E478 with JANET TURPIN MYERS
Back in 2017 I met a lovely group of writers on Pelee Island (I’ll include Margaret Atwood and Graeme Gibson in that group). I also did a book swap with Janet Turpin Myers, but haven’t been able to have her on the show until this week. We discuss her latest, Love Watching Madness. Listen in!
E477 with SCOTT NEIGH
Hey folks! I’ve known author and broadcaster Scott Neigh for a while, originally from my day job at 93.3 CFMU FM. Today he joins me (and comes back on the CFMU airwaves) to talk about his book, Listen! Knowing The World And Fighting To Change It. So like the title says…
E476 with ROB MCLENNAN
Hey folks. Happy New Year! Show’s up a day early. Today we talk with Rob McLennan about his latest, The Book of Sentences. Check it out.
E475 with DAVID BERGEN
Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Releasing the show a day early so I can devote tomorrow to family. This week we talk to David Bergen. Always great to have him on the show. We’re discussing his latest, Days of Feasting and Rejoicing. Enjoy and have a great holiday!
E474 with SADIQA DE MEIJER
Hey folks! Just fresh back off Toronto Island, now hoping to maintain some of the forward momentum. In the meanwhile, had a great talk with Sadiqa de Meijer about her collection of essays, In The Field. Hope you enjoy.
By the way yes there will be a show “Christmas Day” though I’ll probably get it out a touch early 😀
E473 with SEAN MINOGUE
Hey folks! I’m currently sitting at a desk overlooking the frozen road (and, if I squint through the trees, the Toronto skyline) in front of the Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts. I’m half-way through a seven-day retreat, working on my current MS.
Still, the show goes on! This week we talk with Sean Minogue about his novel, Terminal Solstice. Listen in.
E472 with LILLIAN ALLEN, GARY BARWIN and GREGORY BETTS
Hey folks! Lots of folks on the show today, all for the same project – Muttertongue: What Is A Word In Utter Space, both a collaborative collection and also a sound recording of the same name. Great conversation with Lillian Allen, Gregory Betts and Gary Barwin. Enjoy!
E471 with SKY GILBERT
