Chasing the northern lights with award-winning producer Lia Granger and Alberta night sky watchers 

Today we ask a question unthinkable for many Canadians: were the Group of Seven painters really that great? Now before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, we’re not defaming these most iconic of Canadian landscape artists. But here’s what we have in mind. We’re revisiting the meteoric global rise of these remarkable early 20th century painters through a modern-day lens — not discounting the greatness of their original work, but asking Canadians to challenge the story we’ve all told ourselves with a bit more nuance and complexity. So we thought, who better to explore this modern perspective than an objective outsider who didn’t grow up with these paintings in every classroom, on coasters in your parents’ living room or in gift shops from Vancouver to Halifax? Someone who might pose the questions that we Canadians might not even think to ask. Award-winning American NPR producer Scott Gurian finds the story on an Ontario road trip that both art lovers and outdoorsy types would relish retracing.

Think Canada’s western adventure culture is pretty macho? Well, yes, but that’s just part of the story. Here & There host and producer Liz Beatty tests her own mettle on backcountry peaks with Canadian Mountain Holidays. And along the way, she introduces us to some amazing women who’ve helped make mountaineering what it is today. Waiting at Canadian Mountain Holidays’ helipad, Liz has second thoughts about being whisked off to a backcountry lodge for a few days of heli-hiking. We're talking remote, fly-in, mountain backcountry west of Banff and Lake Louise, with towering peaks and glaciers everywhere. But what’s really got her fretting is these via ferratas, involving zip lines, tight roping across cavernous river gorges, scaling rock faces at 8,000 feet. She asks herself: “Is this really something I should be doing at, let's say, not 25 and with a fear of heights?” It all seemed like a better idea months before from her living room in very flat southern Ontario. Come along as Liz pushes way beyond her comfort zone, and learns firsthand what makes these mountain women tick.
