Hey folks! Had the pleasure of doing this interview with author and poet Amber McMillan. Her collection of short stories is called The Running Trees. Check it out!
Goose Lane
E235 with PATRICIA ROBERTSON
Hey all! Tune in for our conversation with Patricia Robertson. Her thought- provoking collection Hour of the Crab is also well worth your time. Enjoy!
E214 with CATHERINE BUSH
Merry Merry and Happy Happy to everyone out there in lit land. Our weekly show lands on Christmas Eve, so you might not get around to it quite yet, but if you’re looking for something to do between the holidays, we’ve got you covered.
Our guest to day is Catherine Bush, discussing her latest novel, Blaze Island. I hope you enjoy!
E187 with CHRIS HUTCHINSON
Hey folks! Two guests today. First up, author Anne Bokma joins us to talk about her 6-Minute Memoir series. If you’re reading this prior to June 20, 2020, at 730 pm, buy a ticket! I’ll be joining in to read a bit on the topic of leaving home / coming home. Should be good times.
Our feature interview is with poet Chris Hutchinson. We talk about his newest collection, In The Vicinity of Riches. Hope you enjoy!
E186 with TANJA BARTEL
This week we have two guests. First up, Amanda Leduc will tell us about how the Festival of Literary Diversity managed to take their entire festival online, and what they’ve got going on in the future. After that, we talk with poet Tanja Bartel, whose excellent collection Everyone At This Party is available through Goose Lane. Hope you enjoy!
E165 with J.R. McCONVEY
For those who don’t know, this program/podcast is recorded at 93.3 CFMU FM in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I gleefully pilfer company time to pre-record interviews and piece shows together in our production room. Alas, our production computer has collapsed, so I’ve been duct-taping shows together with speakerphones and microphones and, for the first time every, broadcasting live on FM just so I can capture the web download after.
Good times.
All that to say: apologies for a few tech problems (such as our voices being at different levels) but the show must go on! Today we talk to J.R. McConvey about his excellent short story collection, Different Beasts. Dig!
E157 with REBECCA FISSEHA
I’m on vacation this week…so I’ll keep it short! Today we talk to Rebecca Fisseha about her excellent novel, Daughters of Silence. Tune in!
E123 with JONATHAN ROTONDO
Hey folks!
Just a quick note about the show this week, that’s all…busy prepared for a mini-retreat to dive headlong into a new draft of the current novel.
Our guest is writer, former journalist and biplane pilot Jonathan Rotondo. Airborne: Finding Foxtrot Alpha Mike is a result of all three of those descriptors. Hope you enjoy the show!
E121 with AMY SPURWAY
Hey folks!
The wonders of publishing never cease. Incredibly, two and a half years after publication, The Captain of Kinnoull Hill has received a review in the University of Toronto Quarterly. It was an overdue issue, by about nine months. Still, will the wonders never cease? I have posted it in another blog – as the Quarterly is not free and I can’t post a link, the author has given me permission to cut and paste. Read it here.
This week’s guest is Dartmouth-based author Amy Spurway. Her book, Crow, is a wonderful read, I enjoyed getting to know its titular character. There’s a lot of personality in this one, and I hope you dig the interview.
E110 with IAN WEIR
Hi there everybody! Hope you are having an amazing holiday.
To add to the amazing, you should pick up The Death and Life of Strother Purcell, a terrific “revisionist Western” and thoroughly enjoyable read. In the meantime, listen to author Ian Weir talk about it.
Have a Happy New Year as well!
