Two years ago, this podcast took an indefinite hiatus. We’d done over 57 episodes where we learned about the lives of Canadians who lived abroad. The show ended, but we kept hearing from people who had stories to tell—about their lives in other countries, and what their experiences taught them about what it means to be Canadian.

Those stories inspired us to relaunch the show.

We have a new name but the same mandate as before. We’re kicking things off with a preview of what’s to come. And we’re also welcoming a new voice to the show who’ll be helping behind the scenes to bring you stories from Canadians living abroad.

We’re glad to be back, and we can’t wait to connect with you!
