Somewhat Bland Substance: Recent Episodes
Somewhat Bland Substance
Hosted by Scott Mitchell, this podcast talks about daily life. Potentially in the most mediocre ways possible.
A lot of talk about the good that's come since the inauguration of Biden down in the States... we also chat about bad (from an Alberta standpoint, I guess), and we do another round of the Music Meeting with both Tim from The Tim Gavin Show and Bailey from Glad You Came.

We had a week in Canadian politics... and I apparently had more to say than just on my radio show. That, Still The Number One from... last year!?, and more!
Tim Gavin joins Scott for the first FULL co-hosted episode of Somewhat Bland Substance!
It was an episode worth having, this is one you don't want to miss... the 2 hours is worth it!
I took a bit of time off from the podcast to re-group and continue getting myself organized in Camrose, but back with another edition of Still The Number One to tie us over... full show coming (hopefully) next week!
...he says after healthcare workers start striking this morning. That, a look back on 1984 in music, and more in this week's Still The Number One.
New surroundings, a new place, a new episode! We do another round of the music meeting, talk about moving in a pandemic, and the 5th of year of 2020 so far!
As I still get settled in Camrose, I still wanted to have SOMETHING for an episode this week. I'm joined with my buddy Tim Gavin to discuss some awesome albums released back this week in 1982.
After an unplanned 2-week hiatus, and actually having the first version of this podcast done, life happened. In this episode we talk about coordinating a move in a pandemic, how the first couple weeks of school have gone, and do another Music Meeting.
We're more cognizant these days as to what people around us are doing it seems. Also the separatist movement continues in Alberta, and school is back in session. We'll also have another edition of The Music Meeting.
Conservative leadership announcement yesterday was kind of a mess, and winter's going to be a mess... so whaddup 2020?
Also, Still The Number One going back to 2009!
No work and no events means I'm being lazy this summer... so here's the first episode in a few weeks. We talk about masks again, CERB coming to an end, and debut a new segment called "The Music Meeting" with Tim Gavin
It's been so nice outside, and I have a million other excuses. Taking a break from the podcast this week, but we can't let audio go to waste! On "Still The Number One", Tim Gavin and I take a look at the first year the Civic Holiday was celebrated in Alberta: 1974.
It's sunny. It's hot. It's glorious. Here's some thoughts from my cool down in my basement on the gym during COVID, the potential for a vaccine to be out by the end of the year, and cases in sports teams already.
A couple of serious conversations everyone has been having lately, and there's also good news when it comes to a COVID vaccine. We also head to 1969 for Still The Number One.
This may seem like an episode full of best-ofs, but in reality, this is fresh content. Just similar arguments that I've had to make in the past because people still aren't getting it.
After a forced month hiatus, we're back! Scott tells you why he's been gone, and reflects back on the last couple of weeks.
There's a lot going on in the world this week that Scott takes a look at, especially with the protests originating in the US. Also, going back to 2013 on Still The Number One.
This week we talk about whether Alberta was ready to re-open things or not. Also whether Toronto was ready for things to be relaxed... and people complaining about "sheeple". Also, joined by Tim Gavin for another edition of Still The Number One, where we look back on 1980... more specifically in the UK.
In this episode, we take a look at the first few days of restrictions being eased and the economy being reopened in Alberta. Also, This Week In Florida, and a Still The Number One feature with my pal Tim Gavin, looking back on this week in 2001. We also talk about the changing music trends from decade-to-decade as part of that.
In this week's episode, Scott chats about a comment made in a press conference last week, as Alberta prepares to reopen the economy this week. Also Joe Exotic, Nicolas Cage as Joe Exotic, and Jimmy Fallon as Nicolas Cage as Joe Exotic.
It's two words you've heard many times during the COVID-19 pandemic: cautiously optimistic. Really, it's the theme of 2020. In this episode, Scott takes a look at reopening the economy, murder hornets, the return of Florida man, and more.
A wide range of conversations in the latest episode. We chat about the Stronger Together show that aired this weekend, flooding in Fort McMurray, rollbacks to changes in Alberta for rural healthcare specifically, and more. I was also joined by my pal Tim Gavin for a new breakaway segment called "Still Number One".
A senseless act of violence in Nova Scotia, doctors in Lac La Biche handing in a resignation letter from hospital privileges, and the world coming together at a safe distance while using music as therapy. The news doesn't stop in a pandemic, and Scott offers his take on all these things, plus Tiger King.
