- Something to look forward to.
I absolutely love The Afternoon Snack. I look forward to each episode and can’t wait for one of my weekly drives out to Banff or up the QEII to dive into an episode interruption free. Alex and Meredith offer vulnerability, well researched data, and informative insights all with a dose of humour and humanity. Thanks for letting us share a small piece of your world, you make the rest of our worlds brighter by doing so!

It’s amazing how much they judge and identify folks by how “unfit” they are. I am handicapped and unfortunately went from being an athlete to now fall into that unfit category.
You two are made for each other….glad I can choose not to listen to you.
