Sunday Night Dinner

Kitchen Windows is a side-project of the Sunday Night Dinner podcast. In this time of Covid-19 and social isolation, it’s a chance to have a brief look into the kitchens of writers, musicians, chefs, artists and health-care superstars. What can they see out their window? What are they cooking for comfort? Who are they with? How do they spend their days? Shad is a Juno Award-winning rapper known for his witty, socially conscious lyrics. Born in Kenya to Rwandan parents, his family moved to London, Ontario where he grew up. He has released six studio albums, four of which have been shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, and he won a Juno for Rap Recording of the Year in 2011. He has been called “Canada’s most talented, genuine musical artist and one of the industry’s finest poets.” He also hosts the amazing documentary series Hip Hop Evolution on HBO Canada and Netflix.
