Canadian Grit: North of Ordinary

🎙️Real Stories. Real History. Real People.

Shaping what I am calling the current

Canadian Renaissance— the grassroots creation of a curious, awakening, and holistically informed Canada 2.0. 🇨🇦

You and me. Together. 

With  msome amazing characters and brand new friends from all eras, domains, and walks of life. From the past and now— forging new perspectives *together,* and shaping what I see as meaningful historic transition taking place… right now… during *our lifetime.*

It’s the Canadian Renaissance that I’m witnessing and chronicling, shared through our lenses of our evolving national identity and what Canada is meant to become in the 21st century and beyond. 

I present thoughtful, novel, and critical considerations diverse perspectives about how we best move forward in these often difficult, fragmented, and dehumanized times by looking at our whole list of human experiences of our minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions. 

This is a show for everyone, or anything (most certainly of the feline variety! 🐈‍⬛).

If you’re like me, you’re already a passionate explorer and what I call a ‘Postmodern Elder in thy hybrid reality’… awakening at a time of toxic and normalized fragmentation and dissociation (Gabor Maté, 2022).

Come unweave our myth of normal, and create something based on courage and love instead. 

Interested in getting to learn more about our world in the ongoing, and exponentially growing digital-industrial revolution in the postmodern, globalized context?

I offer honesty, humour, directness, authenticity, depth, breadth, and democratic voice to Canadians like you and me.

I am a dealer of perspectives… throwing metaphorical (hopefully) spaghetti at the wall for fun; just to see what sticks— often to draw attention to the status quo for exposure, and to shake, rattle, and roll what so many of us call 'normal,' and to ask why we've normalized it.

I bring you books, literature, research, popular culture, shows, movies, and MUSIC through the lens of our evolving national identity by presenting and thoughtfully considering novel, critical, and diverse perspectives about how we may best move forward in these often difficult, fragmented, and dehumanized times… by looking in our own rear view mirror from time to time. 

This podcast is a show for everyone who likes anything, and is interested in getting to learn more about our world in the ongoing, and exponentially growing digital-industrial revolution in the postmodern, globalized context.

🏴‍☠️Hop aboard, Mateys. The ship is nigh ready to shove off toward New Found Lands. 

Leave yer bags behind, as treasures unknown to all of history await.. just for us to explore together… and what we’ll find we will bring back to share with others what we discover through time aboard our custom, 100% after-market, Canadian-built, eco-friendly “Canadian Friend Ship” I’ve built just for you, the Canadian Grit VIPs who all this is for. 🏴‍☠️❤️

All you need is a little imagination. 

See you soon.
