GET LIT E 232 with ALEXANDRA MORTON

Get Lit ·

2021/04/27

Alexandra Morton is a scientist, author and activist living on the coast of B.C. Not On My Watch is a disturbing look at salmon fisheries and what they do to the environment (and, by extension, it's about just how much our governments favor dollars over...I dunno, life, I guess). Angering, but in a good way? Hope you enjoy today's show.

Hey folks! Kliph Nesteroff is our guest this week. Kliph has done campus radio, worked for the CBC, been a stand-up comedian, and even published a remarkable blog about comedy history. Kliph was born in B.C. (where I first met him) but now lives in L.A. His first book, The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels and the History of American Comedy, has done exceptionally well and is a fabulous read.

2021/03/24

There are so many great books by Hamiltonians this spring. It’s kind of unbelievable (or should I say, I totally believe it? I don’t know). One of my favourites is Kill the Mall by Pasha Malla. It’s a very unique, highly unusual and even more highly entertaining work. Pasha joins me today to discuss!

GET LIT E222 with G.A. GRISENTHWAITE

Get Lit ·

2021/02/17

Today’s show is a special one for me because G.A. Grisenthwaite (also known as Gord) is a friend. I first met him at the Pelee Island Book House retreat five years ago. Margaret Atwood gave the workshops, and I remember how enthusiastic she was about Gord’s work. Gord is Nłeʔkepmx, a member of the Lytton First Nation, and Home Waltz focuses on an extraordinary weekend in the life of a Nłeʔkepmx teenager in the 1970s. Full disclosure: I was lucky enough to have done the substantive edit on this novel

2021/01/19

Hey everyone! Today’s show features U of T professor and author Mark Kingwell. His book On Risk is unintentionally timely (despite the mask on the cover, it wasn’t started in relation to the pandemic) and an interesting meditation on the concept of risk and its distribution. Enjoy!

GET LIT E217 with JENNA BUTLER

Get Lit ·

2021/01/12

Hey folks! Today's show features poet and author Jenna Butler. Her book is the kind of book that makes doing Get Lit so enjoyable (oh who am I kidding, they all make it enjoyable) because it's the kind of book I might not pick up on my own. I didn't know I was interested in bees until I had to read a book about bees! That book, Revery: A Year Of Bees is an excellent, interesting read. Enjoy the program.

Lorna is a remarkable poet and author, an Officer of the Order of Canada, and from my brief experience, a lovely human being.
