On this week's episode, Allison and Vass discuss how the 2015 federal election may have marked the end of youth voter apathy with Samara Canada’s Laura Anthony.
Then, we talk to documentary filmmaker Hannah Donegan about her awesome new film Sugar Sisters. The doc explores Hannah’s foray into Toronto's secret gig economy: Sugar dating.
Lastly, we interview author Elisa Albert about her brilliant essay for Hazlitt called “Snarling Girl.” Elisa’s piece tackles the competing impulses of ambition and creativity and why being an artist in NYC is a lot like campaigning for office.
