Canary Canard : an absurd fiction podcast crafted in France and in the United States

Welcome to Canary Canard, an absurd fiction podcast crafted in France and in the United States.

Canary Canard, a strange podcast with a strange name. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," Juliet tells Romeo. She has a point, we could have chosen another name. But Canary Canard is a great alliteration, Juliet.

Also, a canary in a coal mine is a harbinger of doom, a rather apropos metaphor in this day and age, right? But instead of accepting to sacrifice itself in the interest of irresponsible human beings, our canary realizes its only chance of survival is to laugh its way out of the coal mine.

You may possibly be starting to understand what you are getting yourself into: Absurd humor? Yes. Deadpan? Yes. Nonsense? Yes. Flash fiction, very short stories? Yes, in audio form. Absurdist literature? Yes.

Canary Canard humbly waddles in the footsteps of the pioneers of the absurd and concurs with stand-up comedy artists who believe laughter with a world-weary, non sequitur, WTF humor is a good medicine because, as the late great comedian, uh, sorry, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking once said: “Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.”
