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.

E205 with ROLAND GULLIVER
Hey all! This week’s show features an interview with Roland Gulliver, the new Director at the Toronto International Festival of Authors. The festival starts today! There’s all kinds of really interesting things happening – online, of course, but the spirit remains the same. Gulliver discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by putting together a festival in such unusual circumstances. Tune in!
E197 with ROSS BELOT
Happy Thursday! Today’s episode of Get Lit features an interview with poet Ross Belot. Another great experience for me – I learn a lot when I interview poets (well, when I interview anyone, really). Ross’ new collection is called Moving to Climate Change Hours and its’ available through Wolsak & Wynn.
As an added bonus, since I had an extra five minutes, I added some readings from another local poet, Jaclyn Desforges, from episode 152!
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!
E124 with JENNIFER GILLIES from GRIT LIT
Hey! It’s that time of year again. For those of us in the Hamilton area, GRIT LIT is upon us!
We bring back our most frequent guest, the most excellent Jennfer Gillies, to talk about all that’s happening with this year’s fest. I will be hosting an event too, which I’ll detail for you next week.
Also, if you’re in Hamilton and want to come see some folks read their work, come on out Friday April 5, 7 pm, to King West Books. I’ll be reading, along with Chris Bailey and Owain Nicholson, to support the book launch of Mooncalves by Victoria Hetherington. Dig this show!
E106 with BARBARA LANGHORST
Hey all!
After six weeks I’m still battling some kind of cold/flu/evil spirit invasion, so I’m going to get right to the point. Today we chat with Barbara Langhorst about her new novel, Want. Met Barbara a couple weeks ago as I joined her for a couple of dates on her book tour. It was a blast, and I hope you enjoy our conversation!
E88 with John Flieger and Dawn Kresan
Hey folks!
The blog section of this site is becoming a bit unwieldy. I’m looking into a simple table of contents plug-in that will allow you to browse past episodes of the show by guest, so look out for that.
I’m also about to launch the show, in edited forms (with time-sensitive information removed) as a podcast. It will likely be available in all the usual places – iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, etc.
I’m also working on some exciting things that I cannot currently reveal. I’ll keep you in the loop! Otherwise, it’s business as usual – writing, writing, and more writing.
And reading! Books like You Are Among Monsters, by Jon R. Flieger, who is our feature guest this week. We’ll also talk to Dawn Kresan about the Pelee Island Book House. Check it out.
E87 with Klara du Plessis and Linda Frank
Hey folks! I’m off on another run down to Windsor doing a reading for the ChiZine folks at Phog Lounge. By the time this posts, I’m probably on a via train on the way home. Maybe I saw you?
Today’s program features two interviews with fabulous poets. Klara du Plessis joins us to talk about her collection Ekke. After that, we chat with Linda Frank about her newest collection, Divided.
Hope you enjoy….!
