  Aug 17, 202628 minS4

  Giulia Bruno opened her own restaurant at 19, starting in a Calgary food court before eventually moving Pronto YYC into its current Inglewood home. When paying influencers proved too expensive, Giulia decided to try making the content herself. One of her first pizza videos hit 1.5 million views, and what started as a way to bring local customers through the door quickly grew into an audience of millions around the world. Giulia talks about building Pronto with her family, learning to handle criticism and pressure online, balancing life as a business owner and creator, and why she is always thinking ten years ahead. She also shares her bigger plans for the brand, including frozen pizza, a cookbook, and eventually her own show.

  Aug 10, 202653 minS4

  City Hall affects more of your daily life than most people realize. Adam MacVicar is the City Hall reporter for Global News Calgary, and he has spent years following the decisions, debates, reports and infrastructure issues that shape how Calgary actually functions. In this episode, Adam talks about how he got into journalism, what brought him back to Calgary, and what covering the city has taught him about the place he calls home. We get into how he decides what matters when a council agenda runs hundreds of pages, why some important stories barely get attention, how quickly a story can change late in the day, and what it takes to turn complicated municipal decisions into something people can actually understand. Adam also reflects on the stories that have stayed with him, learning to trust his judgment as a reporter, and the responsibility that comes with covering a community. Plus, growing up watching Global Calgary, becoming a Flames fan, boxing, learning to switch off from the news, and where Calgarians should start if they want a better understanding of how the city actually works.

  A Jazz Singer, Former CBC Host and Part-Time Monk Walk Into a Podcast | Tim Tamashiro

  Aug 3, 202648 minS4

  Tim Tamashiro has lived a few different lives in Calgary. He has been a jazz singer, CBC Radio host, author, speaker, cruise ship presenter, and part-time monk. Through every chapter, he says the same purpose has kept showing up: to delight people. Tim talks about leaving CBC at 52, reinventing himself, and discovering how ikigai connects what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs from you, and how you can be rewarded for sharing it. He also opens up about losing connection during the pandemic, getting pulled into the doom scroll of “angertainment,” and experiencing mental health issues that led him to Buddhism and a monastery in Thailand. The conversation gets into suffering less, starting a new band at 60, learning from Leonard Cohen, and his idea for Me School in Calgary.

  The Stories We Tell Through Food | Julie Van Rosendaal

  Jul 20, 20261h 13mS4

  Food is never just about what is on the plate. Julie Van Rosendaal has spent her career writing cookbooks, talking about food on CBC Radio, and exploring the stories that surround the way people cook, eat, and care for each other. She joins Jeff Dudder to talk about growing up in Calgary, building a career as a food writer, finding her creative voice, and why the most ordinary meals can carry the most meaning. Julie shares the story behind her investigation into Canada’s unusually firm butter, the pressure and possibility created by food media, and how cooking has remained a source of comfort throughout her life. They also discuss Calgary’s changing food scene, food insecurity in schools, the community meal programs Julie helped organize during the pandemic, and her return to self-publishing. Her newest cookbook, Cathy the Mail Girl’s Mother’s Cookies, was inspired by her grandmother’s recipe box and the memories preserved inside it. At its heart, this is a conversation about the stories we pass down, the people we gather around the table, and the ways food helps us connect.

  The Truth About Coyotes in Calgary | Dr. Shelley Alexander

  Jun 29, 20261h 6mS4

  Coyotes are everywhere in Calgary, but most of us do not understand what they are actually doing. Dr. Shelley Alexander is a University of Calgary professor and specialist in wild canid ecology, conservation, and coexistence. In this episode, she joins The Deets with Duddy to talk about coyotes, fear, wildlife conflict, and why so much of what people believe about these animals is shaped by misunderstanding. Shelley explains why coyote behaviour is often misread as aggression, how coyote families operate, what the real risk is to people and pets, and why labels like “pest” and “nuisance” change the way society treats wildlife. It is a conversation about Calgary, urban wildlife, coexistence, science, ethics, and how fear can turn animals into villains.
