Connie Kaldor's Table

Anne Wheeler, director, film maker, writer, and more, has been telling our stories here in Canada and beyond for her entire career and she's still doing it. The first and only woman to be awarded a lifetime achievement award from the Directors Guild of Canada, she talks about film, about inspiration and what keeps her going. 

Today's guest is Nancy Bird and her daughter Sarah Wood. Both scientists living is Saskatchewan, they discuss their connection to the natural world through the study of plants, bees, seaweed and animals. 

Today's guest is Andrea Menard - an actress, singer-songwriter, public speaker and Métis powerhouse. 

Today's guest is theatre creator Paula Jardine. She has always created larger than life events, that engage the community in which they happen. Those of you from Vancouver will recognize Luminares, a lantern festival that was one of her theatre dreams. Now she has taken it to an unlikely place for theatre--as the artist in residence of the Vancouver Cemetery. paulajardine.com; calvincairns.com

Hi, I’m Connie and I want to welcome you to my new podcast, Connie Kaldor’s Around my Table. I have secretly envied radio hosts that got to talk with such interesting people. So, every Wednesday morning, I will share a new conversation and a pot of tea with a special guest from wherever they are in the world. Some will make your think, some will make you laugh and some may even spark a new idea. I hope you'll join me!
