This only affects subscribers to the podcast. Please bear with me. I use the Feedburner service, which is requiring everyone who uses the service to make a slight change. The feed may not work for a short time. Please try again if you have trouble downloading any episodes, or you can download the episodes directly from the site. Everything should be back to normal very shortly.

Next Two Episodes

Lots of exciting content coming up in the next couple of episodes. Episode 15 will be an interview with Edmonton actor Cory Christensen.

Episode 16 will be part 1 of an audio documentary about The Invisible Project, a very powerful play created with and for Calgary’s homeless community. It will feature audio from the actual live perfomances at the Calgary Drop-In Centre and City Hall and interviews with director and facilitator David van Belle, actor Richard Lee Hsi, and Calgary Drop-In shelter client, Linda Coleman.
