GET LIT E322 with LIZ WORTH

Get Lit ·

2023/01/17

Hey folks! This week we talk with Hamilton-based author Liz Worth. Music fans might have read her book Treat Me Like Dirt: An Oral History of Punk In Toronto and Beyond 1977 - 1981. Fun fact, the title is from an old Simply Saucer song, and if you don't know Simply Saucer, well, read my National Magazine Award-nominated article! (for a defunct magazine...but the text lives on here). But back to Liz! Her new book is a literary horror novel called The Mouth Is A Coven and it's excellent. Check it

GET LIT E321 with ROLLIE PEMBERTON

Get Lit ·

2023/01/10

Hey all! Today’s show requires a tiny bit more attention as most of what I say is kind of quiet. That’s the downfall of doing an interview in an uncontrolled environment (in this case, The Cannon on Ottawa Street). The interview is great, though, because it’s one of those where I get to combine Get Lit with a lifetime of music journalism. I chat with Rollie Pemberton – aka musician Cadence Weapon – about his book, Bedroom Rapper. Check it out.
