This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast: Almost Live from Isolation Studios! Richard speaks to "Relax! Dammit" author Timothy Caulfield and magicienne Julie Eng about how they are holding up during the pandemic and what we can do to make the most of our time in isolation. 

Timothy Caulfield is a professor of law at the University of Alberta, the Research Director of its Health Law Institute, and current Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy. He specializes in legal, policy and ethical issues in medical research and its commercialization. He is also a television host and author of several books. 

Julie Eng has brought her original magical approach to thousands of performances around the world for over three decades—everywhere from expected venues like small private functions, festivals and conventions, to less-obvious ones at senior centers and children’s hospitals. As the executive director of Magicana, a Toronto-based organization dedicated to the exploration and advancement of magic, Julie has also been steeped in the study of the rich history and applications of the often-misunderstood art.
