This week’s pick is How To Fall Asleep Fast, a dreamy podcast created to help you let go of the day and settle into real rest.
Each episode combines guided meditation from Amanda Cupido with original music composed by Boris Kurtzman, layered with binaural beats, an audio effect where two tones create a soft pulsing rhythm in your brain. The result is a calming soundscape that can ease stress, quiet racing thoughts, and gently carry you to sleep.
Episodes are about an hour long, giving you plenty of space to unwind without worrying about interruptions. And with new episodes releasing weekly, there’s always a fresh meditation waiting to become part of your nighttime routine.

This week, we’re featuring StanLand — a new five-part audio fiction series that blends fantasy with just the right amount of chaos.
Created by Mike Sacks and written with S.G. Wilson, the show drops us into Zyngia: a once-magical kingdom now drowning in vape shops, gated communities, dollar stores, and other signs of late-stage capitalism.
At the centre of it all are two unlikely protagonists: a burnt-out podcast host and a painfully average guy from Maryland, who somehow become the land’s last hope. The show features a ridiculously stacked cast including Jon Hamm, Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, and more.
StanLand is a Sonar Network production — a network we love here at Lead. This one’s got top-tier sound design, sharp writing, and a clear love for all things weird and well-crafted.
If you’re into smart satire and fictional worlds that feel just a little too familiar, StanLand should definitely be on your playlist.

This week, we’re featuring Canardian, the podcast that digs up all the hometown rumours, half-true tales, and local legends that make Canadian towns so fun to talk about.
Host Kattie Laur has a knack for finding the stories you’d never read on a plaque — the ones that live in Facebook comments, community threads, and whispered “Did you hear about…” conversations.
In this episode, Kattie is joined by the one and only Hannah Sung — former MuchMusic VJ and co-founder of Media Girlfriends — for a special live taping at Soundwave Summit 2025. Together, they trade Scarborough stories: old neighbourhood haunts, ever-changing landmarks, and an unexpected rumour about The Weeknd’s teenage years.
If you’re into local lore, small-town mysteries, and the messy fun of urban legends, Canardian definitely deserves a spot in your playlist.

This week, we’ve got a guest curator in the house! Caleb—Lead Podcasting producer, social media pro, and haunted bookstore enthusiast—takes over the feed to bring you one of his personal faves: I Hate It But I Love It.
If you’ve ever watched a movie and thought, “That was kinda awful… but also incredible?”—this show gets you. Each week, hosts Kat Angus and Jocelyn Geddie (both based in Toronto) pick apart a film they love and hate in equal measure. It’s smart, chaotic, and packed with deep dives, behind-the-scenes facts, weird accents, and original musical numbers. Yes, really.
In the episode Caleb’s picked, they take on 1994’s The Crow—a cult classic with confusing lore, campy characters, and a tragic backstory that’s hard to ignore.
If you like your movie podcasts unfiltered, funny, and full of pop culture brainworms, I Hate It But I Love It is well worth the add.
Add I Hate It But I Love It to your playlist and check out their website!

This new show is part of the Women in Media Network, and we're excited to feature it as part of Lead's celebration of women this March!
