Two new episodes in the space of a week??? Don’t get used to it! Here’s my discussion with Abi about Underdark and YURI.

Interview Eight: Christopher Tenerowicz (Self Defense Family / Twin Cisterns / Thee Visitors)

This episode was recorded in June. We had a load of technical difficulties at the time so I avoided editing it for over 3 months. It’s done now - I’ll rewrite the description later. Anyway, here’s my discussion with Chris about all things Self Defense Family, Twin Cisterns, Thee Visitors, composing for television, and the Great Outdoors.

Interview Seven: Charlene Elsby (Hexis / Psychros / Musos)

Interview Seven: Charlene Elsby (Hexis / Psychros / Musos)

James spoke with Charlene Elsby, the hyper-productive Canadian author who only writes books with one word titles (thus destroying this show’s episode-naming convention. They talked about making the most of being forced to change academic disciplines, writing about murder realistically, pumping out books left, right and centre, the difference between Clash Books and Porcupine’s Quill, mutual friends and reference points, and genuinely enjoying television designed to kill as many brain cells as possible.

Interview Five: Daniel Eastman (Watertown)

Interview Five: Daniel Eastman (Watertown)

James had a really enjoyable chat with Daniel Eastman about his first poetry book ‘Watertown’ (to be released in May 2021 through Back Patio Press). James and Dan talked about the happy accidents that saw this book come to life, working with Back Patio Press (as editors, publishers and friends), Raymond Carver, and Trailer Park Boys. Dan also read a couple of pieces from Watertown at the end of the episode so stick around for that. Nice.
