(EXP)LORE YOUR WORLD. Experience lore.

Each episode immerses the audience in a rich audio play while they explore the world through a new lens.
Episode 2: A Dangerous View
by Krista Marushy
On a windswept hill hovering over a city, a man stands as the sign of his times, bracing for the storm of the century. As a lone sentry standing vigil, the ground beneath his feet is shaken by a perceptive stranger who holds the key to immortality. A playful and seductive homage to Film Noir, A Dangerous View bridges space and time to name unknown places which can never truly be tamed.
Episode Location:
Tom Campbell's Hill Park, Bridgeland, Calgary NE
You should be listening to this episode at Tom Campbell’s Hill, a park in the Bridgeland neighbourhood of Calgary’s northeast. The entrance we recommend using is at the corner of Thomson Ave NE and Hill Road Ne. Walk down the “grande allée” lined by a double row of Northwest Poplars and then you’re there.
HINT: See how close to the edge you can get...and take in the view.
