Hey everyone! Today we talk with author Matthew J. Trafford about his collection, Runs in the Blood.

On the personal front, I've submitted a manuscript which is exciting. Details to come. I'm also going to appear live on the CBC this weekend! If you're up early on Saturday, March 28, tune in to 99.1 FM or online to hear Fresh Air with Ismaila Alfa. At about 7:18 am (oh, so specifically-timed) I'll be on talking about community radio, Hamilton music, and the JUNOs. Also, it's a live event, with performers and other interviews, and the public is welcome. It's at Merit Brewing on James St. N., 6 – 9 am.

FInally…as you may already know, GET LIT is winding down. E500 will be my final episode (somethin else book-related will return in 2027 but it hasn't taken form yet). If you're in the Hamilton area, you can be part of E500! We'll be recording the last show live at the GritLit Festival. Which is exciting! Details here.

(Yes, recorded in April to air in June. Welcome to my life hahahaha)
