It is with great pride that I can tell you I did\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>win at this week’s 24th annual Hamilton Literary Awards<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lemme explain that further: if you’ve gotta lose, lose to a Leacock Medal<\/span> <\/a>winner. It’s hard to feel like you lost\u00a0anything\u00a0<\/em>when you are in such esteemed company. It’s surreal to even have my name on that finalists list, given the list included Caroline Stellings<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Gary Barwin<\/span><\/a> and\u00a0Brent Van Staalduinen<\/span><\/a>. Gary took the fiction prize, as he should have. I did what was probably the best reading of my new career so far, so I’m happy as hell about the whole thing. Plus I got to hang out with the amazing people I’ve been meeting on the Hamilton lit scene. Kudos to the other winners as well – Chris Pannell<\/span><\/a> for poetry, Shawn Selway<\/span><\/a> for non-fiction, and Andrew Baulcomb<\/span><\/a>, winner of the Kerry Schooley Award<\/span><\/a>. Way to clean up, Wolsak & Wynn!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Today’s show features an interview with lawyer,\u00a0musician, political consultant, commentator and (of course) author, Warren Kinsella<\/span><\/a>. His book Recipe for Hate<\/span><\/a> has been receiving a lot of attention lately and its combination of politics and punk rock meant it was pretty much in my wheelhouse. Hope you enjoy the show.<\/p>\n
