Hey folks!
This week’s guest is Lucy E.M. Black, talking about her work, A Quilting of Scars.
A quick pitch to all of you, though…
CFMU is the station of origin for this podcast. Even if you’ve never actually listened to 93.3 FM or cfmu.ca the importance of local and independent media continues to expand. Here in Hamilton, local media has been hit so badly that, technically, CFMU/The Silhouette is the largest newsroom in Hamilton. I’m being serious. We do the best we can with our amazing student staff and community/campus volunteers.
We are NOT owned by a hedge fund company that’ll cut us for lack of profit. We are NOT a talented, well-meaning blogger who simply can’t keep up the pace or afford to quit the day job. We have resources. We can do more. BUT NOT WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
PLEASE consider donating to 93.3 CFMU. We need the community to step up more than we ever have. $5. $10. $20. $30 gets you a Friends of CFMU card. Every bit helps.
Thanks friends
Hey everyone ! Had a great conversation with author Marcello Di Cintio about his newest, Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers. Listen in.
Hello everyone! Today’s show is admittedly one of the most local show I’ve done on Get Lit. It features my friend Jason Allen, talking all things to do in Hamilton. Quite literally, actually; we talk about his book, 52 Things To Do In Hamilton: The Insider’s Guide to Fun in the Hammer. Before you tell me you don’t live here or never plan to visit here, there’s still stuff to be learned. Every city has its treasures. Pointing out ours might help you find the treasures in your own town!
Hey everyone! Last time we talked to Barbara Sibbald, it was over four hundred episodes ago. Can I say, that’s totally bananas? She’s back again to talk about her novel Almost English.
Hey folks! Great chat with author PP Wong about her latest novel, Slice the Water (was longlisted for Canada Reads this year). Check out the book, check out the show!
Hi folks! This week’s show features poet Anna-Lee Popham, talking about her last collection, Empires of the Everyday. We’re also joined by Noelle Allen to talk about Sharp Words 2026!
