Four Stories – Readings from the Island Boy Public Journal
Hi! I’m Justin Shaw, and this is my public journal. This is a project I began during the Summer of 2020 and is designed to help me connect to communities – because no person should be an island unto themselves. This recording features four (four!) entries from my public journal and features tales about homesickness, horses, fiddle music, and Air Miles points. Big thank you to editors Benton Hartley and Dave Stewart from their help keeping me on track with what I have to say. This recording also features music by Fiddlers Sons, a Prince Edward Island band that creates music that I feel helps lift the words off the page. Happy listening!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Island Boy on Anchor FM. My name is Justin Shaw, and every week I’ll be sharing a piece of prose from my public journal.
I have created this space in an effort to connect to communities I am no longer a part of – because no person should be an island unto themselves. Tune in every week for a new story that will shared accompanying the weekly Island Boy public journal entry.
These entries are honest thoughtful reflections about growing up on Prince Edward Island, and I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy sharing them.
Thank you to Eddy Quinn and The Fiddlers Sons for sharing their wonderful music with these recordings – happy listening!
