Season 1
WAWT: Restauranteur Stephen Beckta
On Episode 4 of Why Are We Talking?, Devon and Chris sit down with acclaimed Ottawa restaurateur and Order of Canada recipient Stephen Beckta. From bussing tables as a teenager to opening restaurants in New York City (and being there on 9/11) to how his namesake restaurant in Ottawa came to be, we get into all of it. That also incudes Stephen's deep connection to Ottawa, his community work and his ambitious project to rethink hospital food.
In this episode of the pod, WAWT chats with Matt Robinson, host of the Tall Can Audio podcast. Matt talks about what got him into the business, navigating life and work with a visual impairment, his passion for the Paralympics...and chirps Chris at least three times. Check out Tall Can Audio wherever you get your podcasts.
On the second episode of the Why Are We Talking podcast, Devon and Chris sit down with teacher, physicist, teacher, family man and founder of Orleans' Bond Brewing, Craig Bond.
In the first episode of the Why Are We Talking pod, Host Devon Babin and Producer Chris Hofley sit down with Ottawa radio personality Jenni. In this wide ranging conversation, Jenni talks about her beginnings growing up in Kanata, her time in Algonquin College's Journalism program, life as a single mom and her journey to becoming one of the city's most recognizable radio voices (and that laugh!).
