In this episode, we're joined by the hilarious and insightful Adam Capriolo who has been performing since grade school, dreaming of the stage from as early as first grade. Together, we dive into the ever-changing comedy landscape, reflecting on how the lack of funding for writers and shifting industry trends have impacted the genre we all miss so much. From starting out as an actor at 18 to landing a role on The Bold Type and leveraging it for career-changing opportunities, Adam shares how small, unexpected projects often bring the most joy—proving that bigger doesn't always mean better. He opens up about the unique challenges of acting: the uncertainty of long-term roles, the insecurity of waiting for the next call, and how it can feel like being in an “abusive relationship” with the industry. We also discuss the realities of modern streaming, the pros and cons of serial versus episodic TV, and what networks and streamers are looking for today. Through it all, Adam reminds us to focus on the craft, not the category or the prestige of the studio, and to find fulfillment in the work itself. ✨ Key Takeaways: Don't take yourself—or the industry—too seriously. Your acting career is always evolving; show up with confidence because you belong there! Joy in your work comes from doing your best and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Inner peace is priceless, and leaving a legacy doesn't require being Brad Pitt. This episode is a refreshing, grounded take on staying true to yourself in a business that can be unpredictable and overwhelming. Laugh with us, reflect with us, and leave feeling inspired to find joy in every step of your creative journey!

Diane Flacks has always felt the power of Jewish guilt. But when when she decided she wanted a divorce, that guilt grew to a whole new level. She constantly questioned the process, even while she was going through it, thinking about whether it was the right move or not. To process these thoughts and emotions, the theatre artist decided to transform this experience into her latest one-woman show, Guilt (A Love Story). Using humour and self-reflection, Flacks lays bare the story of what happened between her and her ex-wife, the impact of divorce on their kids and all the things she feels guilty about from a generational lens. The show just finished its run at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto, and is going to the Montreal's Centaur Theatre from Mar. 12-30 before heading to Winnipeg at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre from Apr. 3-20. Ahead of those tour dates, Flacks joins old friend Ralph Benmergui on Not That Kind of Rabbi, a show about personal journeys and spirituality, to describe the story behind the play and how Jews default to comedy to analyze life. Credits Not That Kind of Rabbi is hosted by Ralph Benmergui and produced by Michael Fraiman. We're a member of The CJN Podcast Network.

In this episode, co-host Liam Lockhart-Rush takes us back to school to learn about Shakespeare's  dominance in Canadian educational institutions. Before that, we hear how many people were first introduced to Shakespeare. Some interviewees share positive experiences with parents and teachers, and others share negative experiences, detailing how what they were taught about Shakespeare was difficult, careless, and potentially harmful. Whether good or bad, it is certain that Shakespeare's impression as a god-like literary figure was not lost on anyone. Later in the episode, educators and students critique Shakespeare's role in education and offer ideas for how Shakespeare can be taught to students in an inclusive and robust way. This episode features conversations with Nassim Abu Sarari, Cole Alvis, Rachel Arnold, Roberta Barker, Dawn Jani Birley, Adelaide Dolha, Miriam Fernandes, Duncan Gibson-Lockhart, Jeff Ho, Christine Horne, Stephen Johnson, Erin Kelly, Ziyana Kotadia, Peter Kuling, Anita La Selva, Jani Lauzon, Keira Loughran, Yvette Nolan, Laurel Paetz, Peter Parolin, Elizabeth Pentland, PJ Prudat, Jamie Robinson, Alix Sideris, Sara Topham, and Jeff Yung.

Josh Freed and Face2Face host David Peck talk about “line regret”, “queue science”, cars as “me” vehicles, occupied time and why Brits like to talk to strangers. Synopsis: All over the world people are lined up now - millions, maybe billions of us - losing trillions of hours of our time. We line up at hospitals, banks, border crossings, supermarkets, trains, planes and fast food chains. In fact, for over 50 years queue designers have been trying to conquer the queue, in vast, largely secret worldwide experiments - and the lab rats in the maze are us. THE TAMING OF THE QUEUE travels from Canada to England and India to look at how humans behave in queues. It looks at the boredom, frustration, stress, fatigue and fury we all feel in line-ups, as our fast-paced lives slow to a crawl. Biography Josh Freed, the Montreal-based writer/director of THE TAMING OF THE QUEUE, is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and journalist. His documentary films have been seen in over 50 countries, and include Deluged by Data (for which he won a 2016 Writers Guild of Canada award in the Documentary category); The Good, the Bad and the Bike (as narrator/on-camera host of this 2016 Radio-Canada documentary);  Life Below Zero; The Trouble With Experts; Where Did I Put…My Memory? My Messy Life; China’s Sexual Revolution; In Search of Sleep - An Insomniac’s Journey; Coat of Many Colours; To Kill or To Cure; Polar Bear Safari; and Juggling Dreams in Mongolia. For his writing, Freed has won two National Newspaper Awards as Best Canadian Columnist for his weekly column in the Montreal Gazette. He is also the author of several popular books, including Moonwebs; Vive Le Quebec Freed; The Anglo Guide to Survival in Quebec; and Fear of Frying, which won him the Stephen Leacock Prize for humour. His theatre projects include co-writing and co-starring in the hit play Four Anglos of the Apocalypse, for the Centaur Theatre in Montreal, and The 25th Century Belongs To Canada, which also had a successful run at the Centaur.
