B.C. Wine, Magic Mushrooms, & Nanaimo BarsCan you buy B.C. wine this year? Do magic mushrooms have any health benefits? Is the noble Nanaimo Bar celebrated outside of B.C.? This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir chats with wine professional Tania Tomaszewska to discuss how a cold snap in January has decimated B.C. wine production this year and what that means for B.C. wine lovers. Plus, drug policy reform advocate Dana Larsen gives a primer on magic mushrooms (psilocybin) and microdosing. Lastly, YouTuber J.J. McCullough is not a big fan of Nanaimo Bars.Recorded: March 25, 2024

Opening a recent article in The Walrus, Kevin Patterson evoked the Nanaimo of a few decades ago. What he described sounds in many ways rougher than what you might picture today. A resource economy in decline, unemployment passing twelve per cent, and jokes about Hell's Angels and Nanaimo Bars seeming not too far from reality. […]

This week's episode discusses culinary appropriation with Dr. Helen Vallianatos, an anthropologist. Podcast producer Saveta Cartwright explores the limits and differences between appropriation, appreciation, and integration. And how does it all connect back to a humble dessert from Nanaimo, BC?

Resident Canadian Alicia Tobin is back to disparage a popular chocolate brand and Josh Gondelman who has been on a Monday show makes his Thursday show debut. For someone who gets up at 2am every night to walk and feed his pug, he's surprisingly chipper. We get to the bottom of Nanaimo bars, spring cleaning, shoes, my heat pad, the Farmer's Hello, Mandy Patinken and so much more. And we hear a defense of thongs. Plus we do a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze.

This week, Tom calls up award-winning singer-songwriter Loryn Taggart to talk about her all-time favorite Canadian Food, Nanaimo Bars! We also talk peameal bacon, hickory, and tire- not the rubber ones that live on cars, but the delicious winter treat! And, we get into our shared love of BBQ and our mutual Hungarian backgrounds, because chicken paprikash is delicious and it's never a good idea to smoke a watermelon with mesquite!

Most of us who have the privilege to be able to keep our jobs (and are likely working from home) during this global pandemic feel pretty darn lucky. Many who are working from home even prefer it! But with the holidays approaching, it got us thinking about the parties we are going to miss out on this year -- the ones we liked going to, and the ones, as HR, we hated planning. This year, it is a different conversation and it goes something like this: how can we, as leaders, create meaningful conditions of connection? How do we celebrate together without overwhelming each other? What kind of connection do people need or expect? Great. This planning seems EVEN harder than chicken, fish or vegan! Key Takeaways: Find ways to provide different options for people to participate, so it’s not simply another large virtual gathering. Maybe it’s an opportunity to try something new that always got ex-nayed in the past. If you are organizing a company holiday activity, make it truly optional! That also means no judgy judgerson if employees don’t show up. As the pandemic and the safety protocols have continued, we just may miss the holiday party more than we anticipated. Bah, COVIDbug. Holiday Bonus Takeaway: Sarah makes delicious Nanaimo Bars!! She uses sea salt on the top...amazing!

Ryan Price, Corey Polkinghorne, and James Ball attempt to discuss news and life in Victoria B.C.

Shakespeare's original comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream follows young lovers and old lovers into the mystical, natural space of the forest, where the rules don't apply the way they do anywhere else. Continuing the increasing sophistication of his plays of late, Shakespeare comments on both the nature of love and the nature of the theatre. Join us as we discuss one of our favourite of the Bard's comedies! Notes: - The content of 1 Corinthians is partly mixed up by Nick Bottom after his sojourn in the woods; it's one of the most famous parts from the New Testament, and passages from it are routinely recited at weddings (much like Shakespeare's sonnets!) - Joseph Campell's monomyth and later amendments by scholars like David Adams Leeming discuss the mythological underpinnings of the journey all heroic figures take as their stories are told; though not a strictly heroic tale, Midsummer does borrow from these ideas to describe the journey of the lovers from civilization to chaos and back again. - For more discussion about forests and liminal spaces, check out this blog post - Read up on the Coffee Shop AU, a common trope in the world of fanfiction - A funny version of the Tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe, starring The Beatles, from 1964 for Shakespeare's 400th birthday -- a must watch! - We had the opportunity to chat with John Bernardy of 25YL Site about the thematic links between Midsummer and our old fave, Twin Peaks -- check out our discussion about faeries and Lodges and forested liminal spaces (oh my!) - If you haven't seen the 1999 theatrical version of this play, we recommend it! - ...and if you don't know what Nanaimo Bars are, here's a recipe Ancient Bickerings Of all the pairings and couplings going on in A Midsummer Night's Dream, which couple is our favourite?

My special guest for this episode is Lisa Marie Smith.  Lisa is a Las Vegas-based singer, dancer & model.  She's appeared as a headliner in shows on the Vegas strip at the Stratosphere and the Palazzo.  In late-2017, she signed her first record deal with Fervor Records and in November 2018, she released her debut self-titled EP featuring her single, "Get Closer To Me".  Lisa is currently in the process of launching her new band project, LMS. Lisa is also one of my closest friends.  In the time we've known each other, she's become like a sister to me.  I've introduced her to Canadian delicacies like All-Dressed & Ketchup Chips, Buttertarts and Nanaimo Bars and she's taken me and my wife out to some awesome Vegas restaurants, bars and shows.  Lisa has been there for me during some very tough times and I've been fortunate enough to be able to do the same for her. During our podcast conversation we talked about growing up in Las Vegas, touring around the world performing on cruise ships, her charity work, her vocal teaching and we also talked about some of her recent personal physical struggles. Follow Lisa on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.  Stream her EP on Apple Music and Spotify or download from iTunes.
