Guest host Jamie O’Meara first spoke with FringeMTL founders Kris and Nick Morra in 1993. It was his second cover story at HOUR Magazine and still very early in the history of the festival. In this episode, they reunite for a special interview to reminisce about those early days and as a special surprise, they are later joined by current Executive and Artistic Director Amy Blackmore. Then host Sarah Deshaies chatted with Tristan D. Lalla who took us behind the scenes of a day-in-the-life of a Frankie Award juror. Featuring a story by Warona Setshwaelo.
