Fun Facts

In this episode, Andrew interviews his sister in their hometown, Kelowna. If you think Kelowna sounds like a strange name for an English-speaking city, you’re on to something! The names of many cities in Canada are taken from the language of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. So Kelowna isn’t an English word at all; it comes from the Interior Salish word for grizzly bear.
