Allusionist at the Planetarium!

Yes! We get to do some live space-themed Allusionisting under a swirling dome of nebulae! I have hoped and dreamed of this for many years. AND your ticket includes a talk by astronomer Marley Leacock about space words like spaghettification.

There are two showings, so you can choose either to see Marley first or the Allusionist first, then swap around; and either side you can peruse the Space Centre’s exhibits and science demonstrations.

Tickets are on sale HERE. Early bird prices until 28 March.

Note: this event is over-19s only.

Accessibility information about the MacMillan Space Centre is here - flat entrance, elevator inside, wheelchair seating.

Masking is encouraged, because we all love not getting colds, covid and RSV.

Vancouver podcaster meetup

Every month or so, Martin and I hold a free get-together for podcasters or wannabe podcasters in the Vancouver BC area. Podcasting can be lonely so it’s nice to hang out with others doing this thing, exchange advice, make friends, and in this month’s case be at a cafe that is participating in the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival.

It’s free, and you can just turn up, but you might want to sign up for a ticket here to be notified just in case any information about the event changes.

Informal meetup for podcasters - whether you're a podcaster old or new, or just starting to think about becoming one, come hang out and get advice, emotional and technological support, and the company of your fellow podcasters.

The event is free and all are welcome, but sign up for a free ticket at Eventbrite here so you'll be notified if there are any changes.

We'll commandeer a section of Cheesecake Etc and try to make ourselves obvious, because that place is large and labyrinthine!
