Ep 002: Matthew Griffin

This week on the podcast Burgundy Drive front person and real life radio DJ Ian McGill spills the beans about HOW ON EARTH he developed so much confidence. And guess what...it's not what you'd hope. Cuz failing sucks, but it's an inevitable and important stepping stone to success. 

InterAction alumni Ben Gaunce is on the podcast this week!  Ben and Hilary chat about how he become a Speech Language Pathologist, how his acting experience helped him borrow piano rehearsal space at McGill's music school, and all the different ways that he has learned to infuse his life with creativity. 

This week on This Is Where We Play, Hilary is chatting with Saint John musician and long time InterAction drums teacher, Clinton Charlton! We talk about creating with kids at home. We talk about the various embodiments of our music careers. We talk about our fave teaching moments (ie: Candy Wave vs Panthor). AND we talk about redefining success for ourselves. It's a jam packed 45 minutes!  Hope you enjoy:)

This week on the podcast is InterAction alumni, Kylie Fox. Hilary and Kylie do a deep dive on being women in the music industry, and Kylie shares about her journey from growing up as a theatre kid to being the full-time musician she is today. 

This week on the podcast, Hilary chats with Deydra, aka Kylie, aka the bomb dot com about their experience growing up with InterAction. 

Kate and Hilary chat about the origin story of InterAction waaaaaay back in 1982 and about Kate's natural story-telling life lens. 

APCO student and long time InterAction kid, Charlotte Colpitts chats with Hilary about integrating the confidence and self-awareness she's developed through the performing arts into her REAL LIFE. Amazing right?

APCO student Matthew Griffin chats with Hilary Ladd about his first show at InterAction back in the third grade. And now he's playing John Darling in our upcoming production of Peter Pan!

Ben and I chat about the phone call his mom got from Kate when he was 8 years old to play the role of Jacob in Jacob Two Two. And now he's addressing hundreds of people over zoom in his role with the United Way as well as getting his Masters in Philanthropy. Not too shabby, Ben:)
