| 5/24/21 | ITW S2 E15 Three's Company with Franz, Remi and AJ | Send us Fan Mail Some keen observers might have noticed a missing component in our podcast over the past few months. And no, before you say it, not our social media presence... that's always been bad!! I'm referring of course to the Athos to our Three Musketeers, the Dusty Bottoms to our Three Amigos, the Larry to our Threes Stooges, Mr. Andrew Johnson. In January, after years of pondering, AJ found the courage to strike out on his own and opened Bicycle Pizza, a cross between New Yor... | 1h 23m 40s | ||||||
| 5/17/21 | ITW S2 E14 Dallas Harwood from Vic Food Guys | Send us Fan Mail Dallas Harwood is half of the team behind The Vic Food Guys, a podcast and social media team dedicated to supporting the YYJ food scene.

The Vic Food Guys have been selflessly shinning a light on restaurants through their podcast, Instagram, CFAX and even CTV. We w... | 2h 07m 09s | ||||||

| 4/12/21 | ITW S2 E11 Mitchell Scott with The Very Good Butchers | Send us Fan Mail We've all experienced a terrible veggie burger haven't we? You know the earmark; dry, under seasoned and completely lacking in any semblance of love. Michell Scott and business partner James Davidson were tired of the type of veggie alternatives you reheat in a toaster. So they decided to do something about that. Michell is the business-brain behind product development at The Very Good Food Co. From humble beginnings, testing their products at local Victor... | 59m 44s | ||||||
| 4/4/21 | ITW S2 E10 Dan Bain - Keeps em' high n' tight | Send us Fan Mail A little under 13 months ago, we embarked on this podcast journey.

From staffing and supply shortages to exciting G-Panda... | 1h 25m 26s | ||||||

These guys have been work like hell for the past 5 years to make their dreams come true. Starting off renting kitchen space to use after hours, work until the sun came up and doing all this all by themselves.

| 1/31/21 | S2 E1 Big Wheel McNeil | Send us Fan Mail After a one month hiatus which (maybe) left our listeners foaming at the mouth, we are back for season 2. We've got some great guests lined up with some surprises along the way. Our first guest of the year is none other than Calen "Big Wheel" McNeil.

| 11/24/20 | ITW S1E29 Remi is a conference dream weaver | Send us Fan Mail In another life, I used to be a wedding planner.
