    E4 - Leap Of Faith
    Mar 15 2020
    Portland is big on community. It’s an antidote to the high-flying, ladder-climbing world, and an invitation to slow down and reconnect over coffee, food, drink, politics and music. In this episode, Faustina unpacks how the social epicentre of the world’s sneaker industry can be traced to a tiny coffee shop in Portland’s Chinatown. And what happens when a clothing store rejects the norms of fashion and becomes a community for non-conformists.

    E2 - Changing The Game
    Mar 15 2020
    When you think about booze in Portland, you probably think of beer – specifically craft beer. But the Portland scene has so much more to offer. Faustina visits a local gin and whiskey distillery that’s an all woman operation, from the farmers growing the grain to the team barrelling and bottling. Later, Faustina unpacks sophisticated cannabis culture in Portland, how the city has made the most of legalisation, and how women are making weed theirs.
