Couture bears witness to the shift in perspective that comes with loss, and how it can deepen compassion for others, expand understanding, inspire a letting go of little things and plant a deeper feeling for what matters. At the same time, Couture's writing evokes the joy and lightness that both precede and eventually follow grief, as well as the hope and resilience that grow from connections with others."How to Lose Everything" series on CBC GemHow to Lose Everything is an Indigenous series of animated short films that explore personal stories of loss.

The New Classical FM's Mark Wigmore has repackaged, reimagined and remixed conversations he has had on-air and during the first season of the "Art at the End of the World" podcast for this special set of encore presentations on the Zoomer Podcast Network! Mark speaks to artist, musician, media personality, writer and cultural agitator Sook-Yin Lee.

Jamie Slater aka Jimmy Winkles is a complete vinyl nut residing in Devon, a very rural part of the UK. Having grown up listening to underground hip hop he moved onto various forms of hypnotic styles of dance music taking in their influences through Jazz, Blues and Funk digging deep into the sources of where modern day contemporary music has originated from. With a firm grasp on heavy groove and idiosyncratic selection Jimmy shares a journey through music and what he feels can move both the feet and the mind, tugging on some heart strings along the way. Working close to Greta Cottage Workshop founder Matt Densham aka Onlyz with their regular fm radio show, Winkles has been able to hone his skills in piecing together a very broad selection of music, on the fly, improvising in building bridges between various styles of interesting and challenging music. He's currently working on material for Raul Saaremets's Pudru Kuul/Porridge Bullet imprint in the meanwhile searching for nuggets pressed to wax in the dustiest of crates
