The Jann Arden Podcast is a weekly show hosted by multi-talented Canadian icon Jann Arden alongside Caitlin Green and Sarah Burke.
Jann Arden welcomes back friend of the podcast, Lori Dyan, also known as Tarot Lori. Lori discusses her upcoming book 'Big Deck Energy' and the transformative power of tarot. She emphasizes the importance of personal interpretation in tarot readings, and how tarot can serve as a tool for self-discovery and manifestation. The discussion also touches on the significance of choosing the right deck, and the resurgence of interest in tarot as a means of finding community and clarity in a chaotic world. Jann, Caitlin, Sarah and Lori also discuss the interconnection of spirituality and sexuality, the lessons of the star card in destiny and free will, and the challenges of letting go while supporting others.

Known as Tarot Lori for over thirty years, Lori Dyan has an international clientele that ranges from celebrities to stay-at-home moms, as well as a dedicated Instagram following. She was mentored by a crystal-ball-gazing witch, and her tagline, “Woo Woo Without the Cuckoo,” reflects her modern and accessible style of tarot. She is also a popular media guest, keynote speaker, and event entertainer. Lori is a member of the Peguis First Nation, and her lineage is woven throughout her work—it is the source of her magic. Her bestselling first book, Burn Your Sh*t, teaches the transformative power of rituals.
Big Deck Energy is the ultimate guide to unlock your intuition, discover what's possible, and create the life of your dreams using tarot. A unique hybrid of tarot how-to and spiritual self-help, Big Deck Energy is for tarot newbies, seasoned pros, or anyone who is trying to figure out life.

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:
John Batt was born and raised in Fredericton and now lives in Montreal. When Batt is not working in post-secondary education, he is fine-tuning his live show that is coming to a city near you.
His live show, which is selling out across the country, is neither a podcast nor is it stand-up comedy: instead it's canada.gov.ca and there's really nothing like it. Find his upcoming tour dates and more on Instagram.
