In this episode, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by Amy Stuart, author of four bestselling novels, including 2024’s Home and Away—a memoir she co-wrote with former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin. They talk about the very out-of-character way she landed the job of co-writing the Mats Sundin book, about the new-found attention it has brought her when she coaches hockey, and about the impact it has had on the way she thinks about her career as a thriller writer.


Recorded live, the final episode features Timothy Taylor in conversation about family history, storytelling, and the making of the series. He is joined by Holocaust survivor Mariette Doduck, filmmaker Ecuadorian-Jewish filmmaker David Bercovici-Artieda, and his sister Shelagh Genuis. Together, they explore the personal and historical significance of their stories and what they reveal about memory and legacy. Later, Timothy and showrunner Anthony Cantor offer behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process before opening the floor to audience questions.

Canada has long been a force in the arts, culture, and media space, but what makes Canadian storytelling stand out?
