Introducing: This Is Something Else

This Is Something Else: Consciously Eclectic Histories of the Arts Club is a 5-part limited podcast series traveling through more than 50 years of Vancouver’s theatre scene and the making of Canada’s largest urban theatre company, the Arts Club. Created and hosted by documentary theatremaker Andrew Kushnir, and inspired by investigative podcasts like This American Life and Nice White Parents, the project takes a distinct approach to history—focusing less on dates and events, and casting an eye (and ear) to the complex relationships between people, places and big ideas. As Andrew puts it in his first episode: “This series is not a eulogy. It’s not a legacy project or promotional piece. It’s not the careful work of a historian or journalist. And it’s not a walk down memory lane either. This is something else.” Putting together multiple perspectives into conversation with one another—at times, in quirky ways—Andrew sleuths out how the past can speak to our present moment in as vivid terms as possible.
