The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2019/01/14

2018/11/08

This month we needed to stitch our audio together from two recording devices. Can you find the stitch? How is our year long book challenge going? Not well! Candice hasn't completed a book since August, and is 26 books away from her year long goal of 52 books. Steph had switched from reading for pleasure to reading for work, which was its own challenge, but is now back on track. How is your book challenge going? We spend a lot of time discussing the nature of "Art", how stealing or borrowing affects

Technology is NOT our friend!

Graphic Novels, Comic Books and Politics

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2018/07/11

We talk a little politics, but not too much, don't worry. It's mostly just book talk this month. Lots we read, lots we are about to read. Summer is definitely the time to waste the day in the yard reading a good book or a guilty pleasure.

2018/04/29

Note - we had some technical problems in the first 8 minutes of this month's episode - Steph's microphone was not on. Don't worry, we fix it - power through the echoey sound for just a short bit. So many events at the cinema and the bookstore this month we had to record early to make sure we could let you know about them all! Events: Fit at Mid Life: A Feminist Fitness Journey by Samantha Brennan & Tracy Isaacs - May 3 at 7pm 5-Minutes Stories for Fearless Girls Book by Nick Craine & - Sarah Howden

Non-Fiction Reading to the Rescue!

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2018/04/10

What is the difference between a fiction book and a memoir style non-fiction? How long should a post apocalyptic story spend on survival rather than rebuilding? And this month's reading challenge is to read a book which has been sitting on your shelf unread for a bit too long. Candice and Steph also let some of their non-reading goals slip this month - learning economics and learning French. Books: Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman Molly's Game by Molly Bloom I Am Radar by Reif Larsen Song of

Emotions are for Chumps!

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2018/03/11

How do you mark time? Is it by days on the calendar? Events and markers? Journaling or task lists? How do you measure reading? Is success completing a book, or is it the mere act of reading? This and lots of movie talk this month! Books: Challenge for March - read a book one of this year's Oscar Nominees is based on! Ghost Summer - Tananarive Due The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson The Breadwinner (book) - Deborah Ellis The Breadwinner (graphic novel) - Deborah Ellis and Nora Twomey The

Women in Horror Month

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2018/01/15

Welcome to 2018! We've got the sniffles and colds, and we've decided to introduce a new year long challenge to our show. This year Steph and Candice will be reading a book a month from a different "Reading List" every month. We'll announce the list we are choosing from every episode so you can join in! This months it's 50 Books by 50 Canadian Women of Colour And then there's some other conversation about how Steph and Candice, while being culture vultures, are also both contrarian by not liking the

2017/12/21

Book culture versus actual reading - is there a difference or do they both rock? Steph and Candice take on this and other equally important topics this month as we struggle to stay afloat in this time of plenty (of work and people and food). Books: Robert Rose Collection of Cook Books and the Food Substitutions Bible The Venus Effect by Joseph Allen Hill - printed in Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017 The Girl Who Loved Cheese by Bob Desautels and Ava Desautels Barr Movies: Bladerunner

If You Can't Be Right, At Least Be Funny

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2017/11/06

Happy Halloween! It was fun for two horror loving ladies to hang out and have a conversation on Halloween day. But it's not all festivities! Our conversations veer wildly in directions we never expect and this month, it's on to the food business. Steph finds out Candice's background of almost 20 years in the food industry, primarily as a butcher. Get ready for a long conversation about food politics, how kids and adults get their information about what they should eat, and a round of applause for

80s Rock, Bad Movies and Cult Cinema

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2017/10/08

Will Candice see The Room? Should Candice see The Room? Weigh in by sending us your vote by comment, email, Twitter or Facebook. What makes cult films cult, what makes them good? How did the 80s affect rock music? What terrifies you more, science fiction and horror, or reality? This episode is more Steph and Candice than Steph and Candice (my weak attempt at a Bladerunner joke). Books: Tarantino: A Retrospective by Tom Shone Autonomous - Annalee Newitz Movies: The Christmas Movies - Die Hard,

Everything New is Fall Again

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2017/09/18

Whoa! The energy is high! Fall brings new things, new starts, new friends, new weather. Everything is shiny. Steph and Candice opine about how great the Fall is and how great the Fall in Guelph is and how troubling Stephen King's life might have been as a young adult. We cover all the usuals, horrors both real and imaginary, the narrative men are taught about being men, what makes a bad movie good, the power of shared experience and still almost no music talk! Join a book club friends! Can't find

The Dog Days of Summer

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2017/08/07

It's hot, hot August and Steph and Candice are finding solace in air conditioned movie theatres, and by the water with books. As such, this is a super-sized episode. There is a bit of garbled sound around minute 15, our apologies Books covered: American Gods by Neil Gaman Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes by Sarah Melville The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King Elizabeth Costello by J.M.

Fun in the Sun?

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2017/07/11

Sun? Yes or no? It's a classic question. Speaking of classic - what makes a movie a classic? Is it how long it's been released for? Judging by the length of this episode you would think Steph and Candice hadn't spoken in years. We just had so much to say! Books: The Amateurs by Liz Harmer Ghost Train to New Orleans by Mur Lafferty The Shambling Guide to New York City by Mur Lafferty Horror Stories by Richard Matheson Movies: Bon Cop, Bad Cop 2 - July 11 & 12 The Beguiled - July 14 - 27 Churchill -

The Summer Has Arrived!

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2017/06/13

It's summer time and we are talking about lighter reading, fan fiction and the nature of creativity! Things get a little muddy in the middle when both of us non-writers ponder over how writers must come up with their ideas.

I, Daniel Blake Movies and Talk Discussion

The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf ·

2017/05/29

Over the fall and winter of 2016/2017 the Bookshelf Cinema hosted a Movies and Talk series on the first Sunday morning of every month. The films were only announced once everyone was in their seat, and they were always followed by a thoughtful discussion with an expert from our community. In April the cinema screened Ken Loach's new film I, Daniel Blake, about a man in his 50s who, after a serious heart attack, must navigate the British social services system to stay afloat as he takes time off work
