Wow. We have a packed show for you this week, truly serving you a full meal deal. Later in the hour we’re going to meet the man who killed 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden. It’s Part 1 of a two-part conversation. I have LOTS of questions for this former SEAL Team 6 leader. I mean, I can’t even imagine.
And I have a couple of friends doing extraordinary things with their lives; they’re coming on today’s show too. One of them is a 60-year old art entrepreneur who always had a dream of becoming something - and she’s gone and done it. She’s a DJ, and her popularity is on the rise. I’ll intro you to her midway through the show and we’ll hear her inspiring story - and her obvious message to us all: It is never too late.
What a time we live in that a documentary about queer acts of love and resistance is opening the renowned Hot Docs Festival this year. It probably isn’t the first queer doc to do so (?) but when you watch this film, as I did last weekend, you are reminded of how appallingly difficult it once was to be queer in a major city like Toronto (and of course in all of Canada.) You also appreciate deeply that the beautiful trail leading to all that queer people get to enjoy today was a path blazed for us by young men and women who just wanted the right to love. The director and producer of Parade join me as well.
But up first is my other friend doing something extraordinary, with her life. I just love her. She is radiating good vibrations; we start the show with Anishinaabe Traditional Grandmother Kim Wheatley.
Enjoy the listen.
