Episode 22 is LIVE! 🎙️

What does it take to keep downtown Vancouver thriving? And what happens when you refuse to give up on the city you love?

Jane Talbot, CEO of the Downtown Van BIA, has spent years advocating for the heart of Vancouver. Mike McDonald, meanwhile, has been bringing culture, community, and a new vision to Library Square Public House. Both share a deep passion for downtown and the people who bring it to life.

On Episode 22 of the Poonicast, Gary Pooni and co-host Jamie Gladman sit down with Jane and Mike for a candid conversation about their journeys, from growing up in Whalley and small-town Pennsylvania to the challenges and opportunities shaping downtown Vancouver today.
It's a conversation about what makes a city special, the people who give it character, and what it takes to keep its heart beating.

What does it look like to build a successful acting career while staying deeply connected to the community you call home?

For Episode 21 of the Poonicast, Gary is joined by two Vancouver-area superstars: Kandyse McClure (Battlestar Galactica, Virgin River) and Celeste Ziegler (Shoresy, Upload).
Two accomplished actors. Two different career paths. And both are making their mark well beyond the screen.

Kandyse is bringing her passion for film to her own backyard through the New West Film Festival and other local initiatives, while Celeste is balancing acting with a thriving real estate practice in Greater Vancouver.

They talk about everything from navigating the film and television biz, why there’s still nothing quite like an in-person audition, and why giving back matters.
It’s a candid, fun conversation with two incredibly talented women.

Episode 20 is live! We hope you've been enjoying the Poonicast so far — if you missed any past episodes, be sure to catch up on our website, https://www.poonigroup.com/poonicast New West's finest are here, and they brought a debate champion.

In this episode, Gary Pooni sits down with Lisa Spitale, outgoing CAO of the City of New Westminster after 33 remarkable years, and Gerardo Corro, Executive Director of Tourism New Westminster, plus special guest Luella, Grade 8 provincial debate champion.

Lisa reflects on transforming a depressed downtown into a thriving waterfront. Gerardo shares what it means to bring New West's tourism ambitions to a seat at the big kids' table. Together they dig into the immigrant roots that shaped them, the hidden gems most people have never heard of, and why New West has a way of becoming home.
