About Us

Exploring the limits of what we know.
The Professor
July 30, 2025 • Dr. Aaron Hoffman
What happens when you combine a sharp political mind, decades of research on terrorism and media, and a willingness to question the narratives we’ve grown comfortable with?
We sit down with Dr. Aaron Hoffman, Professor of Political Science at Simon Fraser University and one of the leading voices on how the media shapes our understanding of international security.

Home sweet home
July 24, 2025 • jacob Soukoreff
This week, Steven Malkowich sits down with Jacob Soukoreff — Red Seal carpenter and principal of Westmont Projects — to talk about why building a home has become such a bureaucratic, expensive, and often soul-crushing journey.
Coming from four generations of German carpenters, Jacob brings not only expertise but a boots-on-the-ground perspective on what’s gone wrong with housing in British Columbia.
We also talk about homeschooling, entrepreneurial family life, and what it means to build something — literally and metaphorically — that lasts.
THe Chapandez
july 26, 2025 • hank leis
Meet Hank Leis — self-declared "King of Nothing," philosopher of failure, and possibly the only man to fully embrace the pointlessness of meaning... and make it work.
In this raw, funny, and occasionally existential conversation, Steven Malkowich speaks with Hank about frittering away life in pursuit of understanding, why all wisdom might be BS, and why becoming "famous for nothing" might be the last honest profession.
What is The Chapandez? You’ll have to find out.
