Jann Arden Podcast

Hosted by Jann Arden

Iconic Canadian singer-songwriter Jann Arden and her two co-hosts chat with friends and notable guests about life, creativity, and culture.

The brief

A personality-driven talk show that feels like eavesdropping on witty, heartfelt friends. One week, Jann and her co-hosts interview a Canadian actor about their craft and career; the next, they're candidly discussing their own housing crises, relationships, and political frustrations. It's a blend of celebrity access and relatable, everyday life, held together by the hosts' warm, multi-generational chemistry.

The three-host dynamic is central; Jann is the star, but co-hosts Caitlyn Green and Sarah Burke are true peers in the conversation, sharing their own lives and asking substantive questions. This format allows the show to pivot seamlessly from a formal interview to a personal chat show, creating a uniquely intimate and varied listening experience.

What you'll be asked on this show

How Jann Arden interviews

Interviews are conducted as a group conversation involving Jann and her two co-hosts, Caitlyn Green and Sarah Burke. The dynamic is less of a formal Q&A and more of a warm, peer-to-peer discussion. Jann often opens by enthusiastically introducing the guest and their work, sometimes mentioning how she discovered them. The hosts frequently share their own personal anecdotes and reactions, which encourages guests to open up. A signature closing move is to ask guests a 'mental health moment' question about their self-care routines.

The show alternates between two main formats: guest interviews and co-host-only "chat" episodes. The tone is consistently warm, humorous, and conversational. Listener voicemails are a key feature, often used to kick off discussions in the chat episodes.
