E365 with SCOTT THORNLEY
Hey folks! Got to speak to Scott Thornley during Supercrawl this year, and here we get to go a bit more in-depth about his recent novel, Middlemen. Check it out if ya can.
E364 with G.A. Grisenthwaite
Hey folks!
If you’re a fan of my book (or not!) River, Diverted, follow me on Instagram and check out my saved stories – the “River” tour of Nagano, Japan. It was a lotta fun. Now I’m almost over jet lag and ready with a new show!
G.A. (Gord) Grisenthwaite and I have been friends since 2016 and I’ve been lucky to work with him not once, but twice. Last time, we talked about the novel Home Waltz, which I edited. Same goes for his new collection of short stories, Tales For Late Night Bonfires. It’s pretty amazing. Check it out.
E363 with WAUBGESHIG RICE
Waubgeshig Rice is back on the show! We talk about Moon of the Turning Leaves, the sequel to his successful Moon of the Crusted Snow. Was a fun conversation, hope you enjoy!
E362 with LORNA CROZIER
The last time I spoke with Canadian poetry legend Lorna Crozier, it was the middle of the pandemic. She was mourning the loss of her husband Patrick Lane, and I had some things going on as well; needless to say it got a bit emotional (though I didn’t air that part). It was amazing to get to talk to her again, especially because this time it was about poetry: her new collection After That. Listen in if you can.
E361 with SEAN MICHAELS
I first met Sean Michaels as a member of the grand jury for the Polaris Music Prize. He very modestly told me he was “working on a book.” That book, of course, was the Giller-winning Us Conductors. I got to speak to him about that book, and again when he released The Wagers (we did an event together and it recorded it to be two episodes). Sean’s newest, Do You Remember Being Born, is fantastic. Hope you enjoy our conversation.
E360 with ALICIA ELLIOTT
Hope you’re all doing well out there. Had a blast putting together today’s show, which features author Alicia Elliott. Her debut novel, And Then She Fell: A Novel is amazing and occasionally horrifying. Highly recommended. If you enjoy, you can hear her talk about her collection of essays, A Mind Spread Out On The Ground, over here on E127.
E359 with EMILY OSBORNE and JAKE BYRNE
Hey folks! In order to get as many folks on as I can I’ve done another double episode. Two great books of poetry this week. We speak with Emily Osborne (Safety Razor) and Jake Byrne (Celebrate Pride With Lockheed Martin). Hope you enjoy ’em both.
E358 with EDEN BOUDREAU
Hey all! On today’s show we talk with Eden Boudreau about her powerful memoir, Crying Wolf. Content warning for sexual violence, just so you know.
E357 with JANIKA OZA
Hey everyone. This week, we chat with Janika Oza. Her novel, A History of Burning, is remarkable. Listen in to find out what it’s all about.
