Here's Episode 11 of the Vancouver Is Awesome podcast!
This week's guest is the local playwright, voiceover artist, author and now Juno-nominated comedian, Charlie Demers. We talk with him about his latest album, his books, the recent rise of fascism and what made him decide to delete his Facebook and Twitter accounts. We have a lot of fun in our conversation but it takes some surprisingly serious turns.
