A warm welcome back to friend of the show and one of our favourite Canadian media personalities, George Stroumboulopoulos. Jann, Strombo, Caitlin and Sarah discuss everything from the impact of the LA fires, to the challenges of straddling cultural identities between Canada and the US. They also touch on political discourse, the concept of virtue signaling, and the transformative power of music therapy in healing and providing comfort to those in need. Strombo also reflects on his creative process, memorable interviews, and the importance of human connection, sharing personal stories about interviewing celebrities along the way.

In the second half of the episode, the conversation shifts as Jann shares a heartfelt story about a close friend's breast cancer diagnosis with Caitlin and Sarah, reflecting on the emotional complexities of supporting loved ones through difficult times. They share personal experiences and insights related to cancer, the importance of community support, the value of accepting help from friends.
