On Oct. 9, around 2,500 strangers packed Montreal's Place des Arts concert hall to sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" in surprisingly perfect harmony. The melody was beautiful. In a video recording posted online, tears and smiles are visible as people sing out the familiar chorus. You could say it was a spiritual performance—unless you're Nobu Adilman, who co-organized the event, for whom this mass choir has always been about enjoying life. While people often feel tapped into a higher power, Adilman is more pragmatic about the whole thing. Adilman, along with his artistic partner, Daveed Goldman, founded the group Choir! Choir! Choir! in a living room more than a decade ago. The idea was simple: strangers singing songs together. Those first contributors had so much fun, Adilman and Goldman decided to keep it going. The group grew in popularity until they amassed hundreds of thousands of social media followers and tour dates that rack up hundreds, even thousands of paying attendees. And before all that, Adilman worked at CBC with a young Ralph Benmergui. Adilman reconnects with his old mentor on Not That Kind of Rabbi to discuss the origins of his hit group and the innate spirituality of music.

Such a lovely talk with Nobu Adilman. The self-proclaimed professional amateur has lived many artistic lives, from hosting ZED on CBC to founding Choir! Choir! Choir! we talk about how he fell in love with creativity, and the influence of his family. We discuss the importance of rejection and ridicule in any career. Buckle up, this one's full of wisdom, a caffeine-inspired saunter through the mind of Nobu Adilman.

Imagine a whole community gathering together to sing their favorite songs. Any large-scale event that brings people together after the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic is noteworthy, but one that includes many friends and neighbors meeting to create music is what headlines are made of. CHOIR!CHOIR!CHOIR! is a free community sing-in sponsored by the Appell Center for the Performing Arts in York this Saturday where anyone can show up to sing with one another. On Wednesday's Smart Talk, we're joined by CHOIR!CHOIR!CHOIR! co-founders and directors Nobu Adilman and Daveed Goldman and Todd Fogdall, President & CEO, Appell Center for Performing Arts.

Choir master and co-head of Choir!Choir!Choir! Nobu Adilman asks is there even a point doing a show right now? Plus, how choral singing can never end.  But first, they're throwing gravel at the Prime Minister, social media is tearing the moral, intellectual and cultural fabric of society, and the Tyndall Centre creates a blueprint for zero carbon concerts.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON - $3/MTH - EARLY ACCESS - PROCEEDS TO THE AFCLINKS:Windsor's Restrictions on Dancing at WeddingsTyndall Centre Manchester creates plans for zero carbon concertsSPONSORS:Effin' BirdsInvest with Tim ZieglerCrow's Theatre

Impeachment Trial Moves Toward Key VotesGuest: James Curry, PhD, Professor of Political Science, University of Utah; Robert Adler, JD, Distinguished Professor, SJ Quinney College of Law, University of UtahThe process of impeaching President Donald J. Trump is winding down. Last week, House Democrats voted to impeach, the US Senate convened a trial and that's what's been playing out this last week. First House Democrats got 24 hours to make the case that President Trump abused his power and obstructed justice –two counts the Democrats say warrant impeaching and removing the president from office. Then the President's legal team had 24 hours to present their defense. And now the trial is in question and answer phase.  Our Obsession With Natural ProductsGuest: Alan Levinovitz, Associate Professor of Religion, James Madison University, Author of Natural: How Faith in Nature's Goodness Leads to Harmful Fads, Unjust Laws, and Flawed ScienceWe're told–and a lot of us agree–that natural is always better, whether it's food, flavors and fibers or skin care and supplements. But did you know that the FDA doesn't even define what “natural” means on a food label? It's basically just a marketing ploy to catch your attention –and it works. Lifestyle brands like Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop have made obsessing about all things natural into a lucrative business. Setting aside the often dubious health and wellness claims attached to anything “natural,” why do we place so much value in the idea of it?  Auditioning to Become Indiana Jones' SidekickGuest: Nobu Adilman, Documentary Filmmaker of Short Round Up, Musician and ArtistShort Round is maybe the most memorable character in an Indiana Jones movie next to Indy himself. Jonathan Ke Quan played the spunky sidekick in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. But thousands of other kids auditioned for the role, including Nobu Adilman. He made a short documentary called Short Round Up in which he tracks down some of the other aspiring actors who also auditioned for the role.  I'm Not Normal and Neither Are You. Nathaniel and Magda Newman on Life With Treacher Collins SyndromeGuest: Magda and Nathaniel Newman, Authors of Normal: A Mother and Her Beautiful SonThe book for young readers called Wonder by RJ Palacio–and the movie based on it –gave people a better understanding of Treacher Collins syndrome. It's a genetic condition that causes severe facial deformities like Auggie has in Wonder. Nathaniel Newman is sometimes called “the real life Auggie,” because he has Treacher Collins, too, but that's pretty much where the similarities stop. Nathaniel and his mother Magda are now telling their story in a memoir called Normal: A Mother and Her Beautiful Son. It's just been published in two versions–one for young readers and one for adults. Using A.I. to Improve Breast Cancer DetectionGuest: Mozziyar Etemadi, MD, PhD, Research Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at Northwestern University, Physician at Northwestern MedicineTens of millions of women in the US get a mammogram each year, because it remains the best way we have to catch breast cancer early. But it's far from fool-proof. The American Cancer Society says mammograms miss one out of every five breast cancers. And on the flip side, half of women getting a yearly mammogram will end up with a false alarm diagnosis over a 10-year period. Could artificially intelligent software do a better job than human doctors analyzing mammograms?

*“Every single time we go out there, we're looking to make a connection with people-to make people feel like they came to the right place and that they can carry that forward. A critical number of people have shown us or told us that what we're doing is important to them and that keeps us going.” - Nobu Adilman * In 2010, Nobu Adilman and Daveed Goldman posted on Facebook asking if anyone wanted to sing in a choir with them at a real estate office where a friend worked in Toronto. He and Daveed prepared some minor arrangements to "Nowhere Man" by The Beatles and "Just A Smile" by Pilot. "It was kind of extraordinary what happened that night. People we didn't even know showed up," Nobu told us. At the end of the evening, people wanted us to do it again the next day. Choir! Choir! Choir! was born. They ended up hosting the Choir! every Tuesday for the next year. To participate in a Choir! Choir! Choir! event, you simply show up to their venue, pay five dollars for a lyrics sheet (more if they're touring), rehearse a three-part harmony, and then perform it with a crowd of strangers. Many of their videos have gone viral, from Prince and David Bowie tributes, to sing-alongs led in-person by famous musicians like David Byrne, Rufus Wainwright, and Patti Smith. In our interview, we ask Nobu about how Choir! Choir! Choir! went from something he and some friends started in a real estate office in Toronto to the phenomenon it has become.

I attend the third annual Best Butter Tart Festival in Midland Ontario and discover the tart's latest incarnation. The deep-fried butter tart is nothing short of sublime. I chat with fest founder Barb Rowlandson and inventor Cathy Moreau about how it came to be. Nobu Adilman, a judge in the butter tart competition, also offers his take on this all Canadian dessert.
