This week, we sit down with the Vancouver podcasting superstar you've never heard of, Joseph Planta.
Planta has been producing and hosting a podcast out of his own home and in his spare time for longer than podcasts have been a thing, featuring many high-wattage celebs from the world of politics, publishing, broadcasting, and entertainment.

Plus, Bob and Lindsay talk about a new documentary about graphic design in Canada, comedian Jim Gaffigan's feelings about Vancouver weather, a cool new coin from the Canadian Mint and a local indigenous artist, and restaurant awards season (it's a thing).
