This week on the Vancouver Is Awesome Podcast is a rare treat: An extended chat about marriage, sex, ice cream, and a whole lot more.
Hosts Bob Kronbauer and Lindsay William-Ross are joined in studio by V.I.A. reporter Melissa Shaw to talk about a recent poll showing Canadians are lukewarm about the necessity of marriage, and more.
The trio also discuss Perverted Ice Cream's sex-centric motifs and marketing approach. There are the food oddities found at the just-opened Richmond Night Market (hello churros and mini pool floaties) and the inventive marketing for the upcoming Vancouver-filmed Deadpool 2.

Also on the table: Field trips to the Vancouver Landfill and the Southeast False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility (aka the "Poop Fingers" place), and a visit to Galiano Island. We cover the possible plastic straw ban in the City of Vancouver, and the Gastown building that used to be a major public transit hub a century ago.
