From dental hygiene to Montessori schools to filmmaking, Monique Barrie’s path has been anything but ordinary. In this episode, she sits down with Duddy to share her journey as a Calgary entrepreneur, philanthropist, and filmmaker — and how her daughter inspired her to pursue storytelling through film.

Monique opens up about creating the Not In My City documentary with Paul Brandt, and the responsibility of telling survivors’ stories with care and impact. We dive into her RBC Emerging Artist Award at age 52, her drive to leave every industry better than she found it, and her vision for the future of Calgary’s creative community.

She also shares the personal side of her story: her love of farm life with her dogs and chickens, the unglamorous parts of filmmaking she secretly enjoys, and her advice for anyone looking to break into Alberta’s growing film industry. From social justice to storytelling, Monique’s perspective shows how film, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship can all work together to create lasting change.

On this Labour Day Classic Special, Calgary Stampeders Outriders Lena & Jillian take us behind the scenes of cheer, dance, and game day in Calgary. From their first dance classes in Airdrie and Calgary to Grey Cup halftimes, music videos, and world stages in Vancouver and Amsterdam, they share the journeys that brought them to the sidelines of McMahon Stadium with the Stampeders and onto the floor at the Saddledome with the Roughnecks Drill Crew.

They open up about unforgettable moments like performing at the Grey Cup with the Jonas Brothers, competing at the World Gymnaestrada in Amsterdam, and what it feels like to step onto the field during the biggest rivalry game of the year — the CFL Labour Day Classic. You’ll also hear about the “sisterhood” of the Outriders, balancing careers with performing, what really happens on game day, and how misconceptions about cheerleading miss the fact that these women are both athletes and artists.

With stories of flying boots, dislocated shoulders, the energy of CFL crowds, and the family bond that makes the Outriders unique, this episode is a must-listen for Stampeders fans, dancers, and anyone who loves Calgary sports and culture. Labour Day in Calgary hits different — and this is your inside look.

In this episode of The Deets with Duddy, I sit down with Harrison Clark, a small business owner from Inglewood and candidate for Calgary City Council in Ward 9. From Bridgeland to Forest Lawn, Ward 9 is one of Calgary’s most diverse and dynamic areas, and Harrison shares why he’s stepping forward to represent it.

We talk about his roots in the community, what he’s learned knocking on doors across neighborhoods like Dover, Ogden, and Ramsay, and the issues shaping this election—affordability, safety, and a fair share of investment for Ward 9. Harrison explains his independent approach, how he’s building trust on the ground, and why Calgary is at a turning point in defining urban living for the next decade.

Other topics we dig into:

• Why Ward 9 is “the Texas of the wards”

• Preserving community character while managing growth and development

• Small but impactful fixes (lighting, potholes, safety on transit)

• The future of the Green Line and Calgary’s push to become a world-class city

• Stories of pride, history, and multi-generational roots across Ward 9 communities

With the Calgary municipal election set for October 20, 2025, this conversation gives voters a chance to get to know Harrison beyond the soundbites.

This week on The Deets with Duddy, Calgary’s late-night-style podcast takes a turn for pure chaos. Sam and Amber — the unapologetic hosts of Girl Dinner Podcast — crash the set for an episode that’s anything but normal. Their loyal fans (aka the Snackers) know them for sharp banter, zero filter, and a knack for turning every topic into a comedy bit… and they brought all of that energy here.

We dive into the story behind Girl Dinner, how a Calgary real estate agent and a content creator/mom built a cult-favorite comedy podcast, and why they refuse to tone it down for anyone. Along the way: whiskey-fueled haircuts, cult talk, pop culture hot takes, career confessions, and the very real Illuminati debate.

This episode is a rare switch-up for The Deets with Duddy — less structured, more comedic, and packed with off-the-wall humor. If you’ve ever wanted to hear what happens when a late-night show turns into a Friday night kitchen party, this is it.

Hosted by Calgary creator Jeff “Duddy” Dudder, The Deets with Duddy spotlights the people, culture, and stories of Calgary — from politicians to artists, athletes to entrepreneurs — all with a late-night energy and unfiltered conversations you won’t hear anywhere else.

When you hear GlobalFest, you think fireworks. But that’s just the beginning.

In this episode of The Deets with Duddy, I sit down with John and Mia from GlobalFest to unpack how this festival became one of Calgary’s biggest cultural showcases. From community-driven programs and food pavilions to some of the best fireworks shows in the world, GlobalFest is more than a summer event—it’s a celebration of who we are.

We talk about:

• The origins of GlobalFest and why it took 10 years to find the perfect venue

• How it evolved from a small multicultural event to Calgary’s second largest festival

• Why the fireworks are designed to “tell a story” and how they’re different every year

• The Passport Pursuit & Flavours programs that reward you for exploring culture and cuisine

• Behind-the-scenes on how a small team + 1000 volunteers pull it off every year

Plus: Why GlobalFest is becoming one of Calgary’s best date-night spots, how they’re fighting the “it’s just fireworks” misconception, and how you can win premier tickets to this year’s event.

Jenna Gearey is a researcher at the University of Calgary studying circadian rhythm and sleep science—and yes, she’s also Duddy’s sister.

In this episode of The Deets with Duddy, we dig into what your body’s internal clock is really doing—and how things like shift work, screentime, and caffeine throw it off. We talk about:

• Why staying up past midnight isn’t just “bad sleep”—it’s a biological mismatch

• What your chronotype is and how it affects your energy and focus

• Whether melatonin, blue light glasses, and sleep apps actually do anything

• How to function when your rhythm doesn't match your schedule

• Why your rhythm isn’t broken—you just might not be on the same wavelength as the world around you

Plus: how light regulates your brain, why sleep is only part of the circadian story, and how mice helped reveal what chronic circadian disruption does to your heart and blood sugar.
