Debut of first ever Podcast about Pysanky

I’m thrilled to announce the debut of my Pysanka Power Podcast, launching in collaboration with Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio!
Saving the world one pysanka at a time . . . . ™

Soon you’ll be able to listen to all the Episodes of my Pysanka Power Podcast on your favourite platform. You’ll also be able to hear it on Nash Holos! 
Pysanka Power will debut on the Vancouver edition of Nash Holos today and on the Nanaimo edition on Wednesday, March 13. It will also air on the internationally syndicated edition which broadcasts to 20 countries around the world on AM, FM, shortwave and satellite radio.

If you miss the broadcast, you can catch the podcast of the show at the Nash Holos website www.nashholos.com. As well you can get the audio archives of the Pysanka Power Podcast at my website BabasBeeswax.com.

Wondering about the origins of this podcast? For several years, I’ve collaborated on many projects with my talented friend, Paulette MacQuarrie, who just happens to be the host of Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio. We’ve been friends for decades!

She’s been podcasting her show Nash Holos since 2001, and for a long time now has been encouraging me to get going on a podcast of my own on the topic of pysanky.

Two other things got me motivated as well:

  1. I want to keep current with social media trends such as podcasting; and
  2. There are no existing podcasts about pysanky!
After several brainstorming sessions, the Pysanka Power Podcast was born! The first six episodes will cover the history, legends, and symbols of these precious artifacts. On the practical side, with teaching experience and conducting workshops since 1991, I’ve got more than enough information on tools and techniques, hints, tips and do it yourself projects to tell you about.

The inaugural episode goes through the essentials—what supplies are needed to get started and why they’re needed. In future episodes I’ll tell you about everything from technique to history and symbolism, share stories, legends and fun activities, and provide you with resources to help you explore on your own.

Select this link to go to my website to access the Pysanka Power Podcast. Soon there'll be links to download or stream podcast episodes. As well, there will be a link to subscribe to the podcast with your favourite podcatcher app. I’ll also post the transcripts there for those who would like to follow along.

And don’t forget, the first six episodes of the Pysanka Power Podcast will be broadcast on Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio, from its debut this Saturday until Easter. Tune in Saturdays at 6pm on AM1320 CHMB or stream online at www.am1320.com, and Wednesdays at 11am on CHLY 101.7FM in Nanaimo or online at www.chly.ca.

I hope you’ll check out my Pysanka Power Podcast either on Nash Holos or via my website. If you do, I’d love to get your feedback. Please comment below with your impressions, questions, and suggestions for future episodes.
