In 2022, I started exploring podcasting. After trying out three different podcast names, gaining some followers, and creating great content, I decided to walk away at the end of 2023. After a year of self-discovery, I realized I needed to share what I had learned.
In phase one, I named my podcast "Let's Haver." The word "haver" means to babble, a term from Scotland (maybe also Ireland) and Newfoundland, but it didn’t feel right to me.
In phase two, I chose the name "From Cape Breton: It's Saturday Night!" This felt a bit better as it aligned more with my vision for my brand and podcast. However, over time, I recognized that it still didn't capture my true voice. I am passionate about helping people, sharing stories, and giving my perspective and insight, whether it's asked for or not.
The third attempt to rebrand myself and my podcast, I am renaming it "Bartender on Wheels." You might be thinking, "What is that?" I understand; it may seem messy. But please bear with me through these growing pains.
The name "Bartender on Wheels" comes from my time as a tour operator in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. While driving guests around, I heard their stories—their successes, sorrows, and frustrations. Sometimes they asked for my advice or opinion. That’s when I started calling myself a 'Bartender on Wheels' because I listened to many confessions, much like a bartender in a local pub.

Finally - here we are! My growth, discovery, exploration, whatever it was.... led me to where I started as a toddler...Spirits, Witches, and Demons! I have been seeing spirit since I can remember (as early as age 3). I have had many experiences with the paranormal, and metaphysical, and for decades I kept myself blocked, forced myself to keep the skeptical side alive, and thought I was crazy. Once I finally allowed myself to connect, to be open to the possibility that I am NOT crazy - that I am connecting to spirit, I have been fully connected! Now I want to assist others, I want to share my experiences and journey and I hope it helps someone out there get their journey started.
Are we ready for this new chapter? I will kick things off with a few episodes about my self-discovery journey and where things are now.
Earlier episodes are available for entertainment (and mine, too!) on my YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@barbarageddes9390). I’m keeping the same email for now until I am sure this is the final name or if I need to change it again.
