E247 with JOE OLLMANN
Hey all! Earlier this week I posted an interview with Joe Ollmann to the pods, about his last graphic novel, the incredible Abominable Mr. Seabrook. Today we talk about his newest one, Fictional Father, which is extremely different but equally superb. Also, the file name spells his name wrong (it’s correct above). (I said that like the file name did the spelling. It did not. It was me. I goofed.)
Hope you enjoy!
E245 with TERENCE YOUNG
Hey folks! Today we’re talking with poet Terence Young about his collection Smithereens. Hope you enjoy!
E244 with SOFI PAPAMARKO
Hi folks! Today’s episode features an interview with author Sofi Papamarko. Her collection Radium Girl is great, so check it out and give us a listen!
E243 with MICHELLE BUTLER HALLETT
Hi everyone, hope you’re still having a great summer – and catching up on reading. Today’s guest is Michelle Butler Hallett. Her latest novel is Constant Nobody, one of my favourite reads so far this summer. Tune in to hear us talk all about it!
E242 with GENEVIEVE GRAHAM
Hey all! This week we have a chat with Genevieve Graham, lover of historical fiction and author of Letters Across the Sea. Listen in!
E240 with DAVID NEIL LEE
Hey everyone! My pal David Lee joins us today. Author, musician, Ornette Coleman biographer, chainsaw expert…fella wears many hats. Today we talk about the second book in his Midnight Games series, The Medusa Deep.
Bonus: I’ve finally taken our first interview, about the first book The Midnight Games, and posted it to the podcast page. Otherwise you’ll find it here.
E239 with STACEY CASE
Today we talk to renaissance man Stacey Case about Who’s the Man? Billy Van! Stacey was the proprietor of Hamilton’s Billy Van museum, and worked with author Greg Oliver on this in-depth bio of the Canadian performer (and, of course, star of Hamilton’s legendary Hilarious House of Frightenstein). Enjoy!
E238 with GLENN DIXON
Hey folks! Today we talk with author Glenn Dixon. I truly enjoyed Bootleg Stardust – especially for the musical elements, which is kind of right up my alley (I mean, Almost Famous is one of my favourite movies. And I’ve worked in the music biz / music biz-adjacent for, uh…a long time). Enjoy.
E237 with RUFUS HICKOK
Hey everyone! Join us this week as we talk to Hamilton-based author Rufus Hickok. His book is The Paris Bureau: How a Brooklyn Journalist Survived Jazz Age Paris with Help from Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound and his Family, and that title explains it all. Very interesting stuff – enjoy!
