In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over some salt rimmed Palomas with producer and performer Susan Waycik (Artistic Director of Waycik Productions) to discuss queer representation, the importance of a good vacation, and how in high school she was basically Troy Bolton.

In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over a chilled glass of grapefruit sparkling water (Perrier AND La Croix) with actor and comedian Connie Manfredi (She The People, FX’s Mrs. America, The Next Step) to discuss hustle culture, the relatability of jealously…oh, and whether Perrier, La Croix or Bubly make the best sparkling water! Typically you can see her performing live on the Second City, or on stages across Toronto, but while stuck indoors you can see her in FX’s new dramatic series Mrs. America.
