After summer holidays I found 20 things to chat about, things happening in and around town.

First episode and first publish on iTunes in 2017. Audio from a fun night when I got the great idea of starting a podcast and not knowing that much about it.

Such a fun interview from one of my best friends, musician and DJ. Connexion Light & Sound will make your events come to life. Bill also host a lost radio show called "She is with the Band" on UVIC radio CFUV.

A conversation with Elise, the owner of Island Executive Cleaning that provides both Residential and Commercial service, offering meticulous 5-star quality cleaning and presentation. They use environmentally conscious cleaners and have a attention to the smallest of details.

A brand new shop with beautiful green chairs caught my attention and I asked Christ the man inside for an interview. Sadly the business venture for Chris and his Mom didn't work out and the doors closed early 2020.

A chat with the dynamo founder, Kyla Dufresne and the store Manager, Angie from Foxybox where a team of talented Vagician's are committed to superior waxing methods in their supercool location downtown Victoria. Now expanding with locations in Courtney, Nanaimo, Uptown and Port Coquitlam. Recorded at Fankie's Modern Diner which seemed like a good idea, until the sirens, accidents, dogs barking and people shouting got in the way of audio.
