Just Chill with Oliver George

Join Oliver this episode as he talks with the very talented Michaela Chung! She is a skilled comedian, dancer and YouTube personality. Michaela hosts a blog called 'Introvert Spring', where anyone (including extroverts) can learn more about introversion.

She shares why introversion is often confused with shyness and the conversation also touches on dancing, religion (including Michaela's own time in the Mormon church) and speed dating.

*My Dad commented that during this episode, he thought I swore too often and also said "like" way too much... ...I, like, think he might, like, have a fuckin', like, point and shit.

Join Oliver as he sits down with travelling artist Gabriel Sanchez. A very talented painter, sculptor and percussionist (to list a few of his many skills). Originally from Peru, Gabriel shares some of the experiences and impressions that he has had so far while visiting Canada for the last 5 months.

The discussion leads into many interesting facts about Gabo's homeland of Peru. From mythical legends, to a bizarre (and brutal) custom that Oliver still can't believe is real.

*For reference: The Peruvian ritual Gabriel eluded to is actually called a 'Yawar Fiesta'.

Join Oliver as he chats with comedian, speaker and disability awareness advocate Michael Lifshitz! Michael is also the founder of 'Illumabilites'. An organization that aims to educate the masses regarding what people with disabilities are truly capable of. While also inspiring all people to overcome their own challenges and live their lives to the fullest of their abilities!

Fresh off of winning the 2019 'Mike MacDonald Summer Comedy Competition' at Yuk Yuk's Ottawa. Michael sheds light on accessibility issues, proper disability vernacular and his own experiences living as a person (and comedian) with a disability.

This episode actually almost didn't happen... Our superior (ProTools) audio setup crapped out moments before we were set to record. Michael was informed that if we were to proceed, the only audio we would have would be sub-par to our normal standard. When asked if he'd like to reschedule for a time when everything was up and running? Michael joked that it was thematic for this episode that the audio be partially "disabled".

With that joke, we knew we had to hit record and make it happen! This is a fantastic conversation, and ultimately the audio is still very decent. Picking up a lot more ambient noise (the dogs barking, etc) than usual, but well worth a listen/watch!
