Vancouver friends and family!!!
I’m hitting the stage with some immensely talented folks for a 2-week run of ‘The Credeaux Canvas’, and I’d love you all to come along and support us Wed May 8 - 19 at The NEST on Granville Island!

Tickets are 2-for-1 on our opening night of May 8th, and we’d love a packed house to kick things off and make us the talk of the town!

Then it’s 2-for-1 again on Mother’s Day, Sun May 12th. Why not make a family day of it at Granville Island?

Follow the link below to buy tickets, every little helps! And if you’re feeling especially nice please share our poster far and wide to help get even more folks to come!

After many attempts, Ry has finally tempted his expat bud Greg onto the pod! After working as a chef in a Michelin star restaurant in Bath, UK, Greg explains why moving abroad gave a him a much needed reset on his work-life balance. He also chats about his online virtual cook-along show he hosted during lockdown, and tells the thrilling tale of how he and his fiancé Jess (friend of the pod) got their adorable new pup Skye after in intriguing trip across the border in Alberta!

After a long period of 'post-production', we can finally treat our lovely listeners to our special guest Yann! Having grown up in Mexico City, but spending much of his youth at French immersion school, writer/director Yann has a mixture of cultures that have shaped him as an artist. He tells us why he chose Vancouver to pursue his passion as a filmmaker, and why Canada might not be the final stop on his creative life path.

The Great Escape Pod kicks off 2022 with long time listener and first time guest Sam! Hailing from Poole, just outside of Bournemouth, UK, Sam came to Canada with his girlfriend without much of a plan outside their 2-week Airbnb booking. That being said, he was still keen to progress his film career in Vancouver (a.k.a North Hollywood), and now finds himself working as a VFX co-ordinator on top-tier shows like 'The Mandalorian.'

After a long and arduous courting process (and Ryan's initial rejection), The Great Escape Pod finally welcomes our good friend Tony! He tells Mark, Owen & Ry about a particularly spicy border patrol interrogation when he became a permanent resident, and how he's managed to shoot up the construction ranks since swapping Norwich for Vancouver over 4 years ago.

Ry's friend Katie joins the boys in the latest episode of The Great Escape Pod. Having an Australian passport thanks to her Australian mother, Katie's move down under from the UK was smoother than it is for most expats. As a professional historian, Katie and the lads dig deep into colonialism, what it means to be an expat living and travelling abroad, as well as her recent trip to visit ancient aboriginal lands in the outback.
