When Gnome City is on, we adventure to a state of collective imagination; sometimes through musical journeys and other times through the genius minds of the Lower Mainland's whimsical and passionate artists and thinkers. There is no such thing as genre here. Through laughter, dance, and pensive discussions, our city on the radio waves will continuously upgrade to house all the esoteric critters that arise from you as you listen.

Beats & Eats is a community-focused show that explores food, food security, and the arts in the Lower Mainland and Tri-Cities. Each episode blends together music, conversations about access to food, and coverage of local food and arts events.

The show features interviews with artists, organizers, and community members. To stay on theme, each guest is asked at least one food-related question about comfort food, food memories, or how food shows up in their creative or community work. Beats & Eats show how food and art can naturally intersect in everyday life.

Call Me Negotiator is a talk-based program focused on cross-cultural communication, grounded in Vancouver’s diverse social landscape. The show frames “Eastern” and “Western” cultures as broad communication contexts while exploring specific cultural experiences from regions such as China, South Asia, the Middle East, and North America.

Through accessible and conversational discussions — drawing on everyday examples from work, media, health, lifestyle, and social interaction — the program examines how cultural values and communication styles shape misunderstanding, collaboration, and connection. The show also integrates negotiation and communication principles in an informal, practical way, helping listeners reflect on how they navigate daily conversations, professional settings, and cross-cultural relationships.

Healing Together is a series of intimate and thoughtful conversations hosted by SFU alumnus Salomé Mengo-Morales; Ira Rishi, an SFU undergraduate student; Khoa Vo; and Paola Quiros-Cruz, one of the Educators at the Sexual Violence Support & Prevention Office (SVSPO). This special edition podcast is presented in the context of SFU’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2026.

The podcast features guests from diverse personal and professional backgrounds who remind us that healing and justice can take many forms—and that we all play a role in shaping spaces that support survivors. Inspired by the questions posed by Afro-American author Prentis Hemphill in their book What It Takes to Heal— “What would it do to movements, to our society and culture, to have the principles of healing at the very center? And what does it do to have healing at the center of every structure and everything we create?”—these interviews explore how healing, while deeply personal, is also profoundly communal.
