    Well hello. It’s been a while. We are back, but only to say goodbye, then take you with us. After almost three years of being independent podcasters with the Sound Off Network, we are moving over to Substack. Substack is primarily a writers’ platform, but you can host podcasts there too, so we are taking the existing episodes of Women of Ill Repute (all 95 of them!) and putting them up there. You can still listen to us on Apple and Spotify and all the places you already get your pods, but on Substack they will be completely ad free. You’ll also have access to our newsletter, and whatever other content we dream up, like recipes, dark family secrets, and dark family secret recipes. Furthermore, it won’t cost you anything, unless you want to support us (for as little as $6 a month). We get into the why’s and wherefore’s in this episode, and if we sound a little wistful, well, we are. Have a listen, then come find us at https://womenofillrepute.substack.com/ We’ll see you over there! Xxxx Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Summer Throwback: Colin Mochrie
    2024/08/27
    Our Summer Throwback series continues. Is an ambivert a pervert? No, it’s most of us! Maybe we are all just less funny versions of Colin Mochrie, who reveals he is, of course, an ambivert, someone who feels comfortable in social situations but also really enjoys time alone. You may know Colin as an extrovert, but he’s often really introverted. He says he’s afraid his neighbours might think he’s a dick, when he’s really just shy. Colin is a famous improv guy, he was on the U.K. and U.S. versions of “Whose Line is it Anyway” for decades. He is now doing big shows in L.A. with a hypnotist. He tells us why “Hyprov” is a perfect mix for improv. He also performs “Scared Scriptless” with comedian Brad Sherwood. His wife, Deb McGrath, who he met at Toronto’s Second City, is also an improv pro. She is an extrovert! He says they just hide away in different corners of the house when the laughs run out. You can watch this episode on YouTube. We have a new sponsor! Embark is owned by a not-for-profit foundation, and they only do education planning and savings. They are passionate about helping students reach their full potential.

  • Summer Throwback: Sheila McCarthy
    2024/08/20
    Our Summer Throwback series continues. Even when playing old ladies, she’s beautiful. Sheila McCarthy is one of those people you feel like you’ve known forever. And maybe we have. She’s been in everything, and now stars in Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking”, the Oscar-winning movie based on a true story by Miriam Toews about Mennonite women and girls drugged and then raped by men they know in their Bolivian colony. It’s all about violence and women talking!!!! It’s important, and it works. Sheila talks about learning to say sorry to someone who’s been abused, getting the role, and having her feet washed by the Queen! (Aka Claire Foy, who yes, is also in the movie)Sheila’s an actor, dancer, and singer. She’s been at it since she was 5. She first broke through in “I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing”, then in “Emily of New Moon”, “Little Mosque on the Prairie”, and in many Anne of Green Gables shows. She has won gobs of Genies, Geminis, ACTRA’s. WM You can watch this episode on our YouTube channel. A transcription of this episode is available here. We have a new sponsor!
