The Da Blue Hole restaurant in Marsh Harbour, Abaco was destroyed by hurricane Dorian. The largest and most destructive hurricane to hit the Atlantic has devastated their town and community. David and Anthony, the creators of Da Blue Hole, joined us in studio to discuss how food can heal and bring people together. They are embarking on a culinary relief world tour to introduce folks to elevated Bahamian food, and raise funds to help with hurricane relief - and helping their former staff get back on their feet. Megan Loges joins us as a special co-host, you may remember her from episode 3 :) Megan and Amanda both have deep love for the Marsh Harbour community and YDK is setting out to help Dave and Anthony build a culinary event in Toronto this Spring.

Katie and Amanda sit down for a discussion about getting through the education system with a learning disability, living with chronic pain, and why telling someone they're "strong" isn't always the best vibe. Two wonderful humans - Megan and Margeaux - open up about their experiences and we share our collective disdain for Ford's education cuts, standardized testing, and the evils of capitalism and toxic productivity culture. .........We are using this episode to raise awareness and $$$ for Every Child Counts school for children with special needs in Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas. The school was destroyed by hurricane Dorian and they are in need of our support to continue their mission of providing an education for children with a wide range of disabilities.

YDK sits down for a hilarious, enlightening, and important discussion about gender identity with two rad humans: Rhekia and Faith. Expect to learn about non-binary identities, the trans umbrella, misgendering, when to Google and when it's okay to ask about someone's identity, and the importance of respecting autonomy. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.This episode was released in conjunction with a fundraising initiative for a Toronto organization founded by our guest Faith and their friend Tim Pieces to Pathways, a non-profit organization which provides harm reduction & substance use support for LGBTQ2SIA+ youth (the ONLY organization in Canada with this mandate). YDK and its listeners raised $460! Thank you!
