As we hurdle through the deep expanse of space/time, we might as well flow along with some good tunes! This week we've got some Dumbo Gets Mad, Antione Leonpaul, The Wiggy Blotters, Lee Rosevere, and even some Bach!

Tanya Mathivanan is no stranger to taking on interesting theatre choices and today she returns to talk about her next play 'The How and The Why" We get into how the show came about, what it's like putting science on the stage, the relative lack of generational exploration in theatre, and how theatre projects all come together.

This week I'm joined by two guests: Carolina and Kari, both of whom do work in and around education. We go a little big picture, trying to define what makes an educator, who has influenced them, and of course, can anyone teach?
Joe Planta has been doing podcasts since before you even knew what podcasts were. Now, fifteen years in, he talks about why he keeps doing it, why he'd like to stop, and some of the things he's learned over his tenure talking to people. There's some great moments with iconic Canadians as well, including talking with Cathy Jones while she was testing out beds.

Today I sit down with notable independent Vancouver theatre-maker and actor Christine Quintana. Christine always has a lot of things on the go so we talk about writing, writing grants, where it all started for her, and how theatre needs to change.

Things have been going okay lately and the reason is a little odd. I've been embracing boredom with some surprising results.
Sabrina and I sit down and talk about comics and life and where they intersect. Sabrina's comics cover eveything from karate to weight-lifting, trans-identity to Jurassic Park. Sabrina is on a mission of open hearted honesty that captures what so many feel and think but rarely feel confident enough to tell the rest of the world.

I talk this week about losing my mind over trivial junk. And how that's finally something I'm aware of.
Some of you may remember the story of a Canadian race walker in the 2016 Rio Olympics who had a chance to appeal for a bronze medal but instead chose to let his opponent have it. We go into all the particulars of that race but also discuss the realities of training, being an athlete for a living, as well as why Evan is far from done his journey.
It's easy to focus on what you're not doing but today I'm talking about the other way- and there is one! Also some new music from me tacked on at the end.
