Pocket Girl Podcast: Burning the Barn

by 2 Comments

I think women, and anyone who has ever presented as female for that matter, know all too well how it feels to be told which pockets you will, and will not, inhabit. And frankly, I’m simply tired of keeping myself in one.

Anthony Bourdain: Vancouver 2006

by Leave a Comment

Having been a heroin addict is really good training for a career in the entertainment business. Anytime you think this is undignified or humiliating, I think back to borrowing money from my mom under false pretenses or stealing purses on the subway. Undignified? Compared to what?

Ouimet Presents
Podcast Ep. 2

In 2006 I hosted and produced a series of podcasts for Raincoast Books in Vancouver. Raincoast was the first Canadian publisher to create a podcast, and during that year we released a series of podcasts featuring writers with new books coming out.

In 2006, Anthony Bourdain was already a big star. His TV series and books had made him famous around the world. I got to spend the day with him when he was in Vancouver to promote his books The Nasty Bits.

James Gonzales: Street Photographer

When I was growing up a lot of the photographs that are in an old cedar chest that I still have are all in black and white….going up until the mid 60s or so and going back as far as the early 40s or mid 40s. The photographs of my father and my parents and my grandparents, they’re all in black and white. So to me I guess it’s just carrying that that old, old tradition forward.

Podcast: Ep. 1

James Gonzales is a San Antonio photographer who’s work I’ve admired on Instagram. His black and white images capture the highs and lows of central San Antonio – from smiling faces to deep despair.

After following his feed for more than a year, I decided I had to find out more about James, and his photos. Hear my conversation in this podcast on Ouimet Presents.
