John Batt: No Government Affiliation
The Jann Arden Podcast
12/13/24 • 49 min
This week, Jann Arden welcomes special guest John Batt, the creator of the popular Canadian history-themed Instagram account @canada.gov.ca. They explore the unique blend of humour and Canadian history that defines Batt's work, discussing the evolution of his account, the cultural identity of Canada, and the experience of performing live shows across Canada. The conversation also touches on Batt's journey from a day job to becoming a full-time content creator and the impact of internet culture on his career. Jann, Caitlin, John and Sarah explore the multifaceted aspects of Canadian culture, from music licensing in the 90s to the unique regional delicacies that define Canadian cuisine. The discussion also highlights the importance of humor in politics and the role of community in shaping cultural narratives. As they reflect on the past and look towards the future, the conversation emphasizes the need for a more honest understanding of Canada's diverse identity and the hope for positive change.
More about John Batt:
