The First-Ever Episode of Temperate Times
Temperate Times started with Channing and Cole, an idea that seemed way too complex to act on. Although, Channing decided that this would not only change their lives but change others. Cole and Channing both had a tolerance to hot sauce, so they went with the theme of spiciness along with the sense of chill.
Mission Statement

Channing, Founder and CEO
Born in Ontario, Channing had lived most of his life in the city. After moving to the Maritimes, Channing had made connections that would impact his future. Meeting Cole at the start of his career, they had started something huge. The name Temperate Times has an interesting origin. Channing had been taking english class in grade 12, when he had read Sonnet 18 from Shakespeare. “Thou art more lovely and more temperate”. Inspired, Channing utilised the tool of alliteration and created the name ‘Temperate Times’. Ironically, the podcast videos were always intended to be chaotic. Channing’s love for spice had started the entire theme for season 1 of the podcast, starting something that would make Channing even more inspired to try new things.

Kaley, Channing’s Girlfriend
Kaley and Channing met through highschool, not long after he had moved from Nova Scotia, but not finding themselves romantically connected until after graduating. Kaley moved in with Channing around the time of Thankmas 2023, allowing her to begin her involvement with Temperate Times. After the first year, she found herself to be a true supporter of Temperate Times as not only a brand, but as a movement. The next year, Kaley would join Channing and Max as a co-host for Thankmas 2024. Now, Kaley is officially a part of Temperate Times as a member of the show, bringing her own personality and flair to the videos.

Cole, the Hot Sauce Legend
Cole is one of the founders of the Temperate Times podcast. He is the oldest, but definitely not the most mature. Cole also has the highest spice tolerance and holds a tradition for every hot sauce video; adding a massive dab to the last wing and eating it whole. Unfortunately, Channing will no longer be living close to Cole, therefore limiting Cole’s spicy experiences. Although, Cole will still be known as the hot sauce legend.

Max, the New Co-Host
When Channing had moved to New Brunswick, he had very little area to bring Temperate Times to the new province. Thankfully, with the help of his social skills, he met Max. Maybe not seen in the regular videos and podcasts, Max helped a lot with the ideas behind the scenes. Also, Max has been a consistent co-host of the Thankmas charity streams since 2022, allowing Temperate Times to become infinitely more entertaining. Now, Max is the current co-host of the Temperate Times shows.
