Welcome to the Mess Hall Podcast, part of the @albertapodnet powered by @atbfinancial.

Today Avery and Lena try Blueberry Cheerios, Kisses cereal and Shreddies with Granola. Then we  open a box of Turkish snacks.

With Pod Power, ATB is making it possible for us to amplify the voices of Albertans and Alberta podcasters. This episode, we’re giving a Pod Power shout out to: A TALE OF TWO WEEKLIES

A Tale of Two Weeklies is a documentary podcast series that digs into the rise and fall of Edmonton’s SEE Magazine and Vue Weekly, two alt-weeklies engaged in a newspaper war that neither survived. 

You can find A Tale of Two Weeklies wherever pods are cast, or visit taleoftwoweeklies.blubrry.net

This episode of The Mess Hall Podcast is brought to you by NorthwestFest, Canada’s longest running non-fiction film festival.

NorthwestFest can’t happen in a movie theatre this year, but the show must go on, and it will!

From May 8th to the 17th, Alberta residents can stream a selection of outstanding documentary films to their homes through NorthwestFest. 

• Bee Nation, which tells the stories of six students competing in Canada’s first spelling bee for First Nations.
• My Darling Vivian, the story of Johnny Cash’s first wife and the mother of his four daughters

All films are geo-locked for viewing in Alberta only, so you have to live here to see them.

Buy your tickets today at www.northwestfest.ca. Remember, the festival ends May 17, so don’t delay.
