EPISODE 28: The Tall Arab Girl, Beyoncé Break Ups & Average White Men with Nussaiba Hadi!

This interview is LONG awaited, heavily anticipated, majorly appreciated and already raved (kidding).  Welcome semi-back, NUSSAIBA HADI [https://www.instagram.com/_nussaiba/]! If you recall Tori's "Group Therapy" [https://open.spotify.com/episode/2XWBSLxmDp3TAJUFQY4hwE?si=db87bbd3c02b467b] episode, Nussaiba joined for a quick chat about her Palestinian roots, her love of "average white men" & her incredible fiancé. In this episode they expound on all of this plus much much more, including Nussaiba's time as the only Arab girl in Memphis & their simultaneous break ups (Tori's WORST break up, actually). To inquire about being a guest on the podcast or her travelling photography business, send Tori a DM on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/toriroovers_/?hl=en] or email her at troovers@blackburnmedia.ca.

EPISODE 27: A Good Ol’ Fashion Bitch Fest with Curtis Coleman!

He's an OG, he's a fan favorite, and he's back!  Welcome back to the pod CURTIS COLEMAN [https://www.instagram.com/curtiscoleman_/]. Remember Tori's comedian friend who gave us the idea for a group Bumble account? The one who said he's above dating in Windsor? Ya, that one, from Episode 3 [https://toriandherpodcast.podbean.com/e/episode-2-female-energy-group-bumble-accounts-the-art-of-graphic-tees-with-curtis-coleman/]. He's back, but not to catch up or with any real updates. He was invited to this episode to COMPLAIN. Inspired by a phone call after a long day of being peppy, Tori wanted Curtis back so you could hear the kind of candid conversations they seem to have. One without judgement & a whole lot of bitching. This week's featured artist: HUTTCH [https://www.instagram.com/huttchband/]!

EPISODE 26: Backstage with Olaf, The Carole Baskin Drinking Game & A Message For Drag Bans with Kevin Blondin!

We’re back with another interview with someone near & dear to not only Tori, but Windsor-Essex as a whole. Say hi to KEVIN BLONDIN [https://www.instagram.com/kevinblondinsta/]!    Kevin and Tori met in college and became fast work-partners and friends. They were lucky enough to work together after school, even though the environment was less than ideal (they explain). Kevin has done all kinds of media-related work but has most recently dedicated his time to drag photography! But we can't NOT talk about his time working at Disney...we just can't.    Check out his page Sound and City [https://www.instagram.com/soundandcity/] to see his work, and if you’re in Windsor be sure to check out Lavender Promotions [https://lavenderpromotions.com/] for all information on our incredible drag community!   This week’s featured artist: Zainoun [https://www.zainoun.ca/]!   Song 1: Heart2Heart Song 2: Fix Things
