because we haven’t seen each other in a month and have so much to catch up on. We’re talkin’ travel, and all the challenges and benefits getting the hell out of dodge can bring. Chris relates her relaxing jaunt down the Oregon Coast, and Katie spews all …

Jackie Hoffart returns to the podcast this week for a sedate lil visit, and we discover just how much of a wild and wonderful life she’s lived! Since her last episode, she’s chalked up a few major life milestones, and we consider how these kinds of events should be what she terms Life Save Points–you can go back if you screw it up! Oh, if only. We …

We are talking accessibility this week with the marvelous Laurie Landry, an artist and a real, honest to goodness Deaf person! She’s the first to point out the irony of her appearing on an audio medium, but as you can see, we’ve transcribed the whole durn thing. Laurie discusses her love of TV and film, and the lack of adequate accommodation–those …

We’ve got a token Straight White Man on our lineup this week, welcome Matt! Haha. Welcome Mat. Matt. You get it. We’re surprised the olympics happened, we get VERY regional and describe the tri-cities, and we get into that good good masculinity talk with a dip into Netflix’s new Queer Eye (Matt loves Antoni, SURPRISE). Katie is, as usual, a sexy ge…

It’s nothing but bird sex and personality tests this week, because those are the primary fascinations of our guest, three timer Eryn! Whole lotta bird dink, whole lotta Myers-Briggs.

Oh wow. One HUNDRED episodes are in the bag, and we could think of no one better to ring in the occasion with than the sublime Katie-Ellen Humphries. We go ham on some soda water, and discuss the lesser liked Victoria-area band Hot Hot Poop, hopeful comedy, the douchebag reign of Jayden Bacey, fingering, and how to be the dickhead you want to see i…

For something as prestigiously numbered as episode 99, we wanted a guest who was old enough to remember Wayne Gretzky’s cup run with the Oilers, and we are blessed with the 508 year old (and newly minted doctor of philosophy) Nicholas Smyth. Katie and Nick revisit some dank friendship memes from the shared horrors of a punk rock tour van, Chris is …

Here begins our march towards episode 100, and folks… we have some incredible guests lined up, starting with the incomparable, irreducible (she’s her own person) - ABBY SHUMKA! Her podcast, Fashion Hags, launched at the same time as we did, and when we reached out over the name similarities, we were taken with her sweetness and determined to get he…

Nobody here but us chickens this week, so we take free rein to be as insufferable as possible, hitting all of our regular points–journalling, tarot, and mental health management. Old ladies like new appliances and brand name post-its, thankyouverymuch.

Our large hilarious ginger son Steev Letts is on the podcast this week to talk scalp massages, hot dummies, cuddle porn, and the perils of vertical orgasms. Bathe in the raw sensuality of the man who describes himself alternately as a “sweaty, bored bumlover”, and in possession of “the legs of Tina Turner with the torso of Andy Richter”. Check out …

Longtime local web celeb Malloreigh is our guest this week! The originator of the term “vanmnesia”, she rides a fixed gear bike into our hearts to talk about fitness and the beautiful supportive space that is queer sports leagues - inspiring us all to move our bods more this year. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Mable league!…

A little episode today, recorded overtop of a drum rehearsal for our epic NYE soiree (from which we are presently recovering). Keeping commitments! Just some hopes and goals for twenty-create-teen. Enjoy!

A patchwork report from Chris’s Christ-mas 33rd birthday party, we check in with fond faves such as Mom! Friends! Alcohol! And that East Van staple, vegan curry. Pls enjoy and we shall see you in the new year.

This week has three podcast nerds getting a bit meta as Taylor Moorey joins us to talk shop and wax poetic about the pain of a Big Ask in one’s art. Our lack of a theme gets challenged while we play “What Kind of Boat Are You”, solve the mystery of the Zodiac killer (it was an inflatable motor boat the whole time), and determine that Scottish dolph…

Yeah, two episodes in a row without a guest, it is goddamn December and we’re hangin’ on by a fine, golden thread. What are YOU gonna do about it? Sorry, sorry. We’re actually somewhat jolly in this episode, which has significantly more Gowan-based content than usual, so, uh, enjoy that, I guess.

A second week in a row on location, this time in the riverside shack! The gals are alone and so wiped out that, at one point, Chris forgets we even have a podcast, let alone are currently recording one… It’s COMPLAINAMANIA! We still don’t like the weather.

Threepeat guest Noel is back with us–or are we with her??–on this very special episode that has us out of the shack and in the warm embrace of her Nanaimo-based castle. We fight through a hangover to bring you chats about assault and restorative justice (cw for every sex assault case in the media presently), cooking, canning, and showing up those h…

The fantastic and hilarious comedian Amber Harper-Young joins us this week to examine rude teens, beating up your friends, Oasis, the best mid-90s Angelina Jolie movie, and whether or not we’re all terrible aunts. As always, we’re encouraging people to embrace the Northern European traditions of coziness as we fight off seasonal depression–Amber su…

Our first guest ever on the podcast finally returns, it’s Emily Wight! She’s been deep in the creation, production and release of her 2nd cookbook, Dutch Feast, which you can get from local bookshops like Pulp Fiction or Book Warehouse (and other independent booksellers like Costco, Amazon and Target). We discuss our preferences in mushes, hygge/ge…

The biological son of the Monopoly man, sweet Colin Sharp is a comic here in Vancouver and listener, he’s got a cold. But it’s off-brand NeoCitran to the rescue, and we dig into his artistic origins, chat about bombing on the road, zucchini races, and placenta encapsulation. None of us have a baby. Catch Colin every Tuesday at the Granville Island …

No guest for this very special (hah! it’s not) halloween episode; we talk costumes past and present, candy rankings, and Babadooks on ecstasy. Commercials that we thought we dreamed up turn out to be real, so do what you will, but don’t rattle me bones!

In a shocking return to the podcast, Steve Venegas has since gained a(n adorable) daughter and rid himself of one gnarly ball. We don’t think the two things are related. This is the harrowing story of the latter, and we’re once again spellbound by Steve’s raw storytellling style. This one’s a nailbiter! You’d bestes check yer testes!…

Our pal Ashley is back for a threepeat chat after a dreary and dreadful week, in which the high point for Katie and Chris was getting a haircut. Look, there's a lot of shit going on and we're fired up feminists at the best of times, right now, we're almost too wiped out to generate the appropriate amount of rage. Ashley comes through with artisanal…

Famous dog mom, comedian, and holistic nutritionist Alicia Tobin is our guest this week, and we are agog at our own luck that she a) was willing to hang out with us, and b) let us record it. Well-known as an exceptionally funny and silly lady, she also gets super deep and real about self-worth, shame, and the orthodoxy of minimalist living. On the …

Tarot pro Sharon Pink joins us this week to talk perception, ritual, and summer camp for fully-grown witches! We look at the different ways tarot and magic can complement self-work like therapy and exercise, and how to create perspective where there was none before. Bonus ep sees Katie get read, and get read she does.…

Since we love nothing so much as arbitrary milestones, let’s call this episode the 2nd anniversary of the creation myth of the Sea Hags. We recount some adventures in the ride-or-die aspect of our relationship, the vulnerability factor of different art forms, and what pure joy it would be to give up and swathe ourselves forever in Costco-exclusive …

Man of lascivious vintage tastes–and now a man of letters–nearly-Dr. Justin O’Hearn returns to the podcast with a butane torch and an attitude. JK, he’s super sweet and perfect, and we have a wonderful afternoon gab about the Great British Bake Off, Back to the Future, and the aquatic propulsion of scallops. In a first for the Sea Hags, we have des…

An early ep this week, in order to put some fire under this WICKED Vancouver Fringe show–not that it needs our help–50 Shades of Dave, an erotic parody of the Vinyl Cafe. The writers, Kyle Carpenter and Nico Dicecco, the latter of whom stars as the dearly departed Stuart MacLean, provide untold stories of Dave and Morely. We bite the Inside the Act…

On beat for the threepeat, our girl Allison is back to sweat, chat, and sip on some fine tequila cocktails as we start to tie up the loose ends of our fabulously dirtbag summer. Chris and Alli get a touch teary over their band’s farewell show (Everybody Kissed Goodbye!), and Katie drags the whole fall lineup of Forever 21?s plus size store.…

Our guest this week is a sweet lil fidget spinner and a hilarious comedian, it’s Pam Choi! We long for the days of celebrity death hoaxes, we love to eat alone, and we’ve determined that there are three basic roles a person can play – Grill Daddy, Corn Mommy, or Cream Baby. It’s not as disgusting as it sounds. Mostly.…

A surprising chick lit bait-and-switch inspires a fiery convo between your hosts about standing up for yourself and others, and the space that’s freed up by no longer giving a fuck. No guest, but a whole lot of rustled jimmies.

Comedian and professional roustabout Chris James joins us in the shack this week to talk about his new life’s work: Antagonizing bigoted radio show hosts for fun and (hopefully) profit! Creative resistance and attention-seeking? You know we’re on board.

Charming male comic (and secret spooky girl) San Aung joins us to talk about house party movies, anime cons and sad girl pop. San records his dating profile, Katie insists that Bill Clinton is not the king of Thailand, Chris nearly dies in a waterfall. The Human Rights Commission is back, in POG form!…

Guestless and restless smack dab in the middle of summer, we enjoy a bit of catch-up and navigate some life changes. We enter the realm of fantasy by designing our ideal shared pied-à-terre, and Katie once more electrocutes herself live on the air. Quality programming.
