    Two Idiots 148: Night Owl feat. Brent Manke

    This week, avid runner, writer, and poet, Brent Manke joins the show and handles his honourary Idiot role with ease! I'll let you decide if that's a compliment or insult, but either way, Brent joins the show to tell us about his upcoming fundraising event called The Longest Night Run, and how it started in support of a friend battling cancer and has continued as a way for others to band together to battle their own darkness while running a relay around Steinbach on Dec 21st -- the longest night of the year -- all in support of Eden Health. We go on to chat about his writing projects, connecting with nature, mental health, changing perspectives and Paying Attention™, haikus (including haibuns, @runhaiku, and everything in between), favourite poets (hint: it's not Shel Silverstein), podcasts, The Green Book and other books, and so much more!

    Two Idiots 144: Canadians at War feat. Brad St Croix

    What better way to commemorate Remembrance Day than to spend an episode discussing Canadian heroes, Canadian veterans, and the good, the bad, and the ugly of Canadian-focused military history? Joining us this week is historian and creator of 'On This Day in Canadian Military History' (go follow him), Brad St Croix! He spends his time making sure we don't forget the heroic people that fought and died for our country and we have a heartfelt chat about what Remembrance Day means to him, Juno Beach stories (his great uncle landed there on D-Day), little known (but fascinating) Canadian involvement in the Vietnam War, the American Civil War, a deep dive on the Second World War's Battle of Hong Kong, acknowledging Canadian military excellence, a few Canadian military factoids, how our perception as "peace keepers" is a myth, Canada's Caribbean province, embracing nuance, and so much more! *** We're played out this week by Bo Armstrong’s newest track 'Get It Right'.
