Missed a previous episode from Season 2 of Podcaster Stories? Want to get caught up? Not a problem - listen to the complete second season right here!We listen to our favourite podcasts, but don’t always get to know the stories of the people behind these voices. Podcaster Stories looks to change that. Each show will have a conversation with podcasters across all mediums, and share their story – what motivates them, why they started their show, how they grew their show, and more. It’ll be a relaxed chat and – hopefully – help you be the podcaster, and person, you want to be.

episode 35: Andrew Davie on a Life-Saving Series of Unfortunate Circumstances
This week, I sit down with Andrew Davie, co-host of the Happy Hour with Heather and Guest podcast, a show that highlights local artists to perform and promote their music, live events, and more.
Andrew is also a survivor of a life-changing event that happened on his 40th birthday, and he shares that story and more on today's episode.
The Opposing Views That Got Him Into PodcastingWhile the podcast that he co-hosts with Heather is his current passion project, Andrew had another podcast that ran for several years, over 500+ episodes. He shares how listening to a podcast where one co-host had to convince the other host why a certain band was good helped him on his podcast journey.
The Expectation in Life of How Something is Going to BeAndrew used the example of how heavy metal music fans are supposed to look a certain way and how he looks anything but that. And that's something that we need to look at in life, how our expectations are shaped by stereotypical learnings, and how that holds us back.
How a Series of Unfortunate Circumstances Saved His LifeAndrew was due to fly out to visit his family, but his life was about to take a huge turn. Thankfully, as Andrew shares, there was a series of unfortunate - but, as it turned out, fortunate - circumstances that led him to where he is today.
