2022/05/25

This week another double shot of poetry! (Sorry. I think that “double shot” thing stuck in my head from too much classic rock radio in my youth). We’re joined by Laurie D. Graham (Fast Commute) and Tolu Oloruntoba (Each One A Furnace). Oloruntoba’s last collection, The Junta of Happenstance, won the Governor General’s award for poetry which was exciting because we shared a publisher in Palimpsest Press! Enjoy the show.

GET LIT E285 with MICHAEL BARCLAY

2022/05/05

Michael Barclay and I came up in music journalism around the same time. He started with ID Magazine in Guelph, while I was writing a Spectator column and just beginning with View Weekly. Given our ages and interests, it was pretty clear I’d love his books, and so far, I absolutely have – from Have Not Been The Same to The Never-Ending Present (for which I got to interview him) to the newest, Hearts on Fire. This one hits me right in the musical feels, focusing on the first five years of the new

Hey folks! Had a great time last weekend with the return of live GritLit events. I was able to attend two of them, and everything felt all weirdly familiar and wonderful (and fairly anxiety-free...unlike the Judas Priest show I attended two weeks ago, but that's another story). For me though, the highlight was probably hanging with the cool GritLit folks afterward, fine people I haven't seen in a while. Oh, and demonstrating ska dancing for the table. I suppose, if nothing else, it will be easy to

It's that time of year again. I got to goof around with the inestimable (is that the right word?) Jennifer Gillies, Artistic Director for the GritLit Readers and Writers Festival. Yes, it's in Hamilton, but don't fear, listeners - a lot of it's online and you can join the fun.

Very excited to have Martha Wainwright on the show this week.

Her memoir, Stories I Might Regret Telling You, is a excellent read. Check out our conversation.

2022/02/17

Hey all! Things sound a little different today because cell reception was spotty and we switched to Zoom. I could see going that way permanently if I can afford a decent microphone… It was nice to see my guest for a change, though! I had a great conversation with Daniel Scott Tysdal about his collection of short stories, Wave Forms and Doom Scrolls. Was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy.

GET LIT E271 with MARK SCARBROUGH

2022/01/27

Hey all! As you probably know, a large portion of my guests are Canadian, with the occasional Canadian-adjacent author (with a Canadian publisher, formerly lived in Oshawa, whatever the case may be). Thanks to a keen publicist though, Mark Scarbrough‘s memoir, Bookmarked: How The Great Works of Western Literature F*cked Up My Life came my way. An interesting and entertaining read despite occasionally serious subject matter. Really had fun in this conversation. Hope you enjoy the show.

2022/01/19

Hey everyone! Happy to say today’s guest is Margaret Nowaczyk. Margaret is a geneticist and writer in Hamilton. I first met her at the Pelee Island Book House retreat back in 2017. The workshops were with Margaret Atwood, so we took to calling Dr. Nowaczyk “Our Margaret” to differentiate… Chasing Zebras: A Memoir of Genetics, Mental Health and Writing is excellent and available through Wolsak & Wynn.
