This year, Delview alumna Jenaya Robertson (Grad 2015) won the U SPORTS Chantal Navert Memorial Award which is awarded to the most outstanding player in Canada for university women's soccer. As the 5th year captain for the Trinity Western University Spartans, Jenaya broke her school's scoring record with 14 goals while leading her team to a first place division finish with a 12-1-1 record. We talk about her experiences with her team helping out in Africa and South America and looking forward to a future playing pro soccer in Europe and applying her marketing skills to help charitable organizations. As we close out 2019 I feel very thankful to have the opportunity to speak to so many remarkable people. Merry Christmas and see you in 2020!

Mr. Minichiello, a relatively new staff member at Delview talks about growing up Armenian / Italian in Squamish and East Van, History, how he got into Teaching, and Super Smash Bros. He also shares his experiences being someone who is talented enough to teach anything at Delview (or will figure out how). Mr. Sahli and I interrogate our fellow colleague.

Cam Cunningham (Class of 2017) pays us a visit to talk about his sciencey world and how much he's learned since he started working in grade 11. He talks about his criminology program at KPU and how wonderful and stressful university life can be. Then we all travel back in time at 88 mph to talk to our younger selves.

Mark Pocock, PE teacher and Athletic Director, stops in to talk to Mr. Sahli and I about his obsession with movies, composing music and playing guitar for a rock band ("Between Takes" on streaming and iTunes), and what led up to his first teaching gig at Delview. I forget to ask him about being a poster boy in the late 80's for Nintendo but I'll post something on social media (@raideopodcast).

Maya, daughter of our day custodian Cecelio chats with us about her experience traveling by herself as a young girl to Japan, her aspirations to become an elementary school teacher, and balut. Mr. Sahli co-hosts in the first episode ever without an intro (student council is on hiatus due to a restructuring - some exciting news to come after Spring Break)!

Delview alum (Grad 2015) Agape Mngomezulu sheds some light on the movie and television industry in B.C. As a professional stage and screen actor, Agape has appeared on shows such as "Supernatural" and most recently landed a recurring speaking role on "The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco" (IMDB). He also talks about life in Swaziland where he was born and raised until he was 10. Deora and Taman visit for some Student Council business.

Trevor Morten - musician, actor, wise guy. We spend some time talking about saxophones, Nintendo, drama, deafblindness, and sign language. Stick around till the end for some great advice! Raksha starts us off with a very succinct briefing on what's coming up at Delview.

Inspiring young artist Jilliana Baccay (@chromatickid on Instagram / chromatickid on YouTube) shares what drives her to keep practicing and learning as she produces her art. Jill talks about her influences, interests, and her own process for creating stuff. She also gives us a sneak peak of a couple big projects that sound amazing! Taman from the Student Council joins us at the start to talk about events in the weeks ahead.
