'If Only Love' with Author Shelley Saywell

My guest today is Shelley Saywell, an award-winning Canadian documentary filmmaker whose work has been seen in more than 40 countries and recognized around the globe. Shelley has won an Emmy for Investigative Journalism, multiple Hot Docs awards, and has been honoured with UNESCO’s Gandhi Medal for promoting a culture of peace.
She’s spent decades telling powerful stories about war, human rights, women, and children—often from the front lines. Now, she’s turned the camera inward with her deeply personal new memoir, If Only Love, a story of love, loss, and second chances that began when she was just seventeen at an international school in Japan.
The book has already been named a Heather’s Pick, and today we’re talking about the love story behind the lens—and what it means to look back with honesty, courage, and compassion.

Trying to prove you’re not a robot used to be easy. Now it feels like a full psychological evaluation. In this comedy rant, Judy Croon takes on CAPTCHA tests — the blurry images, the impossible instructions, the traffic lights that won’t commit, and the moment you realize the computer might be judging you. From bicycle squares to audio tests that sound like Satan gargling alphabet soup, this is modern stress in its purest form. If you’ve ever clicked a square, un-clicked it, re-clicked it, and questioned your entire existence — this one’s for you.

Welcome to Comedians with Compassion, the series where we shine a spotlight on the funny people who do far more than make us laugh — they make the world a little kinder. In every episode, we sit down with comedians who use their humour, heart, and platform to lift others up. Yes, they can crush a set, but they can also rally a community, raise a cause, and remind us that compassion is the best punchline of all. Today’s guest is someone who embodies that spirit beautifully.
Deborah Kimmett is a beloved Canadian comedian, writer, actor, and master storyteller whose work has been heard on CBC’s The Debaters, The Second City, and across stages and screens nationwide. Known for her sharp wit, big heart, and uncanny ability to find laughter in life’s messiest moments, Deborah has spent decades entertaining audiences while also inspiring them with her signature mix of humour and humanity.
But Deborah doesn’t just talk about compassion — she puts it into action. Each year, she leads her Annual Secret Santa Sock Fund, a grassroots initiative that has grown into a powerful force for good. What started as a simple gesture has blossomed into a community-driven effort providing warm socks and essential supplies to people experiencing homelessness. Through her comedy, her activism, and her generosity, Deborah Kimmett continues to prove that laughter can change lives — and that kindness never goes out of style.
