"Business Beyond Bizarre takes a humorous approach to highlighting some of the lesser-known triumphs of human ingenuity." ~Peter Anthony Holder

NOMINATE A SPOTLIGHT HOST

If you’re in Montreal, how are you doing? I was supposed to help with an event there but my friend who lives in the outskirts of the city advised me to stay put in Toronto due to a severe rain warning. I’m glad I listened! Over this weekend especially Saturday, tropical storm Debby hit the area. In just 24 hours, there was an incredible amount of rain, up to 157 millimetres—which was enough to break the city’s highest one-day rain record.

It was a real flood. The emergency workers were overwhelmed with calls—some even used boats for the flood rescues.

Power outages added to the chaos, which is a huge headache for podcasters I’m sure. At its worst, 550,000 people were without power, though Hydro-Québec promised to restore most connections by the end of yesterday. I hope everyone in the city is safe and that your equipment is intact, protected, and insured.

On a brighter note, speaking of Montreal, today’s spotlight shines on a local podcaster who was featured in Vol.1 of the Northern Voices Podcast List.

Peter has been a devoted member of the Black Canadian Creators Hub Facebook group ever since it was founded about 3 to 4 years ago. I value his input, including his posts with his new episodes.

Alright, Let’s get into Peter Anthony’s creative pod process and get to know him better!


Please, Peter Anthony introduce yourself:

I’m a broadcast veteran with over 40 years of experience, the host of The Stuph File Program, and the creator of the podcast Business Beyond Bizarre. This funny-but-true podcast highlights some of the lesser-known triumphs of human ingenuity, featuring quirky businesses and hobbies. I am also the Podcast Development Collaborator and Delegate Producer at Groupe Fair-Play.

What sparked you to launch/be part of the podcast? How did the concept take shape?
PAH: Business Beyond Bizarre is an offshoot of the online radio show The Stuph File Program, which has been running for nearly 15 years. This podcast takes a humorous approach to highlighting some of the lesser-known triumphs of human ingenuity.

How do you come up with ideas for your episodes and/or find interesting guests?
PAH: It's just the continuation of the process and connections that come with over 40 years of broadcast interviewing history. In Season One, you met unique characters such as the creators of fart spray, Liquid Ass; the founder of the Church of Jediism; the makers of elephant-dung gin; the originator of Goat Yoga; and the creators of Belly Button Beer (made with fermented navel lint!), among others.

Season Two might have outdone itself with guests like the owner of a Lithuanian potato chip company with a flavour that simulates the nether regions of the female anatomy; the operator of Reykjavik’s Icelandic Phallological Museum; and a man who pushed a peanut up a mountain with his nose, to name just a few!

Super curious about the tech behind your podcast? The software and gear you use for recording.
PAH: I have had my home studio for about 20 years. It includes a 14-channel Mackie board, a broadcast-quality Rode mic, proper soundproofing, and recording and editing tools such as Adobe Audition.

Do you have any favourite listener feedback or interactions that stand out?
PAH: The Stuph File Program" has been around for almost 15 years and it was a continuation of a 20-year radio show before it, so the original fan base has been loyal throughout the years. As for "Business Beyond Bizarre" that is newer and a by-product of "The Stuph File Program" so the audience is still growing.

Alright, the final and fun question: What sport do you find silly and have trouble understanding why others enjoy it?
PAH:
In the grand scheme of things, there may be sports that I'm not interested in, I don't think that there are sports that are silly in the general sense. As long as people are passionate about participating and/or watching, then more power to the fans or participants.

SJ: That is the most sportsman answer, 😄 J’adore! Thank you Peter.
