This show has been sitting in the can for quite a while now. This is a soundseeing tour of three exhibitors at the Holistic World Expo in Ottawa, October 2005. My guide is Markus, the Director of Media Relations for this event. The next expo will be in Toronto, March 17-19, 2006.
Incidentally, this is the same Expo at which I interviewed Patch Adams.
My good friend, Robert Farrell, has launched a guitar instruction podcast. Bigfoot, from Robert’s CD Elegant Chaos, is the theme for my Portrait shows.
It’s official. I am now producing three podcasts! My latest Podcast initiative, Growing Enthusiasm, is about adults and children discovering life and was launched last night with the release of our Tobogganning episode.
Is it possible to have a sustainable, vibrant and affluent downtown core in your city? Perhaps you already have one. Ottawa is struggling. In fact, downtown proper in Ottawa suffers from an extreme shortage of after hours attractions such as quality restaurants and theatres. I spoke with Clive Doucet, councillor of Ward 17 in the City of Ottawa to learn about the economics of downtown.

I was able to get to the Rideau Canal in the evening, after most of the skaters had left the Winterlude festivities for the night. If you haven’t been before, it’s time!
Lorne has been hosting CBC Radio’s Madly Off In All Directions comedy show for ten of the last eleven years (sabbatical, in case you’re wondering). He’s about to wrap up his tenure with the CBC to focus on his own comedy career, and his unique life experiences.
As if two Podcasts aren’t enough, I’m about to embark on another Podcast project. Growing Enthusiasm is a new podcast that will be launched in the next week or so. It’s about the discovery of life, for the first time, by parents and their children. In the meantime, a quick teaser is available for download from the site.
