Interesting Vancouver Presents, is a series of conversations with ordinary Vancouverites leading extraordinary lives. This podcast is hosted and produced by David Swanson, with support from Brett MacFarlane and Mark Busse, in association with SFU Woodward’s, Graphic Designers of Canada, and CreativeMornings/Vancouver. Interesting Vancouver is a celebration of the curious and unexpected. Through talks, workshops, and programs, Interesting Vancouver explores the community and activities that can only happen in Vancouver and by Vancouverites. Once a year we gather together to showcase the region’s most interesting people and the myriad ways they express their creativity through hobbies, passions, and obsessions. There is always a degree of spontaneity, unexpected moments, and discovery which makes it exciting and inspiring. What makes you interesting?
