The British Columbians are masters at running “pirate economies”. Centuries before the current BC Bud enterprise was launched, the fur trade was a huge part of the BC economy when the Europeans arrived in the home of the First Nations with lots of arrogant ambition and a buffet of epidemics. That was followed by a few slightly sleazy gold rushes and then some pretty dedicated exploitation of the Japanese, Chinese and other Asians. During prohibition in the U.S., B.C. became the liquor hub for the west coast of the U.S.  We've been keeping you guys stoned and drunk for decades.   You' re welcome.

Episode 3 is one of our favorites so far. We sit down with the President and CEO of Clearwing Productions, Gregg Brunclik and the President of Apollo Productions and former Clearwing employee Jamieson Filip for an “All Crew” special. We discuss the humble beginnings of Gregg’s company and how Eddie Rabbitt played a big part in it. We also talk about the transition in concert production from the 70’s and 80’s when everyone was building their own cabinets to the present day systems and some of the in between. Jamieson discusses the things it takes to produce large events including drilling through 10 feet of concrete at the Superbowl and a huge electrical debacle at the 2010 Winter Olympics. We talk about some classic road pranks from back in the day, and how the “touring brotherhood” has evolved. Gregg tells us about the time he provided production for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Violent Femmes at the north pole. It’s capped off by Gregg’s first hand account (from behind the monitor desk) of the infamous Plasmatics show in Milwaukee where Wendy O’Williams was arrested spurring a years long legal battle between her and Milwaukee Police Chief Harold Brier. Take a ride on the Crew Bus this month and hear the real deal stories from the people who always tell it like it is.

Bob Mackin is a journalist from TheBreaker.news and host of TheBreaker.news podcast with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which began 10 years ago this month. In this second part of our 2-part conversation, Bob describes the "pressure cooker" days as the Games get underway, and the huge logistical and personal challenges Olympics organizers faced. Finally, we ask the most important question: can or should Vancouver ever invite the world back for a global competition again? The answer may surprise you.

Brian Williams says he believed it 10 years ago and believes it even more now and that's the fact that the 2010 Olympics changed how people in this country viewed athletes and we no longer apologize for greatness.

Being that Indiana has received 12 inches more snow this February then the monthly average calls for (5") and its been the 6th coldest winter on record (haven't they kept records since the stone age) we thought Two Free Men should give thanks to Al Gore for such a lovely winter season. And don't worry we'll talk about some other stuff too. This week on Two Free Men.

In this podcast: Why protest the Olympics, Aboriginal activists speak out, talking diversity of tactics, and all about Vancouver's Red Tent campaign for housing. The Olympic torch was intended to sail through the city on a sea of goodwill. But the celebrations hit rough water in a rising tide of protest. Protestors and celebrants alike lined the route, but in the end, Olympic organizers changed the torch relay's intended course up Vancouver's Commercial Drive. Here are some of the voices from the protest as the torch approached the Drive. Thousands of protesters also convened at the Vancouver Art Gallery just before the start of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, to kick off a march through Vancouver's downtown. One group with a significant presence there was No Olympics on Stolen Native Land. Meagan talked with a spokesperson from the group. Here's what she had to say about why it has been necessary to protest the Olympics. Not everyone was in favor of protesting the Olympics. As the square at the Vancouver Art Gallery filled up with banners and the speeches began, spectators gathered as well. Here is what one of them had to say: If you remember, last episode we told you that the first caller would win an ipod nano. Well, the calls streamed in from as far away as Tokyo, but the person who was quickest on the draw was someone a little closer to home… well, my home anyway. Here's what our nano winner had to say. We'd love to hear your comments too. The number is 360-566-2214. On February 13th, a planned demonstration protesting the corporate interests of the Olympics led to a broken window at the Hudson's Bay Company which many activist link with Canada's historical corporate oppression of First Nations people and other Canadians. The event got a great deal of publicity from mainstream media outlets. It also sparked a debate about the effectiveness of using a Diversity of Tactics, including direct action, within the broad spectrum of activists protesting the Olympics in Vancouver. To create a space where Diversity of Tactics could be discussed in greater detail, rabble.ca along with Working TV broadcast a discussion between Harsha Walia of No One Is Illegal, and Derrick O'Keefe, former rabble editor and member of stopwar.ca. For just over an hour and a half, panelists Walia and O'Keefe responded to questions from the live audience and online participants. The full discussion is available at rabble.ca/rabbletv. Walia spoke to the question of whether direct action is an effective method of protest, and how other types of protest do not engender the same kinds of questioning. That discussion on Diversity of Tactics was held at the W2, which is an exciting new development in Vancouver. It's a media arts centre that brings together independent media outlets like ours, media artists, and social innovators into a space where ideas can be exchanged and new plans can be hatched. The centre opened just days before the Olympics, and has become a media hub for the activism and independent reporting during the games. From the launch event for the W2, this is Irwin Oostindie speaking about his vision for the centre. Following on similar actions in Europe the Pivot Society has created a space for homeless people to sleep during the Olympics by providing them with red tents, each one housing one or two people. Am Johal is Chair of the Impact of the Olympics on Communities Committee. Here he is, speaking to the rabble podcast network's Pivot podcast. If you have comments about the show, an idea for us, or a documentary that you whipped up at home, tell us about it. You can email me at Meagan@rabble.ca, or you can call us too at 360-566-2214.

We were heading out to Ikea for some Christmas shopping, and I took the opportunity to do more experimenting with being mobile. We discuss a wide range of topics mostly regarding to Vancouver in my attempts to not only help educate myself, but also share the tidbits of knowledge that I’m learning about this area every single day. I swear that somedays Rebecca must get annoyed with the amount questions I ask her on a nearly daily basis. No music once again for this episode, aside from the background noise from the car stereo which allowed for a great segue for the last bit of this episode.
