Xing The Gap, with Rick Miller
An inter-generational podcast hosted by Canadian theatre creator Rick Miller, star of the BOOM Trilogy. In each episode, Miller (a GenX-er) speaks with 2 guests from 2 different generations to uncover gaps in how we see the world. Through conversation, competition, cooperation and (sometimes) karaoke, we build bridges of understanding, find a shared humanity, and save the world from itself. BOOM!
