    Ethan Askey touring Vancouver Island & the Parksville Car and Bike Show

    "Send us a text about this episode!"Why You Should Listen to This Episode: Ethan Askey has carried a harmonica in his pocket for the better part of 30 years - from campfires on the Alsek River to festival stages in Europe, from Junior Wells' living room in Chicago to the studio in Kimberley where his new album Outside the Lines was born. He is a storyteller who found the blues by digging backwards through his dad's record collection, and every story he tells feels like a song. Ron Thorogood built a life around cars and the community they carry - from drag strips in Calgary to leading the charge to bring one of Vancouver Island's most beloved summer events back to the beach at Parksville Community Park on July 5th.This Episode Features:(28:32) Ethan Askey is a singer, songwriter, and blues harmonica player based in Cranbrook, BC. Known in music circles as Shorty, he spent decades as a sideman and session player before stepping out front with his 2022 debut album Walk When You Wanna Run, which spent over 160 weeks on the Canada Roots and Blues Top 50. He leads Ethan Askey and the Elevators, whose new album Outside the Lines is now out and features contributions from Steve Marriner, Susie Vinnick, and Jimmy Bowskill. Ethan talks about walking a fish through the South Side of Chicago to Junior Wells' door, headlining the Baltic Blues Festival in Germany, and what 30 years of always having a harmonica in your pocket really means. Contains the song "Swing Like That." ethanaskey.com(07:58) Ron Thorogood is one of the key organizers behind the Parksville Car and Bike Show - the revived, rebranded Van Isle Show and Shine returning to Parksville Community Park on July 5th. Ron moved to Vancouver Island from Calgary nine years ago, bringing a lifetime of drag racing history with him, including a 1970 Plymouth Duster 340 that won back-to-back pro titles in 2000 and 2001 and that he owned for 50 years. He talks about reviving a show that once drew a thousand cars to the beach, why there are no judges and no trophies, and why - for him - it has never really been about the cars. parksvillecarshow.caEpisode Quotes:"It has nothing to do with a car. Really what's behind the car is the people. The whole community of people is what drives me." - Ron Thorogood"Everywhere I go, I've got a harmonica in my pocket.

  • Santiago Dominguez - Autism: A Personality, Not a Disability

    Santiago Dominguez - Autism: A Personality, Not a Disability
    2026/06/09

    "Send us a text about this episode!"

    Why You Should Listen to This Episode

    If you or someone you love has ever felt like an outsider in a world that wasn’t built for the way your mind works, Santiago Dominguez speaks directly to that experience. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Santiago opens up about the exhausting daily effort of navigating school, building relationships, and searching for a sense of value in a world that often misunderstood him. His story is one of hard-won resilience - and a powerful reminder that difference is not deficit.

    In this episode:

    Santiago Dominguez joins Cindy Thompson on A Resilience Project to share what it truly meant to grow up with high-functioning autism in a world that rarely made space for the way he experienced it.

    For Santiago, every school day felt like a war - a constant negotiation between who he was and what the world expected him to be. Complex peer relationships and a deep desire to be understood shaped his early years. But through it all, he found his way to something more grounding: a rediscovery of his own value, on his own terms.

    Now 24, Santiago is a real estate photographer, a history student at Vancouver Island University, a high school tutor, and a youth coordinator at Maranatha Church in Nanaimo, BC. Through his work with teenagers facing similar struggles, he channels his own experience into something purposeful - helping young people see what he had to learn for himself: that autism is a personality, not a disability.

  • Matt Sager of “Lost Car Rescue” on “Classics for Kids” & Crime Novelist Sam Wiebe

    Matt Sager of “Lost Car Rescue” on “Classics for Kids” & Crime Novelist Sam Wiebe
    2026/06/02
    "Send us a text about this episode!"Why You Should Listen to This Episode: Matt Sager brings a 1940 Ford five-window coupe and a classroom full of students to turn a rescue car into a raffle that could raise a million dollars for the kids at Cowichan District Hospital. Sam Wiebe has spent a decade building one of the most compelling crime fiction series in Canadian literature, and his sixth Wakeland novel takes the detective out of his Vancouver comfort zone and into the Fraser Valley - where ghost guns, a teenager in danger, and a corporate consulting gig he hates are all waiting. This Episode Features: (26:00) Matt Sager of Mill Bay became known across Canada as the star of the History Channel's Lost Car Rescue, hunting down forgotten classics from barns, ravines, and forests alongside his brother Steve. Now he's channeling that passion into Classics for Kids - a program he built at Queen Margaret's School in Duncan where students are restoring a 1940 Ford five-window coupe from a Langford garage to show-ready condition. The car, owned by the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation, will be unveiled at a car show on July 5th at the school and then tour western Canada as a rolling raffle with a million-dollar fundraising target for the pediatric ward. https://bit.ly/ClassicsForKidsQMS (07:47) Sam Wiebe is an award-winning, best-selling author of Pacific Northwest crime fiction based in New Westminster, BC. His Dave Wakeland series has earned him the Crime Writers of Canada Award and the Kobo Emerging Writers Prize. In his sixth Wakeland novel, Guns Across the River, private eye Dave Wakeland pulls a teenager named Nicola from False Creek - and finds himself chasing a shipping container of untraceable ghost guns from Vancouver's back alleys all the way to the Fraser Valley. Sam also previews his forthcoming nonfiction book Shot in Vancouver, a deep dive into the movies and TV series filmed in BC. https://samwiebe.com/ Episode Quotes:"Pairing someone who's been through the wringer and is very much a lone wolf with a teenager who's in danger, but is also capable of violence and going down the wrong path herself - I thought would just be an interesting challenge to Dave." - Sam Wiebe "The ultimate goal is to have the kids have this amazing well-rounded experience about using their hands to create something that is greater than themselves - for the greater good of other children." - Matt SagerLISTEN: We have had the chance to talk to many authors from across Vancouver Island and beyond — explore more stories and interviews on our Vancouver Island Authors page.Voice message The PULSE and be part of the podcast!You'll find all episodes of The PULSE Podcast on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, TikTok, YouTube, and ThePulseCommunity.caClick here to learn how to Support the showEpisode Sponsors: Ian Lindsay & Associates, Fireside Books & Thrifty Foods ParksvilleCheck out Skookum Kid's Stories on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, and YouTube, as well as SkookumKids.comSign up for our weekly newsletter of new podcast releases and contests!“Like, Share & Listen!”#SamWiebe #CrimeFiction #WakelandSeries #VancouverIsland #ClassicsForKids #MattSager #CowichanValley #ThePULSEPodcast #VancouverIslandPodcast #ParksvilleNews #VancouverIslandNewsSupport the show
