Sailor Calypso Says
In this podcast, we talk about pop culture and many other nerdy, nostalgic things. We'll try to keep it to the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, but sometimes things go sideways. On every episode, we chat with guests about...well, who knows? We will try a fun snack food not typically found in western Canada and read some mail we've received recently. Stick around.
