On this week’s Richard Crouse Show I’ll tell you about a new movie playing in theatres right now. “Run Woman Run” is the story of Beck, an Indigenous single mom at a crossroad. Ambitionless, when she isn’t binge eating, she’s hopping in the car to go check the mail… from the mailbox at the end of her driveway. Following a health scare, she decides to change her life through marathon running.
“Run Woman Run” is a lighthearted film with serious messages of recovery from residential school trauma, self-discovery and the erasure of Indigenous languages. It doesn’t shy away from the big topics, but at its heart it is an underdog story about overcoming obstacles and belief in one’s self.
I spoke with the film’s director Zoe Hopkins and breakout star Dakota Ray Hebert in separate interviews, which I have stitched them together to tell the story of the making of this wonderful film.
Then, Chris Hadfield, astronaut, engineer, singer, and fighter pilot and now author of a thriller called “The Apollo Murders” stops by to talk about his book and much more.

The Richard Crouse Show for August 2, 2020: We meet Dawn Tyler Watson. via Zoom from her home in Montreal. To call Dawn Tyler Watson a blues singer isn’t quite accurate. Sure, On the’s called the Queen of the Blues in Montreal and latest record “Mad Love,” just won the 2020 JUNO award for Blues Album of the Year, but her music also infuses elements of Jazz, Soul, Rock, and Gospel to pushes the boundaries of traditional Blues.
We caught up, talking about what she learned while busking in the subway, taking home the coveted first-place prize at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2017, why she used to have imposter’s syndrome, but doesn’t anymore and how her perspective on everything changed after triple bypass surgery.
I started the interview by asking how she and her dog Molly are doing these days.
Then, Chris Hadfield stops by to discuss when science and pop culture collide.

The May 16, 2020 episode of “Pop Life,” features an encore presentation of our in-depth interview with Chris Hadfield. He stops by the “Pop Life” bar to discuss when science and pop culture collide. Then the “Pop Life Panel,” CTV science And technology specialist Dan Riskin, engineering program manager at Google Komal Singh and science commentator & author Of ‘An Earthling’s Guide To Outer Space’ Bob Macdonald, discuss how science became cool again.
When asked about how being in space made him feel connected to earth he said: “The sunrises and sunsets, they were more like watching a painting be created in front of you. What really tied you to home was seeing all seven and a half billion people every day. Because, the world turns underneath you. So, you see, everybody you look down and go, ‘Oh look there’s Karachi. Nine 9 million people. Holy cow,’ and 10 minutes later you’re coming over Singapore and you wait 40 minutes and now you’re over San Francisco. The whole world and everybody in it, all of our what we think are so wildly different cultures… you know we pretend we’re so radically different from each other. When you see the whole thing in 90 minutes you realize this is one little shared planet. If you go around it in 90 minutes, it can’t be very big. You can run for 90 minutes, you know. So the world is not very large and I think that’s what really tied me back, the sunrises and sunsets.”
