Canary Canard

Welcome to Canary Canard, a unique 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 absurdly laugh its way out
of the coal mine.
And since we wanted a name in two words only and since we are a Franco-American team,we wanted the second word to sound French. As far as canard is concerned, this is what the
dictionary says: “Oiseau aquatique ansériforme migrateur, au cou court, au bec aplati apte à
filtrer la vase, aux pattes palmées, très courtes, et dont certaines espèces font l’objet d’un
élevage important pour leur chair.” Simply put: a duck. Incidentally, in French slang, “un
canard” may mean either a lump of sugar that you bob in someone’s coffee or liquor (with
their permission of course) or a newspaper.
So canard is a false friend, i.e. a word that resembles or sounds similar to a word in another
language, but differs significantly in meaning. In English, of course, a canard is an unfounded
or false, deliberately misleading story – fitting for the fiction herein.
So now you understand why we chose the word canard. And 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.
