It’s a frosty morning at Hurdman @oc_transpo Station for Ottawa Morning but the London Trio Plus are warming (up) with their stunning vocals. They have a concert at @gladstonetheatre on Dec 11th, get tickets asap as it will sell out after the city hears them on CBC! #cbckind supporting @ottawafoodbank by @manderputz

Since I listened to this for the first time in April, it stuck. Dealing with current events through the lens of #grief. I notice it’s way behind (Jon Stewart’s media machine) in the #Signal podcast awards but not sure how it can be beat in the #ThoughtLeadership category: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mIdAkfh61OJShBproBH89?si=cjhSdiUpSF-F7IYrkVUaOA Or if you prefer: https://youtu.be/aLXA3VOvrmY?si=4dx11KeDp-t53Smj or: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/inside-europe/id80106806?i=1000703886776 taken in Cypress Hills Provincial Park by @manderputz
