In The Field March 5 2013

This week on In The Field, what better way to deal with winter chills than with a hot bowl of soup? We go to Edmonton and spend an evening with the Soup Sisters, and then to Prince Rupert for an afternoon at Soup Daddy's. We learn how an old tradition in the art world, the artist-patron relationship, is allowing young dancers to study at the National Ballet School. And we'll meet the people behind the graphic novel publisher Drawn and Quarterly - "graphic soup" as Lynda Barry calls it.
