6 years, sticky notes, and a selkie: How Loghan Paylor won Canada Reads
<p>Loghan Paylor (MFA’20) didn't set out to win CBC's Canada Reads competition. They were just trying to write the book they needed to write. In this episode, the author of The Cure for Drowning—winner of Canada Reads 2026, Giller Prize longlistee, and Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize finalist—opens up about non-linear creative processes, writing queer and trans characters with care, the pros and cons of an MFA, and why the best writing advice has nothing to do with aesthetic morning routines.</p><p><strong>Links & Resources Mentioned in This Episode:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/caroleugenepark.bsky.social">Contact Carol</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/jeevanksangha">Contact Jeevan</a></li><li><a href="https://magazine.alumni.ubc.ca/podcasts/here-forward">From Here Forward</a></li><li><a href="https://www.podiumpodcastco.com/">Podium Podcast Company</a></li><li><a href="https://loghanpaylor.com/">Loghan Paylor</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07cXSFs9USw">Canada Reads</a></li><li><a href="https://www.grad.ubc.ca/prospective-students/graduate-degree-programs/master-of-fine-arts-creative-writing?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Learn more about the UBC MFA in Creative Writing</a></li></ul> <ul><li>(00:00) - Introduction </li> <li>(01:42) - Meet Loghan Paylor </li> <li>(02:26) - Canada Reads whirlwind </li> <li>(03:02) - Publicity, introversion, and support </li> <li>(04:22) - The “gap” that wasn’t: writing life between milestones </li> <li>(05:29) - Favourite passages and hard-won scenes </li> <li>(06:44) - The Post-it drafting method </li> <li>(08:27) - Finding your process (and ignoring aesthetics) </li> <li>(11:18) - Old drafts, saved folders, and ideas that return </li> <li>(13:18) - Characters, POV, and writing identity </li> <li>(14:52) - Writing Ontario: memory, place, and research accuracy </li> <li>(17:11) - Nature and climate grief </li> <li>(18:17) - Bookworm Games and creative balance </li> <li>(20:14) - Reading influences </li> <li>(21:16) - UBC MFA and becoming a professional writer </li> <li>(24:44) - Advice for emerging writers </li> <li>(27:26) - Reader messages and impact </li> <li>(29:14) - Reviews and boundaries </li> <li>(30:16) - Conclusion</li> </ul>

What’s happening with extending SkyTrain to UBC?
<p>In this episode, UBC's Associate Vice-President, Campus and Community Planning, Michael White, joins Carol and Jeevan to break down the SkyTrain to UBC project—the planned Millennium Line extension to UBC. Michael explains why the Broadway Subway Project is insufficient, how the Arbutus station will already be over capacity on day one, and why completing the line to UBC is the only real solution. He outlines the project's sweeping benefits: thousands of new housing units, major greenhouse gas reductions, and billions in economic opportunity. He also shares what it takes to align governments, nations, and communities around a shared vision—and why your voice matters.</p><p><br><strong>Links for this episode</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://skytrain.ubc.ca/">SkyTrain to UBC website</a></li><li><a href="https://skytrain.ubc.ca/about-the-project/">Learn more about the UBCx plan</a></li><li><a href="https://planning.ubc.ca/about-us/who-we-are/leadership-team">About Michael White</a></li><li><a href="https://www.biv.com/news/commentary/mario-canseco-three-in-four-metro-vancouverites-want-skytrain-extended-to-ubc-poll-finds-11862202">Mario Canseco: Three in four Metro Vancouverites want SkyTrain extended to UBC, poll finds</a></li><li><a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/ubc-skytrain-translink-metro-vancouver-priority">Opinion: UBC SkyTrain must be Metro Vancouver's next public transit priority</a></li><li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/caroleugenepark.bsky.social">Contact Carol</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/jeevanksangha">Contact Jeevan</a></li><li><a href="https://magazine.alumni.ubc.ca/podcasts/here-forward">From Here Forward</a></li><li><a href="https://www.podiumpodcastco.com/">Podium Podcast Company</a></li></ul> <ul><li>(00:00) - Introduction </li> <li>(01:39) - Meet Michael White </li> <li>(02:02) - What is UBCx, why is it needed, and it’s potential benefits </li> <li>(06:50) - Current project status & stakeholder groups </li> <li>(11:12) - The economic case for UBCx </li> <li>(12:33) - Addressing concerns </li> <li>(14:28) - The importance of effective up-front engagement </li> <li>(16:39) - Making planning personal </li> <li>(18:14) - What urban planners really do </li> <li>(19:40) - Work-life sustainability </li> <li>(20:44) - A listener call-to-action </li> <li>(22:05) - Conclusion</li> </ul>

Is innovation too masculine? Uncovering the hidden gender gap
<p>What if the innovation economy has always had a gender problem—and we just couldn't see it? Despite a wave of visibility for women entrepreneurs, the numbers are stark: 90% of inventors in Canada are male, and women-led ventures receive less than 5% of available funding. In this episode, UBC Sauder School of Business assistant professor Angèle Beausoleil (PhD'17)—a researcher, serial entrepreneur, and self-described "pracademic"—unpacks why innovation culture skews masculine, what groupthink costs organizations that ignore it, and why the traits society calls "feminine" might actually be the entrepreneurial superpowers we've been undervaluing all along.</p><p><strong>Links for this episode</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://magazine.alumni.ubc.ca/transcript-innovation-too-masculine-uncovering-hidden-gender-gap">Transcript</a></li><li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/caroleugenepark.bsky.social">Contact Carol</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/jeevanksangha">Contact Jeevan</a></li><li><a href="https://magazine.alumni.ubc.ca/podcasts/here-forward">From Here Forward</a></li><li><a href="https://www.podiumpodcastco.com/">Podium Podcast Company</a></li><li><a href="https://www.sauder.ubc.ca/people/angele-beausoleil">Contact Dr. Angele Beausoleil</a></li><li><a href="https://link.springer.com/rwe/10.1007/978-3-031-32257-0_137-1">Learn more about Dr. Beausoleil's research</a></li><li>Jeevan & Carol’s Fave Canadian Businesses | <a href="https://www.blume.com/pages/shop?utm_campaign=button_list_ShopBlume&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=later-linkinbio">Blume Skincare</a> | <a href="https://dexypaws.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqufdmrK6NBgD80qvYUZiC6EkynVZsAoCHBDVeKlkj64Ji437J-">Dexy Paws</a> | <a href="https://shopstrangetails.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21377611103&gclid=CjwKCAjwnZfPBhAGEiwAzg-VzE3WwWySp6vGGuqdXAthA8h9HNs3tDu4rtFxXu-OafU3RvMGB4YZDhoCq5gQAvD_BwE">Stranger Tails</a></li></ul> <ul><li>(00:00) - Introduction </li> <li>(01:56) - Meet Dr. Angele Beausoleil </li> <li>(04:24) - Is innovation “too masculine” & what does that mean? </li> <li>(06:51) - The numbers: inventors, founders, and venture funding </li> <li>(07:49) - The history: the “heroic innovator” and gendered norms </li> <li>(12:56) - The risk of ignoring bias </li> <li>(15:41) - Examples of women-led innovation </li> <li>(19:08) - How to begin to create change in innovation </li> <li>(21:44) - The Innovation Self-Assessment Study </li> <li>(26:48) - What needs to change (education, language, policies) </li> <li>(29:09) - Conclusion</li> </ul>
