    Dr Sue Johnson

    Those two words from EM Forster's novel Howards End could be a nice summation of the philosophy and work of my guest on this podcast! Dr Sue Johnson is an internationally acclaimed clinical psychologist and author and the founder of a counselling approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy. You might be familiar with the title of her best selling book for couples; Hold Me Tight.  It's sold over a million copies around the world. In our conversation Sue talks about how EFT works, how she fell into studying psychology and about what drives her to want to help.

    Rachel Poliquin's research interests are wide and varied and include 17th century medicine, beaver, eels, kidneys, wisdom teeth and taxidermy  (just to mention a very few). These days Rachel is pouring all those fascinations into her children's books.  The latest is titled The Museum of Odd Body Leftovers.   It was great fun to have a chance to talk to her about her work.   http://www.rachelpoliquin.com

    Hot Sauce with Jordan Hocking.

    I didn't grow up with hot sauce on the table but these days it's there for most meals! I love finding new flavours and styles to try out.   Some of my favourites in recent years come from Vancouver's Sriracha Revolver!  Founder and maker Jordan Hocking finds delicious flavours and varied ingredients to blend for her sauces but oddly isn't a real lover of hot sauce herself! In this episode you'll hear how this very successful brand got started!

    Guitarist and composer Adam Dobres

    The gorgeous guitar music that opens and closes my podcast is composed and performed by Adam Dobres. He played guitar in bands for years, all over the world, and then decided to challenge himself to learn to play solo guitar and record instrumentals.  It was quite a learning curve but it's great that her persisted! In this piece you hear the regular theme and also a mellow track he recorded for me.  Can you help name them please?
