Kira Meyers-Guiden is a playwright and performer from Ontario, and we sat down to talk about “Futch/Bemme” (directed by Evelyn Long), as well as the studies that play a part in her artistic resolve, creatively and on stage. You’ll be able of course, to see this in OutFest 2018, September 20th-22nd (featuring 3 one-act plays, 2 movement pieces and 3 musical numbers!). We also talk about the beauty in the tension of our time, and so much more. She was arriving via a hectic drive from Toronto, and I was in Sunday mode…

Side-bar: Many apologies to Kira. Kira, I don’t think I’ve ever made more shame-based edits on an episode. To say that I wasn’t on my A-Game would be a compliment. In the future, I will not try to simultaneously entertain or be glib, or play equal part in a back-and-forth without preparation or fully formed thoughts. Thankfully, you were great, and come off exactly as the brilliant, kind and forgiving person I had the fortune of meeting and chatting with that day.

Isaac Mulé from Page 1 Entertainment is back on the show, joined by associate choreographer Jeff Fox; and we're chatting about OutFest 2018 which is September 20-22. I tried to not try this time, and it lead to a nice chance to listen to Isaac and Jeff talk about the productions and hearts behind the brains. Something like that... Are there any volunteers that would like to write these things? -Todd

So many changes in the last year and a half, a treasure chest of dicks inundating someone who originally conceived a sincere attempt to make her art uni-sexy, and listening to death metal for focus and relaxation. These are all things that alt-photographer-artist Camille Porthouse and I chatted about in her second interview with me, representing Fairy Goth Mother Studios. All I can say is that whenever we get on the mics, it's like smooth jazz.

We pretty much dive right into this one. Comedian and host of his own podcast (Master Race Debaiters) Count Gavin stops by to chat about society, pop-culture, the internet, and we deconstruct all of it. As heavy as that sounds, it's full of laughs, self-awareness and it flows like a river. So put on your thinking caps, pour yourself a nice cup'o coffee, and strap in.

Local Ladies is a fantastic video series that spotlights the stories and humanity of women. Katie Green and I (Todd) had plenty to talk about, both being broadcasters and empathetic peeps. We hope you dig the chit-chat, maybe feel a bit more enlightened. If you didn't already know about Local Ladies, you should, but now you do!? I don't know how to write these things!? Somebody?

It starts off with our first co-hosting segment with our friend & UW Improv’s Darel Dean, and we learn a new word. Then we introduce Tahnee & Nicole!!! We chatted about their awesome podcast Two Dimes on a Grapevine and what you can expect when they return with season 2; about being teenagers. Then you get to hear us mulling over a special mixtape selection, procurement, playlist, coming out for you tomorrow! Tomorrow being Friday, July 20th!

We welcome back newlywed Katy Warren, I mean Katy Topham, back on the show, and talk some shit. Then Todd sits down with Canadian poet and splendid company - Roshan James. We've been sitting on this interview record and salivating to share it with you, so stop reading this and go learn, or unlearn, about the universe and it's inhabitants, existence, our intellects, life, Tupac, and more! OR less!?

The heatwave is on and we're back at it; chatting with playwright & director Erika Reesor & actress Emily Schooley who are representing The Frog King, a mature stage-piece tackling gender, sexuality, identity, labels, and more. We went in-depth with each of those subjects, and learned more about the lovely folks behind the scenes, with acceptance and TC-style levity! Ps: podcasting 101 will tell you that staying 'on the rails', is only a suggestion. ;)

It's a very special thing to have this chat with longtime friend in the music scene; CityWide Panic's Matthew Jacobs joined me to catch up and talk about recording the new CWP EP. In true form, we have a laugh catching up, promoting the album and launch party (Sat, June 23rd @ Starlight Waterloo), and about getting older. CityWide Panic is insane good and this 5-track has serious legs, if you're looking for guitar rock with power! - Todd

In Part 2 (of 2), you'll hear more of Todd & Katy observing the sights and sounds around our tent on King St. on June 9th; we were joined in this one, by CAKFA's Glodeane Brown (aka Culture Fancier), volunteers Rai Madge, Sammy Duke (a local musician also), and local artist/performer Jessie T. We wrap up the night and the dog count. So there's plenty! It's all in there : D Todd's Café style.
