  • Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1266 - Economic Impact of Taylor Swift with Viet Vu
    Nov 26 2024
    Brian interviews Viet Vu. Viet is manager of economic research at the Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University. He'll talk about the economic impact of Taylor Swift. He says: “Toronto and Vancouver occupy a blank space in these visitors’ minds. Their experience attending this concert will determine the appeal of the cities for years to come. If both can successfully host the finale of the Eras Tour, it will project to the world that we are, in fact, open for business. To some, this may seem like champagne problems. But how the world views our cities and country can impact investment opportunities, talent attraction and even instill a sense of pride for those who already live here. Instead of exclaiming, “I hate it here,” we want those who come to be enchanted with our cities.”

  • Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1265 - Experiences as a Digital Nomad with Amanda Larson, & "Johnny Delivers" with Wayne Ng
    Nov 23 2024
    Brian interviews two guests.

    First, Amanda Larson. Amanda is a writer, mother, grandmother, and digital nomad who travels the world while continuing her work. Her journey has taken her to incredible places like Barcelona, Ireland, Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, Egypt, Italy, and Paris. In our discussion, we explore her experiences as a digital nomad, the profound lessons she’s learned about herself, others, the world, and the meaning of life. Amanda is also launching a podcast to share inspiring stories about the extraordinary people she’s encountered along the way.

    Then Wayne Ng joins the show to discuss his new novel, "Johnny Delivers". Set in 1977, the story follows 18-year-old Johnny Wong, the son of Chinese immigrants to Canada, as he calls upon the spirit of Bruce Lee to navigate the enduring challenges of racism. The novel delves into how discrimination shapes our inner lives, institutions, relationships, and livelihoods, while also tackling themes of toxic masculinity, homophobia, and the universal struggle for belonging. With Canada recently marking the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the book's themes feel especially poignant. Combining an emotionally gripping narrative with a distinctly Canadian setting and universal relevance, "Johnny Delivers" is a must-read.
