GET LIT E386 with STEVEN MAYOFF

2024/04/09

Hey folks! Spent last week on a self-imposed retreat. That means I rented an Airbnb in the city and holed up to get two full days of writing done, a thing that absolutely does not happen if I’m left to my own devices at home. You know, day job, housework, etc…kind of gets in the way. Happy to say it was successful. Was the writing good? Lord, no. But it’s a first draft, so at this point, it doesn’t matter. This week we talk to PEI resident Steven Mayoff about his novel, The Island Gospel According

GET LIT E385 with CHARLES AZULAY

2024/04/01

I had the unexpected pleasure of talking with Charles Azulay last week. I met Charles when I was about fourteen (and he was even younger), doing children’s theatre. We went on to do a production of Anything Goes and Hair at McMaster University. Pretty sure he sang “Three Five Zero Zero.” Yes, I was a pretty big musical theatre nerd! But not as much as Charles, who went on to do it professionally for decades. Anyway, I hadn’t seen Charles in over 30 years, so this reunion was an absolute delight

GET LIT E383 with TOM WILSON TEHOHAHAKE

Get Lit ·

2024/03/19

Hey folks! Once again, I got to spend a little time with Tom Wilson is his Hamilton home. I’ve known Tom since around 1990, and have seen him (and written about him) plenty since then. It’s been fascinating to watch his artistic endeavors expand and to follow his story (as laid out in his bestseller, Beautiful Scars). We talk about all kinds of things today but ostensibly this interview is about Mohawk Warriors, Hunters and Chiefs: The Art of Tom Wilson. Tune in!

2024/03/07

Hey folks! It’s fundraising time here at CFMU. So, just a quick note: I don’t get paid a dime to do any of this. Even if I tried to monetize it, let’s face it, this is pretty niche. So! If you appreciate the show, or want to support local radio / community broadcasting, please consider going to cfmu.ca/fundraising and helping out. Today’s show features Raymond Beauchemin. I had the pleasure of chatting with him in the CFMU studios. We discuss his collection of novellas, The Emptiest Quarter. Check

2024/02/28

Hey everyone! Back once again with David Neil Lee, to talk about the third in his creepy Lovecraftian YA trilogy! Thoroughly enjoyed The Great Outer Dark. If any of those previously-applied adjectives interest you (or if you read the first two) you won’t be disappointed.

GET LIT E379 with MICHELLE SYBA

2024/02/21

Hey all! The universe is a mean-spirited little kid right now, throwing fistfuls of gravel (it doesn’t hurt, but it’s just the sheer volume that’s troublesome). A few minor health things, a bit of work stress, etc., etc. Hope your lives are going well and that, when the little jerk starts throwing gravel, you can brush it off and keep moving forward . Today we talk to Michelle Syba. It was great to meet her and talk about her collection, End Times. Hope you like our conversation.

GET LIT E374 with KLIPH NESTEROFF

2024/01/18

Thrilled to have Kliph Nesteroff back on the show this week. I’ve known Kliph for about fifteen years (not well; we just barely meet the requirements to be called “acquaintances”) and I’ve followed his writing career with enthusiasm. Outrageous: A History of Showbiz and the Culture Wars is another winner. He’s a fun interview and has plenty to say.

Today's guest is my friend Steacy Easton, a critic, author, visual artist, academic and all-around fascinating person. We talk about two of their books, which are wildly different from one another.

2023/12/06

Hey folks! A special show for me today. My publisher passed along a submission a couple years back, asking if I was interested in editing the work. Over time, the book became known as The Blood of Five Rivers, and I can't recommend it enough. How do I end up working with such great authors? Anyhow, Arjun Bedi joins to me to talk about the book, "an intergenerational tale of fathers and sons, migration and integration, and the lasting impacts of legacy." It's also emotional, experimental and
