A Cortes Island couple has been running a comedy podcast over the past six months and, 30 episodes in, momentum is building. 

“We Can’t Pick a Title” was created by local entertainers Bobbie-Gene Hanson and Jason Thompson and the podcast just reached the milestone of over 1,000 downloads.

Thompson described the process of getting started. 

“I looked around the room and I had the right equipment to be able to do something and plugged some cables in and tried it out. And the whole thing was always, 'as long as we're having fun, we'll keep doing it'…and it's still fun.”

Hanson was surprised by one of the unexpected communication benefits of podcasting with her husband.

“Finding it easier to talk with Jason… you're just there with each other 100 per cent!”

The podcast is geared towards adults, but almost anything is on the table for discussion. Some topics they have discussed in the past 30 comedic episodes include sea creatures, serial killers and the logistics of diabetic vampires. 

The entertaining duo say they are coping with the local fandom.

“We've tried to keep it vague as to where we are, because we don't wanna give it away to hundreds and thousands of fans coming on the ferries and all the fandom...We really were like, ‘let's be considerate of that’,” Bobbie jokes.

BG and JT, as they are known on the podcast, have plans to experiment with the podcast moving forward, including inviting special guests to the show, filming the episodes, and recording on special locations around the island.
