It's Asian Heritage Month in Canada – and this week on the show, we'll be joined by Sadaf Ahsan and Sarah Sahagian to discuss Asian representation in Canadian pop culture.  From books and television to music, the Canadian cultural landscape has made significant strides in embracing diversity—offering richer, more nuanced portrayals of Asian characters and (mostly) moving away from stereotypes and tokenism. Yet, as our conversation reveals, we still have a long way to go. In this conversation, Sarah and Sadaf share some of their recent favorite films, TV shows, books, and music. They also discuss why diversity should be viewed as a valuable opportunity—not a risk—by investors, and emphasize the vital role of behind-the-scenes representation in shaping authentic stories. About our guest  Sadaf Ahsan is the senior editor at 3 Magazine, co-host of Frequency Podcasts' The Reheat, columnist at The Globe & Mail, contributing editor at RepresentASIAN Project, and a Humber College journalism professor. Her work has appeared in The Walrus, CBC, The Cut and more. She previously worked at The Juggernaut, Canadian Press, The Discourse, NOW Magazine, and the National Post.

Liz Allen Buries the Lede  Our season 5 closer is a real treat! We have an incredible guest, Liz Allen, improv performer, director, coach, teacher and guru Liz Allen. Liz has performed and coached improv for 32 years! She works primarily out of iO in Chicago, (This is a big deal people!) but she has performed and coached improv all over the world, notably at the Edinburgh Fringe and, oh, by the way, she coached The Commune, the improv ensemble in Mike Birbiglia's 2016 feature film Don't Think Twice, NBD. (This actually blows Sarah's mind as Mike Birbiglia is her fave comedian.) Recently, Liz has been delving into solo show writing and performance, she recently performed her first solo show, Tonight I Am My Mother, and is completing her next solo show, There Were Signs, about her years in Las Vegas with her husband and their offspring. This is how Sarah met Liz, on an online solo show class with The Barrow Group, which is one good thing we can say about the pandemic. Okay, she sounds amazing, but how does she end up as a guest on Comedicine? Well, before discovering improv, Liz was a mechanical engineer! What? She worked for fifteen years as a consulting engineer and pharmaceutical technical writer. One night, on a lark, she joined some friends seeing a show at The Second City in downtown Chicago…and Liz got bit by improv. Do engineering and improv mesh? You be the judge!  www.lizallenimprov.com lizallenimprov@comcast.net www.tonightiammymother.com  Thank you to our season 5 title sponsor, Scribenote! Scribenote is an AI-powered veterinary scribe that saves you hours of record-keeping every day, boosts clinic efficiency, and helps you leave work on time.  Promo code: COMEDICINE15 for 15% off Scribenote for 1 year Link: https://app.scribenote.com/auth/register?referralCode=Comedicine-Bonus (use this link to double the regular free trial usage!)Thanks for listening to Comedicine!

Elaine Miller, Fanny and Me!  In this episode of Comedicine, we get to talk to pelvic physiotherapist and comedian, Elaine Miller. Elaine Miller is a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, specialising in women's health.  She started doing stand-up comedy as a hobby, finding the lighter side of female urinary incontinence. In doing so, she found a way to reach and educate women about their fannies.  Elaine lives in Edinburgh, home of the biggest Arts festival in the world, so the obvious next step for her was to write and perform a solo show about pelvic floors at the Edinburgh Fringe. Gusset Grippers, won the Comedy Award at Fringe World, Australia in 2020.  Her second show, Viva Your Vulva, the Hole Story, was one of only two shows to be awarded five stars in 2023.  She collaborated with Monash University on a paper examining humour as a health promotion tool and her #DryByChristmas social media campaign reminding women to do their pelvic floor exercises was published by Rosie Haper from Bournemouth University. Elaine shares some incredible facts, like 50% of women don't know the difference between the vulva and the vagina. FIFTY PERCENT PEOPLE! This is just not acceptable to Elaine. It is also not acceptable that it takes and average of 7 years for women to get medical help with incontinence. SEVEN YEARS!! The good news is that once you find a pelvic physio, most women get better! Through humour, Elaine is trying to change the world. One vagina at a time.   Clip – https://youtu.be/XODY8eqbG4I?feature=shared  More information on Elaine: https://www.csp.org.uk/frontline/article/3-minutes-elaine-miller  Scientific papers on humour: https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/could-humour-be-the-key-to-a-healthier-society  https://staffprofiles.bournemouth.ac.uk/display/rharper1  @gussiegrips   SCRIBENOTE  Thank you to our season 5 title sponsor, Scribenote! Scribenote is an AI-powered veterinary scribe that saves you hours of record-keeping every day, boosts clinic efficiency, and helps you leave work on time.  Promo code: COMEDICINE15 for 15% off Scribenote for 1 year Link: https://app.scribenote.com/auth/register?referralCode=Comedicine-Bonus (use this linke to double the regular free trial usage!)Thanks for listening to Comedicine!

S5 - E3 - Emily in Research - Emily TangIn this episode, we stretch the definition of health care a bit for our delightful guest, Emily Tang. Despite the pressure to become a doctor, Emily learned early on that she is not good with nightshifts or bodily fluids, especially blood, so doctor fell off the list of possible jobs. Emily is a full-time Master's student at the University of British Columbia. Her Master's research thesis is on social media and its influences on sexual health education for immigrant women. Emily and Sarah try to solve all of the problems caused by social media in this episode and we get so close! Emily discovered the UBC Comedy Club when she started her Master's and now spends her spare time writing and performing stand-up comedy. She takes inspiration from her experiences as a first-generation Chinese immigrant, arriving in Canada at the age of 8. Emily has advocated for sexual health since high school, and she is also currently the Vice President of the graduate student society at UBC, advocating for government policies related to post-secondary education, sexualized violence, and well-being. Emily comes from a conservative Chinese cultural belief where sexual health is viewed as taboo, she wants to use stand-up comedy as another way to advocate for Asian women.

NBN host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Tim Blacket about his award-winning debut short story collection, Grandview Drive (Nightwood Editions, 2024). Grandview Drive won two Saskatchewan Book Awards—the Fiction Book Award and the First Book Award. This is a pensive and darkly stunning collection that investigates the strange and unexpected intersections of loneliness and connection. From his car, a lonely, heartbroken man secretly watches strangers going about their lives in the comfort of their own homes; when caught, he wrecks his car in an attempt to escape. A man hears a car wreck outside his home and has a wild night of romance with a strange woman he meets at the scene. A reclusive old writer starts to believe he is becoming his own characters as he writes. A college student looks to his girlfriend's diary for pointers on how he should act. A mother confronted with her estranged son's death by car wreck organizes a memorial service for a list of attendees she has never met. This collection of sixteen connected short stories investigates the ways we humans so often feel lonely and alone, yet cannot avoid having our lives be contingent upon others--often in ways we can neither see nor understand. Blackett's characters long for meaningful connection and struggle to find it; they are too often unaware of the connections that are right in front of them. Grandview Drive is a collection that builds on itself; the stories stand on their own, but they are strengthened by the (sometimes secret) connections they hold with each other. Blackett's debut asks the reader to think about love and loss, loneliness and heartbreak, redemption and starting life anew. About Tim Blackett: Tim Blackett is a Canadian writer whose work has appeared in Briarpatch, [spaces], Grain Magazine and a small Saskatchewan journal called Swift, Flowing. He holds a Bachelor of Theology and a BA in English from the University of Regina, as well as a certificate in creative writing from Humber College. His short story collection, Grandview Drive, was shortlisted for two Saskatchewan book awards, and a pre-publication version placed second in the John V. Hicks Long Manuscript Award (2019). The titular story, "Grandview Drive" was longlisted for the Carter v. Cooper Short Fiction Award (2012). Blackett lives in Regina, SK. About Hollay Ghadery: Hollay Ghadery is an Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land. She has her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph. Fuse, her memoir of mixed-race identity and mental health, was released by Guernica Editions in 2021 and won the 2023 Canadian Bookclub Award for Nonfiction/Memoir. Her collection of poetry, Rebellion Box was released by Radiant Press in 2023, and her collection of short fiction, Widow Fantasies, was released with Gordon Hill Press in fall 2024. Her debut novel, The Unraveling of Ou, is due out with Palimpsest Press in 2026, and her children's book, Being with the Birds, with Guernica Editions in 2027.

She also runs a housing ministry and, did I mention she is a mom. How does she do all these things? No one knows! We get into important veterinary clinical topics like horses = cats and dogs = calves and we also share how Figs doesn't want either of us to sell their fancy scrubs, which actually makes Sarah feel a lot better about herself.

Do you know Kim Kerley?  In this episode, we get to know Kim Kerley. She is very special and she knows it!! Kim spent most of her teens homeless, but through sheer determination, she got herself through school and university and is now a teacher and school counsellor, as well as a stand up comedian. A keen observer of life's crazy conditions, her comedy comes from seeking the funny in real life. Kim has been performing stand-up comedy for over 20 years. She is based in San Antonio and has traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad. Kim also, acted with the comedy group, Laff Stock and Dramatic Diva Productions in the San Antonio area and has appeared in feature films with Mutt Productions. She has appeared on The View and The Mike Huckabee Show. Her Dry Bar Comedy special, Do you Know Her and has over 20 million views and it's also available as an album on Spotify.    Kim's skills go beyond comedy as she helmed San Antonio's number 2 drive time morning radio show. The day after being told she was one of the fastest rising women on the radio, she was fired. The fall from radio fame and a paycheck had her seeking miracles for money for small things like food, mortgage payments and those teenage girls she was raising as a single mom. It was during this time so many miracles did come her way, and she began to document and eventually write about her journey, which has now branched out to public speaking and writing.  Kim stays busy sharing her life and journey. She dares you to define the funny in life. “My wish is we can all find our sparkle.”  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/comickim/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/23xcaQxQEmzgizS9npQpRa?si=16k_G07HTui1PakRKZKt3A  Thanks for listening to Comedicine!

Cracking Jokes and Cracking Backs   On this episode, we talk to our first chiropractor! Dr Michael Friedman joins us from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, which is also where Sarah lives now so we are neighbours! Cool. Michael tells us about the pros and cons of practicing as a chiropractor and his stand up comedy, which has been something that he always wanted to do. He finally took the plunge in 2013 and he hasn't looked back. Micheal is a regular around the Ottawa comedy scene and he has also travelled around Canada with his comedy. We get into the very controversial topic of dishwasher loading and Sarah flexes her nerd muscles hard and out-nerds Michael with her utensile loading system! Michael also tells us about a patient who did not think a chiropractor should be a stand up comedian because it is not professional and this led Sarah to think that this woman might be dead inside.

Don't Get Mad, Get Curious and Creative!Lacey PitcherOn this episode of Comedicine, we get to know Lacey Pitcher, Registered Veterinary Nurse and she is a DELIGHT!!!! Lacey shares her insights as a veterinary nurse and the editor of the VN Times. Everything she does is infused with creativity and curiosity and sprinkled with joy! Lacey has found her voice as an author and, although she tends to be most inspired by anger, she loves to give her thoughts on the topics of the day in veterinary medicine. If you tell Lacey no, that probably means she is going to do it anyway, and you should probably just let her TBH. Lacey keeps her comedy life private and tends to write about her disastrous dates and do stand up comedy under an alias in a very strong effort to keep her professional life and her comedy life separate.

Born in 1975, I fell in love with reading and with sailing at a young age. I had two dreams in life: to write a novel and to sail around the world. In 2009, I finally completed my first novel. My seventh published work, WOOL, became an international bestseller and has been translated into nearly 40 languages. My career as a writer has taken me all around the world; I've met amazing readers everywhere I go, and I've seen some extraordinary places. Now I'm embarking on a journey to complete my second dream, that of sailing around the world. This website is a history of both of those dreams. His website is HughHowey.com. ROBERT J.

It's Opposite Day With Rob Lewin!!! This episode is very exciting because it is opposite day with Rob Lewin! Rob is an improviser and sketch comedian living in Guelph, Ontario. His live comedy credits include The Second CityToronto FamCo,The Making-Box Brigade, The Bad Dog Featured Players and festivals such as Toronto Sketchfest, Detroit Improv Festival, Del Close Marathon NYC, and Montreal Improv Festival. He teaches improv and sketch classes with Pinch and you see his sketch duo Corpse perform around Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo. Unlike every other (wonderful) Comedicine guest, who is a health care professional first and then transitions into comedy, Rob has been improvising since before his brain was fully formed. (Grade 9!) Rob is currently in his second year of the Practical Nursing program at Conestoga College. Yes, he is going to keep on doing improv, sketch and teaching improv AND doing nursing, but not at the same time. Would it be cool to teach nurses about improv with his background? Maybe it would, but that's not what Rob is doing here people! Have a listen, Rob is a wonderful improviser, comedian and human and he whoever ends up with him as their nurse and/or in his audience and/orin his improv class is very lucky!!!Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/rob.lewin/Thanks for listening to Comedicine!
