Sammy Younan

After our summer vacation Gregg Tilston and I got back in studio for a chat with Girth Radio founder Sammy Younan.

We discussed the rise and fall (but not dead!) of Girth Radio’s longtime home at the Pacific Junction Hotel, what’s coming up at the Toronto International Film Festival, movie spoilers, and the all too important topic of urinal etiquette.

Thanks to CF Toronto Eaton Centre for hosting us in their pop-up studio!

This is Episode #187 of the Welcome! podcast.

Episode #90: TIFF 2017 Director Karim Sayad

Karim Sayad is at TIFF 2017 to show his film, Of Sheep And Men.

Sixteen-year-old Habib dreams of becoming a veterinarian. Unable to study for his hoped-for profession, he has bought a sheep named El Bouq. His hope is to train the animal to become a fighting champion.
With the Eid celebration fast approaching, Samir who only wants to sell sheep, has a unique opportunity  to maximise his profits, as everyone in the country will be buying sheep for slaughter. But for Habib, it’s another story… Will El Bouq become a champion ? Or will he face a more tragic destiny?
Recorded (most of the time) live at Girth Radio.
Music by Afraaz Mulji.
