Welcome! Season One

Season One of my latest podcast project, Welcome!, is now in the can. Welcome! is designed to showcase conversations with members of Toronto’s creative community. They can be musicians, artists, and even entrepreneurs. Essentially, anyone who lives or works in Toronto that is doing interesting things.

I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing serial entrepreneurs, agency executives, teachers, designers, musicians, and even someone who was running for office in the last federal election.

I’m looking forward to Season Two of Welcome! You can expect to hear from people whom you know. And many that you don’t know. However, there is one thing you can expect: The conversations will shed light on the lives, success and failures of these people. I hope you enjoy this ride as much as I will enjoy bringing it to you.

Remember to follow my episodes of Welcome! on Girth Radio. You can also follow me on the Welcome! MixCloud station.
