In the past, my podcasts dedicated to Hot Docs have been very much mapped out, and overall very specific. This year, I thought I’d keep it a bit more informal and by the seat of my pants. The result? Nada, zip, zilch. No audio dispatches from Hot Docs 2015. So for starters, lesson-learned when it comes to podcasts from Hot Docs next year, and apologies for the unexpected lapse in programming. But we’re back, and ready for a busy summer. We get it going with a film I was looking most forward to, and use it to initiate a whole new feature on the show! As if that isn’t enough reason to plug the mic back in, I found myself raising a glass with a very good friend on to the show. Welcome back to wherever you are…   Further Down the Spiral Suggestions: From Corey… music by Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, Tricky, Baby Fox, Hooverphonic, Massive Attack, Morcheeba, Mono, Goldfrapp, UNKLE, Cibo Matto.
