Welcome to The Know Show. Every week, Andrea T Edwards, Joe Augustin and Tim Wade, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters to all of us. 

This week we’ll be joined by Chris McDonald, hotel general manager, former MMA fighter, and a man who’s paying attention. Our theme this week is: how do we work to create more unity in a divided world? Something we must address, because without it, we have no chance of overcoming the challenges facing all life on earth. 

The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, and covers the climate crisis, Covid 19, topical moments in the world, global politics, business, social issues and passion/humor/history. Join us.

‘Go big, go small, but go’ is a call to action to help people see a path out of the despair and helplessness so many are feeling around the world right now. We can all contribute, in big ways or small, and sometimes it’s just about taking that courageous first step and getting started. 

Delighted to have my friend Chris McDonald join me today, to share something “small” he did recently, that will have a massive impact on the lives he touched. Those lives are our sons, and other children in our community. It’s been such a beautiful experience for all of the families involved, watching our children excel and stretch themselves to the limit, as well as the beginning of their journey towards self-respect and excellence in all they do. I wanted to capture the passion behind what went down, as well as my gratefulness to Chris for doing it. 

I hope it inspires an idea in you to contribute in your own way – big or small - and collectively, we make the world a better place #UncommonCourage

This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy is learning about the craft beer industry in Atlantic Canada. On the show is Chris McDonald from Atlantic Canada Beer Blog in Atlantic Canada; Chris Reynolds from Bar Stillwell in Halifax, Canada; Craig Pinhey, a writer from Rothesay, Canada; and Jeremy White from Big Spruce Brewing in Baddeck, Canada. 

The group kicks off the conversation with an introduction to Atlantic Canada, focusing on the remarkable cask ale, which has been pouring since 1985 and later influenced the East Coast craft beer scene. Jimmy is completely new to Atlantic, so the gang also tosses in travel tips and recommendations for when things start opening back up. To try and get a gist for the history, Jimmy then sparks a lively conversation about old traditions and strange rules within the Atlantic beer scene. 

For the second half, Jeremy joins in to talk about Big Spruce Brewing, and praises Bar Stillwell for trendsetting across Atlantic. Bringing the conversation back to cask ale, the gang describes the subtle texture and unique carbonation that makes cask ale so appealing. And finally, Chris shouts out a new bar opening this week in Newfoundland, getting everyone excited for summer.
