Flipflops Podcast

You know actor, singer and writer Jake Epstein from TV shows like Degrassi: The Next Generation, Designated Survivor, Suits and The Umbrella Academy. Jake has had an illustrious career on the stage, most notably on Broadway as Spiderman.

Jake is now on tour performing his one man show Boy Falls from The Sky.  He shares his story - from child actor to Broadway star - at the Segal Centre through December 10th.

I attended Opening Night and I loved this honest, unique and personal comedy so much, that I had to find out more about the writing process.

From hot dogs, to meeting your heroes - to what it feels like to fly on Broadway (in the most expensive show ever with music by U2) - to how funny it is to rise and fall. We talk BTS and find out the hilarious genesis of the show.

Every time I sit down for a meal with Abeille and Na'eem, I am in awe of their constant evolution and support for one another. Their curiosity and connection is inspiring. I am always struck by how they operate from a place of passion, heart, curiosity and spirituality. I am so thrilled to share our chat about their partnership, transition into parenthood, and how they navigated a pandemic that paused both their careers - and inspired a rebirth. Where they have ended up, is nothing less than incredible.  

Abeille Gélinas is a sought after DJ, mother and goddess. Na'eem Adam is an entrepreneur on the cutting edge of where food, community and technology meet. This chat is so rich, generous and thoughtful, it makes me fly. They are lovers of life and their joy gets deep under your skin. Enjoy!

It’s time to connect with my creative soulmates! We are trying out a new format where we surprise each other with a "mystery guest" à la Smartless podcast. 

Today, we are joined by writer and stand-up comedian: Rebecca Kohler. She has written for television shows like Working Moms, Schitt's Creek and Kim's Convenience.  Rebecca shares how she paved her way through the comedy industry. We also talk about her days as a chocolate thief, why she is addicted to making people laugh, and get her thoughts on "And Just Like That". 

40% Facts began as an inside joke on a girl's road trip to NYC. This series features four creative women, who we like to say, each bring 10% to the table. In alphabetical order; Annabelle Agnew is a wedding & portrait photographer. Suzanne Bateman is a streetstyle and glamour photographer. Emeline Villedary is a landscape painter. I'm Angelique Gay, a writer and podcast host.

Rebecca Kohler's website: https://www.rebeccakohler.com/ 

“When not writing for television, Canadian Comedy Award winner, Rebecca Kohler, takes to demolishing stand-up stages in both Canada and the US. Balancing an innate benevolence with a tongue like an acid attack, Rebecca has the ability to dissect the darkness of life’s truths while maintaining a cheeky adorability. With a focus on connecting as humans and an aversion to low-hanging fruit, Rebecca Kohler’s stand-up will educate, comfort and eye-open all while inducing laughter. If you find yourself groaning while watching her, Rebecca asks you to remember that she is not offensive, but that life itself is offensive.”
