In this riffcast, Gordon and Julia reflect on some key ideas they found stimulating from talking with their guest Caroline Casey (Episode 16).

It’s our way of taking our work, which has been local to western Canada, to informing listeners around the world and creating a more far-reaching influence through our guests and ourselves.
