We almost didn't record a podcast this week. But we did, and it's a raw one.

Ali was at Trinity Bellwoods Park and here is his story. Policy needs to be like art - imaginative. Then, a chat with the artistic director of Buddies In Bad Times Theatre, Evalyn Parry.

The Last Dance is amazing. Drive-ins are a thing, but are they THE thing? Zoom is a clusterfuck. Then, an interview with Charles Spearin and Esmaeel Abofakher about their upcoming musical about the Canadian Sponsorship Program.

It's time for an Artistic New Deal. Enough with the "new normal". Torq's online show inspired Ali. Then, an interview with our future - Caitlin Galichan-Lowe and her incredible grade-11 student Ariana Revnic.

Can we be more like Germany please? Speaking of Germany, we chat with the musical genius Chilly Gonazales from his home in Cologne.

A benchmark episode. From now on, no more 'this is where we are', but 'this is what we are going to do about it.' Plus, an interview with the legendary Nic Harcourt.

Sustainably Grown Art. Leaning into the limitations. Art will not be disrupted. HOPE!

Then, Barry Hertz, the film editor of the Globe and Mail joins us to discuss cinema post COVID-19.

Drive-in plays, courtyard concerts, in-home performances, and the possible death of TicketMaster - our quarantine future. Then an interview with Sue Frost, one of the lead producers of Come From Away on the present and future of Broadway.

It's not opening up until there's a vaccine, so what do we do? We have our ideas and so does our guest, the great Michael Healey.
