Perspectives YYC adds a new point of view

perspectivesyyc-davidyoun.jpg

We are growing again with the addition of Calgary Culture: The Perspectives YYC Podcast!

Hosted by David Youn, this podcast features creative Calgarian conversations. David himself is a photographer and publisher, and his desire to uplift local artists and creative people infuses his questions. The podcast is an extension of his larger Perspectives YYC project.

The podcast gets production support from Kyle Marshall of Media Lab YYC, who has three shows on our network (Assumptions, Creative Block and Putting It Together). You can hear a bit more about their collaboration on Episode 37 of Creative Block, and you can hear even more about David’s journey in Episode 13.

We’re excited to have a Calgary counterpart for our Edmonton-focused arts show, I Don’t Get It. Their approaches are pretty different, but they both pay attention to what’s going on in local arts and culture, and that’s the sort of thing we like to encourage.

Subscribe to Calgary Culture: The Perspectives YYC Podcast in any of the usual places, and follow the show on Instagram and Facebook.

Many thanks to our founding sponsor, ATB Financial, and our other sponsors for making it possible to bring shows like this into the network.
