This week's guest is Lucy E.M. Black, talking about her work, A Quilting of Scars.

A quick pitch to all of you, though…

CFMU is the station of origin for this podcast. Even if you've never actually listened to 93.3 FM or cfmu.ca the importance of local and independent media continues to expand. Here in Hamilton, local media has been hit so badly that, technically, CFMU/The Silhouette is the largest newsroom in Hamilton. I'm being serious. We do the best we can with our amazing student staff and community/campus volunteers.

We are NOT owned by a hedge fund company that'll cut us for lack of profit. We are NOT a talented, well-meaning blogger who simply can't keep up the pace or afford to quit the day job. We have resources. We can do more. BUT NOT WITHOUT YOUR HELP.

PLEASE consider donating to 93.3 CFMU. We need the community to step up more than we ever have. $5. $10. $20. $30 gets you a Friends of CFMU card. Every bit helps.
