In Context

For this episode I spoke with Julia Harte, a local and independent business owner. She has co-owned Maisie’s Boutique, a gift shop in South Queensferry, for over five years. The business has undergone various changes and overcame a wide range of challenges in order to be successful and Julia is definitely one of the primary factors for its success. If you’re looking for Christmas gifts for a family member, friend, colleague or anyone else for that matter, head over to South Queensferry for your Christmas shopping or head over to their website (linked below).

Highlights from Episode 14

Contains some swearing throughout.

For this episode, I spoke with former professional marine mammal trainer turned whistleblower and the subject of the documentary The Walrus and the Whistleblower Phil Demers. We speak about his time at Marineland in Niagara Falls, Canada, how events unfolded leading to him exposing the debilitating lives the animals have at the park and Marineland’s and Phil’s court battle. He has been fighting Marineland for nine years. You can donate to his cause via the websites below so he can get the Walrus Smooshie and her baby to a safer facility.
