His people are under oppression by China and through their colonial actions, Babur believes his people are subject to a genocide. Our discussion highlights his roots in his culture and country. His work to highlight all the suffering of the Uyghur people. And he apparently likes pineapple on pizza. I mean... talk about controversy.

He asked to interview me, and I asked to interview him in turn. He allowed me to appropriate his warm up routine for interviewing - a process that I think has really helped me to connect with my guests (for my other podcast) and which I am truly grateful. He’s also got a sandwich named after him. Which is pretty cool. However, he hates peanut butter so... I'm not sure we can still be friends. Look for him and his podcast My Wax Museum.

Her unique perspective both as a Calgarian, 2nd generation Chinese Canadian, and her own life experiences help me frame some of the questions about a world that I'm foreign to. Our first talk focused largely on her entrepreneurial energy in building Kokedama but also hinted at how much of that was tied into her being true to her emerging self. As we discuss, a "self" that has likely been present since her birth.

He showed up at an art show I put on and we struck up a conversation about technology and art. I then found out he was teaching at U of C and he gave me the opportunity to work with his students on building an art app. While it didn’t conclude in anything market ready, we’ve since kept in touch about that next opportunity to bring technology and creativity together. Sasha Ivanov talks to me about the tech world of today and his field of evolutionary computing. Warning - if you’re frightened of AI, algorithms, and computers in general, this will probably not assay any of your fears. But if we can get more people like Sasha running the show, I’m sure we can delay our inveitblae robot overlords for some time and keep making amazing interactive and expansive art together. *** This episode is brought to you by the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB.

On this episode I sit down with Alice Lam, an incredible entrepreneur and Calgarian motivated by culture and community building. We met through mutual friends Caleb and Kitty, owner and operators of Sought and Found Coffee Roasters in Crescent Heights. They told me of this mystical woman landlord who built night markets and backyard community parties and was scouring the city for like minded people to help stimulate arts and culture, even offering contacts through her property management career to access spaces for shows and events. I have since learned that her connection to the city is one that defines her. Everything she does is underlined by an innate desire to push calgary forward into the collaborative environment we all desire. Hear her vision for the city we live in, where she comes from and how her life has shaped her vision of what Calgary can be. Whether it’s working to develop neighbourhoods, building artists spaces, creating neighbourhood events , inventing a volunteer app ( www.vollyapp.com ), apparently writing children’s fiction, administrating for the women’s march, advocating for the Chinese Canadian community , and the myriad other pieces of her resume… I think we can all agree on one thing: There cannot possibly be a way that this woman sleeps! *** This episode is brought to you by the Alberta Podcast Network , powered by ATB .

This week a Photography double header: I chat with marketing director, photographer and friend, Evelyn Drake . The Camera Store is putting on a 2 day show.

This week a Photography double header: I chat with friend, photographer, and professional Risk Manager, Curtis Desniatyk. Or Dez for short . He's put together a yearly show in collaboration with Mount Royal University and the Exposure Photography Festival , here in Calgary, Alberta. This year's show - Intersections - focuses on "street" photography - or, as I learned in our chat, more about the intersection of photography and humanity and culture. Curtis is always looking to connect his audience with other people and what better way of showing this than using the Main Hall of the University to get the word out. selected artists: Curtis (Dez) Desiatnyk , Jeremy Fokkens , Asim Overstands , Zach Polis , Cary Schatz and Anne Tapler White .

A little while ago I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend Caine Chow. Caine used to have a tiny hidden shop called Kokedama Atelier at the back of a men’s store called Stuff4Him . I was amazed when I saw these weird tiny trees and plants growing out of… moss balls. Fanstatic art. And such an eccentric and positive person. Male presenting at the time. My wife and I have had the pleasure of befriending Caine as a entrepreneur, artist, parent, and recently a transitioning female. In this episode Caine and I sit down to discuss her life leading up to today. The parallels between pushing out of the corporate world and her movement to find her own identity were fascinating and I am planning to continue our conversation.

But outside of particular chronic or major emergency issues and the speed in which their system integrates everything (at least compared to the Toronto I left 7 years ago) their amazing general services (shout out to 811! Nurses rock!) have been a key part when Helen and I worried our son Emerson was sick. As he grows older he’s learning to have great confidence in our health system.

After a few weeks to collect myself I’m here to get the Perspectives mojo back. To start off, this episode is a conversation I had with Phillip David this past September. I had learned that my friend was moving away from Calgary and I wanted to know why. I first met Phillip probably in 2013 when he answered a Kijiji ad to buy a tripod from me! Ha. Down in the lobby of my condo. We exchanged socials and moved from there. He’s shown his work in both Perspectives art shows and in our magazine. He was a professional online poker player, as you’ll notice in our talk and has his take on both the art life, how it relates through his structured gambling experience, and his own insight into the Calgary art scened and why he was on his way back to Saskachetwan.

Last month I sat down with friend and talented photographer Alvin Paringit to get caught up on a busy year and discuss the "street photography" scene, inspiration, and the idea of photography itself. For others. For our selves. The role of the subjects, particularly in the public street photo scene. And to generally discuss both of our artistic existential struggles. He let me put a mic on him.

I sit down with Thana Boonlert - street photographer , mountain hiker , and Calgary's Federal Green Party Candidate . This man loves a challenge. We chat about what he sees in this campaign; how he's dealt with his recent lay off/job loss; the impression of inner city Calgarians he's getting from endless door-knocking; the status of politics in general; and why he wants to work with the Green Party. He believes we need to have #courage to invest our votes in our personal beliefs and not in partisan strategy. He believes that the Green Party has the base scientific and empathetic roots to take Canada there. He believes this fall will reflect this! Let me know what you think! Is Calgary more Progressive than we think? If we get away from the fear of job loss and the boom-busy economy - do we care about the planet long term?

Today we have a special conversation with the minds behind Like New Vintage and Secret Shop YYC - Nick , Tam , and Jimmy . We spend a bit of time to explore who they are, where they came from, and how they are working together to stimulate and grow creative culture here in Calgary.

They have vision, direction, and great perspective on what’s hip and cool collaborative programs - like their upcoming show with Velour Clothing Exchange and Pulse Dance Studios aptly named “Something from Nothing”.
