Nick Thornton

The podcaster Nick Thornton discusses a{void}dance [1], his new podcast, its evolution from People Doing Things, music, connection, loneliness, recovery, and more, with Joseph Planta.


Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Nick Thornton joins me again. The podcaster, historian and educator is the host of a{void}dance [1], which is an evolution of his People Doing Things podcast that began in 2014. Nick was gracious to have me on as a guest last fall, and it was a lot more enjoyable than I expected, as I didn’t think I would be a good guest. Nick is a marvelous conversationalist, and this new show combines his talent for speaking to the listener, and a taste in music that is uniquely his. His tastes are varied and it’s fascinating to listen to. I keep the show on while I’m working on other things at my desk, then turn it up, if he has something to say between songs. The website is at www.pdtpod.com [1]. Nick Thornton is also the co-host, with Andrew Bates, of That’s So MLS [2], a podcast on soccer. His Twitter handle is @thorntonosity [3]. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Nick Thornton; Mr. Thornton, good morning.
