Cameras, Commerce & Cuisine
What happens when creativity, community, and local business collide?
In this episode, hosts Sean Liv and Kim Hayden explore three sides of Calgary’s creative heartbeat.
Evelyn Drake and Dave Paul from The Camera Store share how their 30-year shop became a home for photographers and why film is making a comeback.
Then Alana Baxter, founder of Fitzba Technologies, reveals how her app helps Calgarians shop local and keep more than $1 billion circulating in our city.
Finally, Culinaire Magazine’s Linda Garson heads “Culinaire on location” to Aloha Modern Kitchen, pairing island-inspired dishes with perfect wines and warm conversation.
Listen in to rediscover what makes Calgary extraordinary, its creators, innovators, and food lovers.
