About Word on the Street - a DTES podcast

Hello, my name is Rory Chung (they/them). I live and work in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, a complex neighbourhood with a colourful and resilient community. I have a sense of curiosity, a smart phone, and a mic. Join me as I interview my neighbours and learn about the people and stories around me.
