In keeping with the season, we have a special "treat" for you in our latest podcast. As part of our continuing series, entitled: "You Do What For a Living" we interviewed two very creative people. Coko Galore is a comedy writer/actor who is starring on the stage of Second City.
And Kurt Scanlan has managed to turn a childhood passion into a career as a children's toy designer. They both provided us with an entertaining glimpse of their fascinating professions. We hope you enjoy it.

EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY...for Toronto's esteemed Photo Laureate,
Nadya Kwandibens.

Nadya brings an indigenous perspective to her award-winning photography.  In this podcast you will learn  that it isn't just her technical ability with the camera that makes her work so special, it's  her gentle nature and empathy for her subjects that allows her to build a trust with people and that is evident in all her portraits. As she likes to say: "The camera is an extension of my arm".

The "Clock Guy" who keeps Toronto ticking!
In this second episode of our series called "You do what for a living?" we introduce you to John Scott, affectionately known as the Clock Guy in Toronto. John is responsible for keeping many of our city's tower clocks running smoothly and chiming on time. John gives us a master class on how gems such as the Old City Hall tower clock operate.

After listening to John, you will be left with a whole new appreciation of this scientific wonder known as the tower clock.

In this podcast we launch the first episode of our occasional series about people who have interesting, if somewhat unusual occupations. And Austin Emery certainly fits the bill. Over his lifetime, Austin has attended more than 500 events dressed as a mascot. He has worn every costume you can imagine. But wait; there's more! In addition to being a mascot, he also is an accomplished sculptor who invites complete novices into his backyard and allows them to create a small sculpture which he then adapts to a larger finished piece that will occupy a public space in the community. By any measure, he is a cherished hidden gem.
