Walking Alongside: Perspectives
Welcome to Walking Alongside: Perspectives. Take a walk with me as we explore perspectives that I find interesting, moving, ridiculous, hilarious, infuriating, frustrating or down right bizarre! This iteration of the podcast features a combination of short (read 10-15 minutes'ish or less) solo-pods sharing what I have seen, heard, experienced or am navigating and fun and insightful conversations with cool people. Hopefully it will be relatable, possibly humourous, thought provoking or at the very least, entertaining. Looking forward to sharing these perspectives and hope you enjoy.

Get Out of My Head...
If the next thing you thought was the second half of the lyric in the Billy Ocean song, which would be, "and into my car"...then your brain works like mine does. And I tried really hard to think of ways that I could incorporate that song into t...
Running the Immigration Gauntlet - Pt 1: The Forms
This is going to be the first in a series that chronicles us getting Todd into the country (legally) as we literally run the gauntlet of the Canadian Immigration process. Not sure how many parts there will be in the series, but it will be a fun...
Who Needs A Hug?
Where you do stand on hugs? Are you a hugger? Or can you barely tolerate the non-lingering side-hug? Regardless of where on that spectrum of hugging you may fall, the reality is that we all (for the most part, with arguably few exceptions) need...
A Veritable Pot Pourri of Topics...
I haven't thought of, or seen, pot pourri in a long time, but for whatever reason, that is the word that came to mind when I was contemplating what this episode was going to be about. As the title suggests, it's a mixed bag of things starting w...
Let's Talk Socials - Down With the AI Overlords
It's not often that I get to talk to another podcaster...so this was such a great opportunity to hear from someone who has a completely different take, and yet shares much of the same philosophy. Tora Matys, as you will find out, is literally a...
Fan Mail
Hey! It's Calvin from Long and Mcquade. I know I gave you my card, so forgive me for jumping the gun, but I had to send along some serious kudos on the podcast. I've listened to 3 episodes thus far (halfway through the Bowie episode) and I find myself consistently enthralled and entertained. I'm a fast-fan. I haven't dove too deeply yet, but I've been finding you and your guests have been consistently succeeding in articulating things I've believed, but fallen short of expressing through some deficit of deep thinking or linguistic talent on my part. More importantly the episodes have taken me much deeper into these subjects than I've gone alone, and I find myself chewing on the ideas hours later. Your approach to self-development and fitness mirror the work I've only just started over the last couple of years and your passion (and taste) in art is fabulous. Loved hearing Stephen Sondheim and Franz Liszt recognized as geniuses in the Bowie ep. It is hard for me to imagine any musicians more deserving of the title. Finally a huge kudos is deserved for how bright Daphne obviously is. Halfway through the Bowie episode and I'm floored by their erudition and acumen. I have certainly been obsessed with David Bowie longer than they've been alive and yet it's clear they've listened just as deeply and come away with a understanding of him that is just as deep, and totally unique. Keep up the good work! P.s. As a fellow reaper user and sound snob you also deserve kudos for having produced a podcast that sounds excellent.
