  Episode 1: Talking community and post-Chumbawamba music with Danbert Nobacon

  Aug 5, 20261h 14mS4

  This conversation with Danbert Nobacon focuses on the themes of community, the importance of play, which manifests itself theatrically in his music, and what an artist can expect to achieve through their art. Danbert reached the height of his fame as a member of Chumbawamba, but he continues to create high-quality thought-provoking protest music with the Axis of Dissent, and during this chat he delves into the ideas that provoked him to write some of his post-Chumbawamba songs, such his time spent studying children’s play in college inspiring “Crazy Demons Play” or his interest in the social evolution of humans inspiring “Bringing Up B.B.B.B.E.” Although the conversation touches on some dark topics, Danbert maintains an optimistic outlook believing that the positive spirit of community can overcome the fascist elements that are currently vying for control of our lives.

  Episode 4: Stevie Bees chats about Trans activism, support, and the David Tennant boost

  Mar 31, 202535 minS2

  On this podcast, I chat with Stevie Bees about the boost that David Tennant gave to their trans-positive T-shirt brand. You can see and order a shirt yourself at www.steviesafespaces.com. That boost in popularity has enabled Stevie to infuse more positive energy into the gender-diverse community we live in through activism, bursaries, and public speaking. We also speak about some of the more terrifying aspects of the rise of right-wing politicians and how to prepare if Canada follows the path America is currently on and things get worse here in Canada for members of the trans community.

  Episode #3

  Episode 3: A conversation with Perth-Wellington NDP candidate, Jason Davis,, Ontario Election 2025

  Feb 24, 202554 minS2

  On this podcast, I chat with Jason Davis, the NDP candidate for Perth-Wellington in the 2025 Ontario Election. This has been a snap election, and it will all be over by the end of February 27. We chatted about healthcare, education, harm reduction, and transportation, and he lays out plans for a responsible Ontario government that would help lift the weight that our current government has downloaded to municipalities and back up to the government in Queen’s Park. He talks about his passion for coming up with effective, affordable housing options and his dedication to saving lives through maintaining, not cutting, harm reduction options across the province. Davis also spoke of NDP plans to help combat food insecurity that would encourage the use of locally harvested produce and options that would help make food costs more affordable. This is a snap election; it might be over before some people know it’s happening. For where and when to vote, visit https://www.elections.on.ca/. Election day is February 27!

  Episode #2

  Episode 2: A conversation with Perth-Wellington New Blue candidate, James Montgomery, Ontario Election 2025

  Feb 23, 20251h 1mS2

  On this podcast, I chat with James Montgomery, the New Blue candidate for Perth-Wellington in the 2025 Ontario Election. This has been a snap election, and it will all be over by the end of February 27. We chat about Healthcare, Education, harm reduction, transportation, and what he means when he says, “More bang for the buck.” The talk turned to the changes in our relationship with the United States and how they might affect our provincial politics. He also attempts to explain how Diversity, Equity and Inclusion automatically paint white, middle-aged, heterosexual, Christian males as oppressors when critical race theory spills into Canada from the United States. He incorrectly defines racism based on the New Blue Party doctrine and not the established meaning wherein one group of people have an inherent superiority or power over another based on race. This discussion goes nowhere. This is a snap election; it might be over before some people know it’s happening. For where and when to vote, visit https://www.elections.on.ca/. Election day is February 27!
