ARCHIVE EPISODE: Vancouver – The Beautiful and the Ugly, Part 2

📅 Originally released: March 31, 2021
📛 Originally released under my former podcast name: Vancouver True Crime

📢 Heads up: This episode was recorded under rough conditions—my microphone had broken, and I had to record it on an old iPhone 7. The audio is raw, but the stories? They’re vivid, unfiltered, and unforgettable.

This episode continues my look at Vancouver’s dual identity—a city of stunning views and brutal truths. It’s more personal, more chaotic, and at times, downright hilarious.

🕯️ In this episode:

A haunting memory of a suicide that still lingers

Life in a haunted basement suite while in college

The vodka-fueled escapades of a nymphomaniac upstairs neighbor

A sleazy affair involving a cheating wife while her husband was at work

The oddball characters and beautiful madness that made up East Vancouver in the 2000s

Sometimes the city felt cursed. Sometimes, it felt alive with mystery and madness. Either way, these stories are a time capsule of a Vancouver that no longer exists—but lives on in memory.

🎧 Please bear with the sound quality—it’s gritty, but so were the times.
