There's a magical place, hidden away on Canada's East Coast called Nova Scotia, that has shaped the lives of countless people around the world.
Often called Bluenosers, Nova Scotians are known for their kindness, resiliency, and a telltale gift to gab.
Global Bluenosers is the story of those who have left the shores of their province to explore the world. We introduce you to the province they love by asking them one important question: "If you had only 24 Hours in Nova Scotia, what would you do?"
Living away from the ocean feels claustrophobic I Taylor Judson in Pelham, Ontario
In this episode, Sean sits down with Taylor Judson, a Nova Scotia–born communications professional now living in Ontario, to explore what it means to grow up in a small East Coast community and carry that identity with you.
From her childhood in Lake Echo to navigating a major move at 15, Taylor reflects on the culture shock of leaving Nova Scotia and the subtle ways its influence has stayed with her, from how she speaks to how she connects with others.
Taylor also takes time to reflect on lasting pull of home, especially as the years living away begins to match the years spent in the province. Taylor shares how Nova Scotia still feels like home, not just as a place, but as a feeling — one that shows up in community, pace of life, and the simple things you don’t realize you’ll miss.
Her perfect 24-hour return captures that beautifully: beaches, small-town connections, and the kind of experiences that remind you why Nova Scotia never really leaves you.

Clams, chips, and the tastes of Home. I Kyle Crawford in Toronto, Ontario
In this episode, Sean is joined by Kyle Crawford, a Nova Scotia–born food media professional, content creator, and storyteller now based in Toronto.

Kyle shares his journey from restaurant work to food media and television, building a career rooted in storytelling through food. Through memories of summer rituals, gray days, and the foods that define the East Coast — from Donairs to clams andchips — Kyle explores why some flavours, and some feelings, only make sense at the source.

You don't leave Nova Scotia, it becomes part of you I Angela de Burger in Montpellier, France
