Brent Vans is back! It's his fourth time on the show. This time here's here to talk about his new collection, Cut Road.

Hey all! Today we chat with local publisher Michelle River about her company Eerie River!

Hey folks! Today we chat with amazing Terri Favro about her newest, The Sisters Sputnik!

Hey folks! I got to speak to the excellent Gurjinder Basran (it’s been a while!) about her latest “cheery” novel, Help! I’m Alive. We had a good time, the book is great, you should listen!

Hey folks! The world is…well…things have been better. For some folks, the reality of climate change alone has made it difficult to deal. If that sounds like you (or even if it doesn’t) you should listen in to hear author/blogger Britt Wray talk about her new book Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis.

Welcome back to another poetry show! This week it's Phoebe Wang (Waking Occupations) and Madhur Anand (Parasitic Oscillations). Hey, those two titles rhyme. Neat. Great books and great conversations, listen in!

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.

Hey all! Today’s guest is novelist and critic Martha Schabas (author of Various Positions). She joins me to talk about her latest novel, My Face In The Light. Check it out.

Hey everyone! Back into the poetry this week (with more to come!). Today we talk with both Ellie Sawatzky (about None Of This Belongs to Me) and Isabella Wang (about Pebble Swing).

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 millennium, which happen to coincide with my first five years working at 93.3 CFMU FM. Barclay’s book is great and he’s a good dude. Tune in.
