This week, “My Life Behind Bars… What Bartending Taught Me About Life.”
“I’ve had a lot of jobs over the years from bartending to hosting a talk show and everything in between. People often ask me if I miss bartending. The truth is no, I don’t miss the hours, the standing and throwing drunks out of bars but I do miss the work culture. Restaurants are an interesting work ecosystem. I learned everything I needed to learn about life and work while slinging drinks…” Read the rest, subscribe and check out past issues HERE!

This week on the Richard Crouse Show we meet Brad Fraser. Brad is one of Canada’s best-known playwrights, his work, plays like Poor Super Man, Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love and Kill Me now have been produced worldwide, in many languages, with highly successful runs in Toronto, New York, Chicago, Milan, Sydney and London… they’ve been adapted into films and named the best plays of their year by Time Magazine.
His plays often include frank depictions of sexuality, drug use and violence… and so does his newest work, a memoir called All the Rage, now available wherever you buy fine books.
Then Chris Wilson stops by to talk about his new podcast… it’s called This Time It’s Different. The premise here is that each episode they do a completely different genre of either a popular existing podcast format OR they will create their own new format.
