We released Episode 3 of the Vancouver Is Awesome podcast today!

Each week Lindsay William-Ross and Bob Kronbauer bring you insights and analysis on things happening in your city that we think you should know about. In the middle of each episode we talk with people doing awesome things here and hope to provide you with inspiration and smiles, connecting you to Vancouver.

This week's guest is Michael Schwartz of The Jewish Museum and Archives of BC. He shares some insights on Hannukah and answers a lot of semi-ignorant questions from Bob about the Jewish community in Vancouver and their holidays, and some not-so-ignorant questions from Lindsay who is actually Jew-ish.
