CAA Atlantic’s Podcast Speaks Directly to Members
Monthly episodes explore topics that matter to Atlantic Canadians, with expert perspectives and friendly conversation.

“Everything we cover has a local lens,” says CAA’s Julia Kent. The host of CAA Atlantic’s monthly podcast, Let’s Go Together, says it’s all about connecting with members, providing advice and information that is trusted and relevant.
The podcast debuted in the spring of 2025, aimed squarely at the folks who live in Atlantic Canada. That’s a diverse group of people, and Kent’s challenge is to deliver a wide variety of pertinent topics that will hit listeners where they live. As CAA Atlantic’s advocacy and community relations director, Kent is well positioned to leverage the company’s considerable knowledge base and subject matter experts, bringing them to members in a lively talk-show format.

The idea for the podcast came from President & CEO Dawn Dalley, who sought to amplify CAA’s expertise and broadcast it to listeners across Atlantic Canada in a fresh way. Each episode explores topics ranging from road trips and roadside assistance to road safety, travel, insurance and community issues. Tune in, and you’ll find conversations around food security, electric vehicles and travel logistics. “We knew CAA Atlantic has a wealth of expertise on topics that matter to people,” says Kent. “We wanted a modern way to share that knowledge and meet people where they are.” The podcast can be found on major platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, with video episodes on YouTube. “From road conditions and transportation issues to travel opportunities and regional trends, we’re focused on the topics that matter here at home,” Kent says. Episodes also explore topics around children’s car seats and cycling and road safety.

“We knew CAA Atlantic has a wealth of expertise on topics that matter to people. We wanted a modern way to share that knowledge and meet people where they are.”
The podcast is ultimately about connecting with CAA members and anyone looking for trusted, relevant advice delivered in a personal way. “CAA members aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is the podcast,” she says. “We aim to feature a wide range of voices, experiences and perspectives that mirror the communities we serve across Atlantic Canada.”
After the first season behind the microphone, Kent says she’s learned that authenticity matters most. That’s what listeners respond to.
“I think the key, for me, is being casual and real,” she said. “The best conversations happen when guests feel comfortable enough to share personal stories, experiences and lessons learned. I’ve also learned that you don’t need to overcomplicate things. When you focus on thoughtful questions and genuine curiosity, people respond.” CAA
