In this episode, I connect with Michel Durand-Wood, the Elmwood Guy behind the popular blog Dear Winnipeg, for a conversation about his efforts to engage his community in discussions surrounding municipal finance, channeling a Strong Towns approach, and mobilizing a coalition of neighborhood groups to take immediate action on the streets with the city's (reluctant) support.

10-7-25 Tonight we're talking meadmaking with Bill Bellair and Rob Barnhart. Both are experienced meadmakers that create excellent meads. And both have taken their share of awards at competitions. Bill Bellair began his mead-making journey in 2008 when his mother expressed interest in trying tej, a traditional Ethiopian honey wine, which was unavailable locally. His early attempts—while not without the occasional "bottle bomb"—yielded surprisingly delicious results. Following this, Bill turned his attention to beer brewing, and it would be several years before he returned to crafting mead. During this time, he joined the Metro Enologist 'n' Zymurgist (MENZ) club, where he expanded his skills in winemaking. This experience gave him valuable insight into the mistakes he had made in his early mead-making efforts, reigniting his passion for the craft. This marked the beginning of a dedicated era of mead production that continues to this day. In 2019, Bill founded the Michigan Mead Coalition, the state's largest mead-exclusive organization. The coalition has fostered a thriving community of skilled brewers, many of whom have earned prestigious awards and even pursued the coveted title of Mead Maker of the Year. Rob Barnhart has been making mead since 2018. He started making mead January of 2018 because he doesn't like beer. He was playing Skyrim a lot and looked it up on YouTube. Down the rabbit hole he went. Soon after he found Gotmead and Modern Mead Makers. He then talked Vicky into meeting him at St Ambrose and Vicky and Kirk told Rob to enter comps. He didn't do too badly. So far he has 25 medals but still haven't gotten the coveted best in show.

Another special interview for a long weekend, as Episode 44 brings a conversation with Carmen Prefontaine, seeking the city council seat in Elmwood-East Kildonan on October 25.8.40 Part 2 - First-time candidate Carmen Prefontaine brings over 16 years of experience as a City of Winnipeg employee, along with her current union leadership role to her campaign. She says her decision to run stems from a long-standing residency in the community and her connection with the late Coun.

I have a very in-depth knowledge of the processes that go on, especially the budget and fiscal matters." 14.20 - Prefontaine speaks about her meeting with the Firefighters union and how the city could have hired permanent staff "and save us money in the long term" insteed of paying for overtime and added Workers Compensation Board claims.

In the Twentieth Century, Chicago's Midway Airport had a sign that read “Crossroads of the World,” and during its heyday Midway literally was the aviation center of the world.  From a historical perspective the same has been true for Chicago reaching back a century earlier as a critical hub of the railroads, during the Industrial Age as a center for trade and manufacturing, and for centuries before a meeting place for uncounted generations of Native Americans.   The geographic reality was that where the Chicago river and estuaries of the Chicago region meet the southwest corner of Lake Michigan attracted indigenous peoples, Potawatomi, Miami, Anishinaabeg, Ho-Chunk, or Sauk and assuredly others portaging the divide, arriving by canoe or on foot.  Sometimes they stayed for a while or moved with the migration of the game and seasonal changes. Hence this place called Chicago despite the low lying, swampy, muddy, and unattractive ground due to it's elemental location and convenient waterways has continued for centuries to be a key to the continent. This juxtaposition has spawned innumerable books on Chicago. In this episode we talk with author and Associate Professor of History John William Nelson Ph.D. about his recently published book Muddy Ground; Native Peoples, Chicago's Portage, and the Transformation of a Continent. This exhaustive history underpinned by impressive research re-enforces the basic fact that geography frequently dictates the destiny of an area and out of this meeting place and important key transportation link to the continent this muddy ground eventually gave rise to a mighty city.  Dr. Nelson's book brings important new insights and a fresh perspective on the Canon of portage history for Chicago to offer the reader a fresh perspective of the region and its importance for Native Americans and foundational story of Chicago's origin and settlement.

Welcome to season 3, episode 21 of The Fuel Run Recover podcast, where I'm so excited to share with you this conversation with recent Fuel Train Recover program 'graduate' Diane Wing, who shares her inspiring story of overcoming immense personal challenges to unlocking a BQ performance at this year's Fargo marathon. But, as if that isn't enough of an accomplishment for one season, Diane is currently planning a run across Manitoba this summer to raise money for mental health and suicide prevention. Here's a little more about Diane!Diane Wing is a 1st grade teacher, mother of 2 and a grandmother of 2 (her 4 greatest accomplishments) from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. She started her running journey after her husband passed away in 2012 for her mental wellness. In 2014, she ran her first 1/2 marathon at the MB Marathon as part of a relay team with her cousins (as a tribute to her late husband, Kelly). She really enjoyed this experience and was hooked. A couple years ago, she decided to start a running group in Portage la Prairie and met some amazing like minded people. Some of them have even done some travel fun races together (Vegas and Phoenix Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathons). Last year she decided to run a 1/2 marathon in each province. This year she decided to try to qualify for Boston at the Fargo Marathon and to do a run across Manitoba for her 50th birthday (50km a day for 10 days). To accomplish these last two goals, she needed some help getting her guts under control. This is where Steph came in (she was perfect because could help Diane achieve her running and dietary needs goals). Recently, Diane got her BQ time and now she is focused on her run across MB. She is hoping to see some friendly faces along the way and raise some money for CMHA (mental health and suicide prevention).You can learn more about Diane's journey and support her by visiting her Facebook or Instagram pages, and donate to The Canadian Mental Health Association here!

Episode 370: In this episode, we journey into the chilling case of Jesse Imeson—a man whose troubled past and violent crimes left a deep scar on Southwestern Ontario. In the summer of 2007, Imeson's name became synonymous with fear as he embarked on a deadly spree, taking three innocent lives. The victims were Carlos Rivera, 25, of Windsor and Helene Regier, 72, and her husband, Bill Regier, 73, near the community of Grand Bend. The discovery of the murders sparked a 12-day nationwide manhunt and led to the capture of the killer in Portage-du-Forte, Quebec, near the Ontario border. However, behind the headlines lies a story of trauma, addiction, and claims of childhood abuse that may have shaped the path to his horrific acts.
