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.
