Don’t confuse the episode number with an “Error 404” okay? You might miss my conversation with Leslie Shimotakahara, who is here to talk about her latest, Sisters of the Spruce!

E403 with MARGARET NOWACZYK
This week we have my pal Margaret Nowaczyk back on the show, to talk about her collection Marrow Memory: Essays of Discovery. Enjoy!
E402 with EMILY A. WEEDON
Autokrator is one of the most original books I’ve read in a while (also: thought-provoking, exciting, horrifying). That’s why I wasn’t surprised by how much enjoyed this conversation with author Emily A. Weedon. Check it out!
E401 with AVIK JAIN CHATLANI
Hey folks! Today’s guest is Avik Jain Chatlani, here to talk about his amazing (and occasionally harrowing) novel, This Country Is No Longer Yours. Enjoy the show.
E400 with SHASHI BHAT
FOUR HUNDRED, PEOPLE
That’s wild.
As I mentioned on the show last week, I’m looking at winding the show down. The book-a-week reading pace has really interrupted my writing time. Then again, when I say “winding down” I mean…maybe episode 500? Which is about 100 books away?
I imagine after I do that, I’ll start up a new pod, likely about writing, but not likely on a weekly basis.
In the meantime to celebrate 400 we have Shashi Bhat, here to talk about her excellent collection of stories, Death by A Thousand Cuts. I hope you like!
E399 with NICOLA WINSTANLEY
Hey folks! Today we talk with author Nicola Winstanley about her collection of stories, Smoke, New Zealand, and other fun things. Listen in!
E398 with SHEILA JAMES
Hey folks! Recovering from COVID over here. Good times. I’m OK though.
Today we talk with Sheila James about her novel, Outcaste. Enjoy!
E396 with A.G.A. WILMOT
Hey folks! Seems every time I read a Canadian horror book, I’m floored. Last time it was Andrew F. Sullivan‘s The Marigold. Now it’s A.G.A. Wilmot‘s Withered. Big ups to ECW Press, I guess! It hit all my horror sweet spots (creepy spots?). Listen in as we discuss Withered, mental health, and horror stuff.
E395 with J ANDERSEN and DAVID EISENSTADT
Today’s show is a double-header. We welcome back David Eisenstadt, to talk about his book, Under the Radar: 36 Notable Canadian Jewish Performers. We also talk with J Anderson about his debut collection of stories and poems, A Nasty Piece of Work Vol. 1. Hope you enjoy the show.
E394 with FRANKIE BARNET
Welcome to this week’s show! We had a great conversation with author Frankie Barnet, talking about their latest, Mood Swings. Listen in.
