THE BEST RUNNING AND LIFE DRIVING PODCAST - EVER!

As long time sounds of both Karen Johnson-Diamond and her wonderful son Griffin Cork, I am so thrilled to have this podcast in my life whenever I’m in the car, running, or just need a laugh or a smile from wherever I am in the world! I was fortunate enough to work with Karen when I was only about 16, and she has been an incredible mentor, support, friend and wonderful light in my life! Her son Griffin is also wonderfully talented, and so caring and kind. They do so much for the Canadian theatre scene, especially in Alberta, and I am so thankful to know them both and get to listen to this wonderful podcast!

Love,

So delightful!

Griffin and Karen are so fun to listen to, and they are performing a great service by drawing attention to artists of all kinds in these challenging times. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the local arts scene.
