Kiki Keskinen Runs the Only Witch School in North America
Kiki Keskinen founded WitchSchool dot ca in 2016, the only witch school in North America, and that timing was not a coincidence, because it was the same year she watched the far right organize itself faster than anyone on the left saw coming, and the women she had circled with for two decades looked at her and said, quite plainly, it's up to you now, so she built a school that is a lot closer to a feminist MBA than anything involving double double toil and trouble, covering ancient history and anthropology, intuition building through tarot, astrology and sacred circle dance, a full Crone mentorship in the final semester, and a real education in who gets to hold power and why.In this episode Candace and Kiki get into why witches are suddenly everywhere, sixty billion views on TikTok and counting, why it was almost always women who got accused of witchcraft historically and what that history actually looked like, how many distinct types of witches and witchcraft exist under that one loaded word, the difference between looking witchy and actually practising, and how decolonization and land based spirituality shape what Kiki teaches on unceded territory. Kiki also explains what a bee witch is, and shares a line Candace has not stopped thinking about since, that we are all actually connected, we are only unpracticed at it.Candace went into this conversation curious and amused. She came out of it wondering if she has been hiding in the broom closet all along

Why Canadians Are Switching from Banks to Credit Unions
If you've ever thought about leaving your bank but talked yourself out of it because it seemed too complicated, this episode is for you. Lisa Colangelo started as a teller at Canada Trust, worked her way up to executive level inside the banking system, and then walked away from all of it to lead a credit union. She knows exactly how banks work and she chose something different.Lisa is the CEO of YNCU, Your Neighbourhood Credit Union, one of Ontario's fastest growing credit unions, and in this conversation she makes the case that credit unions offer everything a bank does and then some. Including something most Canadians do not know: in Ontario, your deposits are protected up to $250,000 through a provincial credit union, compared to $100,000 through the federal CDIC protection that covers the big banks.We talk about what it actually means to be member-owned versus shareholder-driven, why switching is easier than you think, what the big banks are not telling you, and what Lisa tells her closest friends when they ask whether they should make the move.We also talk about money and women, including the trillion dollar wealth transfer that is already underway and why Lisa thinks women need to be in the room for every financial conversation that affects them.This one is worth your time and probably worth a call to your bank afterwards.

Tracy and Martina Goin Out West: The Real Story
Justine Williamson and Greg Vardy are the Cape Breton comedy duo behind Tracy and Martina, two best friends whose sketches, podcast, and books have made them one of the most recognized acts on the East Coast. Their first feature film, Tracy and Martina Goin Out West, is a mockumentary that follows the pair on a real trip to Alberta, where they were booked to open for the band Slowcoaster and nearly did not make it home.On this episode, Justine and Greg talk about building these characters over more than ten years, what actually happened on that Alberta trip versus what was shaped in the edit, and why East Coast humour keeps finding audiences who have never set foot in Cape Breton. We also get into a real academic paper on Cape Bretoners who move west for work and never quite let go of home, and what it says about their own story.Tracy and Martina Goin Out West won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the 2026 Calgary Underground Film Festival and streams on Crave starting September 1.
