Basket Traffic: entertainment meets history
Welcome to Basket Traffic!
Hailing from Vancouver, this podcast is brought to you by hosts Craig, Shawn and Susie. Through story telling and conversation, our podcast grinds and plods along a meandering path of history and film. Craig thinks he knows history. Shawn is apparently into cinephilia (cinema lover), and Susie wants nothing to do with any of it. In short, we're seriously unserious and a little irreverent.
Have a listen and press "follow" if you enjoy it. We'd really appreciate it.
