What's Up Nation with Jessi Cruickshank

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:59:00 -0000

This week, Jann welcomes special guest Jessi Cruickshank, a multi-talented Canadian comedian and podcaster. They discuss the evolution of women in comedy and television looking back at Jessi's time hosting on MTV. They also touch on pop culture, parenting lessons, and dreaming big, with great advice for aspiring entertainers and content creators along the way.

More About Jessi Cruickshank

Jessi was born in Calgary in 1982 but moved to Vancouver at five years old. She did improv in high school alongside names like Seth Rogen and Nathan Fielder and moved to Toronto to attend U of T and set her sights on becoming a VJ. She eventually landed at MTV where she co-hosted The Hills: After Show with Dan Levy.

From there, Jessi went on to host everything from Canada’s Smartest Person to major live events like the Junos. In recent years, she’s built a huge following online with her sharp, very honest take on motherhood, especially after having twins, which led to her hit digital series New Mom, Who Dis? and now her pop-culture podcast Phone A Friend, which frequently tops the comedy charts in Canada.

She’s on to promote Evening Club tour: a dance party designed for women and queer folks who want a great night out without sacrificing the next day.

Recall: Max Kerman from Arkells

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 19:52:00 -0000

Arkells frontman and now author Max Kerman joins the show to speak about his new book ⁠Try Hard: Creative Work in Progress⁠. Jann asks Max about his creative process, the importance of persistence in the arts, and how to navigate the music industry. Max and Jann reflect on true artistic enthusiasm and positivity in creative pursuits, as well as the importance of networking and asking for opportunities. Max also touches on the intricate balance between the creativity and the financial aspects of being an artist, the challenges of navigating social media authentically, and the importance of community engagement. He reflects on the future of music as artists age, the significance of self-reflection, and the impact of their songs on fans.

More About Max Kerman and Try Hard:

Max Kerman is the frontman of the multiplatinum, award-winning touring band Arkells. Try Hard is his first book. Let’s say you see a familiar musician from a globe-trotting, touring band hanging out at your local coffee shop, reading the newspaper and typing away on his laptop. This doesn’t look like a musician at work. He seems approachable enough, so you ask him what exactly he does all day. With a grin on his face, he admits the job might not be what you think. So you take a seat, and ask him every question you’ve ever had about how it all works: the nuts and bolts of writing a song, preparing for a show, marketing a band, and the day-to-day business of a creative life. With each answer—none of it about talent—you realize this musician is a bit of a…try hard. And the mystery of being a creative person isn’t actually mysterious at all: it’s just exploring ideas with an enthusiastic and determined curiosity. Over and over. Max is that musician in the coffee shop, and this is what reading Try Hard feels like: one-of-a- kind tales from a dynamic frontman, and a companion to your own creative work in progress. With a brick-by-brick attitude, Max explores his own growth in the craft of storytelling and performance, the pleasure to be found in collaboration, and the creative spirit required in sharing your art.

Big Hormones, Small Achievable Goals

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 20:30:00 -0000

After a short catch up between the hosts and Caitlin's Olympic coverage in The Scroll, Jann Arden welcomes special guests Meredith McNeil and Jennifer Whalen of CBC's Small Achievable Goals. They share their experiences with menopause and how they factored into the creation of their show. They compare stories that address the challenges of menopause and explore the cultural shifts surrounding women's voices and health discussions. They also discuss te impact of shame on their experiences, the current flourishing state of Canadian television, and the impact of Catherine O'Hara's legacy.

Season two of Small Achievable Goals follows Julie Muldoon (Jennifer Whalen) and Kris Fine (Meredith MacNeill), two very different women navigating friendship and the hormonal hurricane of menopause while trying to keep their new podcast and their sanity intact. Life as the Podcast Folks have known it is upheaved under the ownership of Amanda King (Tamara Podemski) and the company culture of Queen of Kings. What started as a dream job for Kris and Julie quickly becomes a nightmare as they struggle to make an honest, raw and real show about menopause while attempting to navigate the change themselves.

Jennifer Whalen is a writer, actor, improviser, and Showrunner. She is co-creator, writer and star of the comedy series Small Achievable Goals (CBC). She is also one fourth of Baroness von Sketch Show, as a co-creator, writer, star and showrunner of seasons four and five.

She has also worked on The Ron James Show (CBC), The Jon Dore Show (Comedy Network/IFC), and the critically acclaimed Gavin Crawford Show (Comedy Network/Shaftesbury). She originated the role of the Aviatrix in the Tony Award Winning Musical Drowsy Chaperone. She enjoys video games and is easily startled.

Meredith MacNeill is a Canadian showrunner, producer, writer, and actress. She is most known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed series Baroness Von Sketch Show, which was named one of The 10 Best Sketch-Comedy Shows to Stream by Vanity Fair. VOGUE Magazine said, "Baroness Von Sketch Show is the best thing to come out of Canada since Ryan Gosling." Throughout the seasons on CBC and IFC, the show received multiple Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Sketch Comedy Show & Ensemble Performance, an ACTRA Award and a Canadian Comedy Award. Meredith recently wrapped Season 2 of her hit comedy series Small Achievable Goals for the CBC, which she co-created, co-showruns, and co-stars with fellow Baroness alum Jennifer Whalen.

As an actress, Meredith also starred in the CBC series Pretty Hard Cases which earned her multiple Canadian Screen Award nominations. She voices the role of Harper Cutlass in the upcoming feature Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie. Previously she was both a writer and regular cast member in the hit satirical news program This Hour Has 22 Minutes for the CBC.

Surviving The Deep Freeze One Laugh At a Time

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 22:19:00 -0000

Jann, Caitlin, and Sarah start with a little positivity with some personal updates. Jann is recording from Reykjavik, working on her book, while Caitlin recounts heartwarming moments from her son's playdates, and Sarah shares her excitement about winning a Canadian Choice Award for Women in Media Network.

The trio also touches on Alzheimer's Awareness Month, discussing a unique restaurant in Tokyo that employs servers with dementia, creating a space for empathy and understanding.

Caitlin details the concept of 'choppelganger,' a humorous take on lookalikes, and the amusing experiences of being mistaken for someone else.

The also hosts dive into the surprisingly dangerous world of seemingly harmless sports, sharing personal anecdotes; Jann recounts her painful experience with pickleball and even feeding the deer in her yard.

Finally, they consider how they'd feel if they were mislead to believe someone who had hair was actually bald, discussing a man who was sued by his wife for being secretly bald. Would you sue?

Alan Doyle and The Smiling Land

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 21:39:00 -0000

Jann Arden speaks with beloved singer-songwriter and best-selling author Alan Doyle about his new book, The Smiling Land, his love letter to Newfoundland. They discuss the cultural significance of Newfoundland, the influence of music and storytelling, and the connection to Viking history. Alan shares his experiences of touring, writing, and the unique charm of Newfoundland, making it a central character in his works.

More About Alan Doyle:

Alan Doyle is a Canadian musician, actor and writer. His albums as a solo artist and as front man for the Newfoundland Celtic-rock band Great Big Sea have sold over a million copies. He has starred in such features as Ridley Scott's Robin Hood and CBC's Republic of Doyle. He has written three books, Where I Belong, published in 2014, A Newfoundlander in Canada, published in 2017, and All Together Now, published in 2020, each of which were national bestsellers. He has recently co-written and starred in a box-office-breaking stage musical, Tell Tale Harbour. Alan lives in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Few Canadian musicians are as synonymous with their home province as Alan Doyle is to his—and even fewer once worked as tour guides. In The Smiling Land, Alan reprises his tour-guiding role to welcome the rest of Canada to his home and take readers on an adventure: a freewheeling road trip through Newfoundland, its history, and its culture. From Fogo Island to the Southwest Coast, Labrador to Ferryland, and everywhere in between, Alan's Newfoundland awaits you.

We couldn't think of a more perfect guest to welcome than the current leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party (NDP) and the former Mayor of Calgary (2010–2021), Naheed Nenshi!

Big thanks to our friends at Studio Bell for making this evening so special - be sure to visit if you're travelling to Calgary! https://www.studiobell.ca/whats-on

Jann, Caitlin, and Sarah discuss a variety of pop culture topics, including Taylor Swift's engagement to Travis Kelce, Selena Gomez's bachelorette party, and Lil Nas X's wild weekend - that leads to the story of one of Jann's proudest moments (kidding).

Recall: Naomi Klein

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 15:31:00 -0000

Going back to November 2023, this week's recall episode is a conversation with award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, Naomi Klein. Naomi is a syndicated columnist and the international bestselling author and at the time of this recording, she had just released her book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World. From her ⁠website⁠: It’s for anyone who has lost hours down an internet rabbit hole, who wonders why our politics has become so fatally warped, and who wants a way out of our collective vertigo and back to fighting for what really matters. Braiding together elements of tragicomic memoir, chilling political reportage, and cobweb-clearing cultural analysis, Naomi Klein dives deep into what she calls the Mirror World—our destabilized present rife with doubles and confusion, where far-right movements playact solidarity with the working class, AI-generated content blurs the line between genuine and spurious, New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers further scramble our familiar political allegiances, and so many of us project our own carefully curated digital doubles out into the social media sphere.

Josie Balka: Confidence vs. Self-Esteem and the Power of Poetry

Fri, 16 May 2025 21:53:00 -0000

Jann, Caitlin and Sarah welcome poet, influencer and radio host Josie Balka. They discuss Josie's journey into poetry, the impact of aging, vulnerability, and body image, and the process of publishing her debut poetry book, 'I Hope You Remember.' She reflects on the importance of authenticity in her work, the challenges of perfectionism, the joy of celebrating achievements, and the importance of personal connections that fuel creativity. More About Josie Balka: Josie Balka is a broadcaster, voiceover artist, and poet. She holds a diploma in radio, television, and film from Niagara College and has worked for some of the largest media companies in North America as an on-air personality. She can often be caught recording viral poetry in her sound-proof closet. I Hope You Remember, Josie’s first book of poetry, includes over eighty poems, some previously published and others never shared before. Every page in this collection hits home, rhapsodizing on universal experiences like jealousy, family relationships, complex body image, falling in and out of love (with others and yourself), and the ever-changing lens of nostalgia. With sparse, clear prose, Josie’s poetry looks to bring forth deep feelings like grief, envy, apathy, joy, and, most importantly, hope. https://www.instagram.com/josiebalka/

Carl's commitment to mental health advocacy, his active involvement with organizations like Shatterproof and Headstrong, and his holistic approach to wellness, which includes meditation and fitness, reflect his dedication to making a positive impact.

Through his public endeavors and personal achievements, Carl continues to lead and inspire, encouraging open dialogue and transformation in mental health and wellness.

After a difficult few months of processing what happened last summer, Carl is ready to move forward with his life as he focuses on opening a bar & cafe for mindful consumption, Soft Bar. While he cautiously reenters the dating field, not even sharing a house with his pregnant ex-fiancé can bring Carl down.

The Era of Booing

Jann, Caitlin, and Sarah discuss various topics including the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar, the unexpected booing of Taylor Swift, and the relevance of national anthems at sporting events. The conversation somehow turns to a discussion about the popularity of food-based interview formats - please weigh in with a voicenote! What do you think the Jann Arden Podcast version of HOT ONES would be? What should we do?

The conversation shifts to sobriety and the impact of remote work on productivity with some new studies about working from home. This week's question from reddit that we discussed was, what's your GREEN FLAG about a person? Voicenote us about that, too.

Mary Jo Eustace: Senior Bitch Energy

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 23:57:00 -0000

We have one helluva guest for you this week! Jann Arden, Caitlin Green and Sarah Burke welcome television host and best-selling author Mary Jo Eustace. Jann and MJ begin with their origin story, the evolution of their careers, and the challenges and triumphs of aging. They discuss the impact of personal experiences in the public eye, like divorce and public scrutiny, and how they have transformed pain into empowerment. They also discuss the pursuit of purpose in the later stages of life, the excitement of participating in reality TV, the importance of connection and empathy, and the complexities of modern dating.

More About Mary Jo Eustace:

MJ became a household name in Canada in the late ’90s when hosting more than 600 episodes of the cult TV cooking show What’s for Dinner with her co-host, the late Ken Kostick. Later entangled in a tabloid tempest — with her then-husband Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling — she managed to always keep her humour intact and strip-mined her misery for others’ benefit in the funny, poignant survival guide, Divorce Sucks: What to Do When Irreconcilable Differences, Lawyer Fees, and Your Ex’s Hollywood Wife Make You Miserable.

MJ is funny and candid about her own fears (and joys) of getting older, and will offer a no-holds-barred look at embracing the next chapter with honesty, humor, and a healthy dose of self-discovery. As a television host, author, and podcast personality, she has discussed topics like divorce, single parenting, and reinvention, resonating with audiences by offering a mix of wit, honesty, and resilience in navigating tough moments. Her openness about her journey has made her a voice of empowerment for those facing similar struggles.
