Hi.stories of Québec

03/07/2024

Hey everyone! Things got a little crazy but I'll be dropping the last episode on Griffintown soon.

In the meantime, and from now on, I'll share my other historical adventures and some tidbits with you!

Yesterday I visited the old prison in Trois-Rivières. It was not what I expected at all. I learned a lot and took many photos, which I'll post soon.

This was graffiti left by the second last person to be hanged there.

Great news! The script for episode 4 had automatically saved to my onedrive, so I was able to record and edit it. A riot, flooding, and an infamous murder, right here, right now.

Hi everyone. While parked on Mansfield Wednesday night, my car was broken into. Among the items stolen was my laptop, which contained episode 4's script, as well as the original and translation for episode 3. You can hear more about it on the bonus episode I just uploaded.

Thanks for your continued support! I'll be back soon.

Episode 3 is a couple of days late but I'm learning how to edit and embellish, as I go along; let me know what you think!

Alright, folks! There's a lot of room for improvement, I know, but here is episode 1 of the podcast! The French version will be out by tomorrow morning at the latest. You can also download it anywhere you get your podcasts (Except itunes because apple is being apple). Enjoy!

In this very first episode of (Hi)stories of Québec, we'll explore how Griffintown came to be and how it got its name.

Only one week to go and the first episode, on the creation of Griffintown, comes out! You can get it on spotify or amazon. I'm trying to make it available on itunes but apple is neither activating my user ID nor allowing me to create another one so that will have to wait!
