Benjamin Lefebvre joins us to talk about In The Key of Dale, which is truly enjoyed. Give it a listen if you can.

Hey all! Today’s show features Simon Choa-Johnston. Born in Hong Kong and educated at McMaster, Choa-Johnston now lives in B.C. The first novel in this series, House of Wives, was a Globe & Mail bestseller. Today we talk about House of Daughters. Enjoy!

Hey all! Noelle Allen has been on the show several times. She’s the owner & operator of Wolsak and Wynn, a publishing house here in my hometown of Hamilton. However, today she’s here to talk about the Sharp Words Winter Book Fair! Even if you’re from elsewhere, it’s worth you time – Noelle discusses the pros of book fairs in general. You’ll find yourself wanting to go to one!

Hey folks! I had a super conversation with Molly Peacock about her latest, A Friend Sails In On A Poem. Make sure you check it out!

Hey all! Had a great talk with designer and author C.S. Richardson about his new novel, All The Colour In The World. Hope you enjoy.

Hey folks! This week we talk with Hamilton-based author Liz Worth. Music fans might have read her book Treat Me Like Dirt: An Oral History of Punk In Toronto and Beyond 1977 - 1981. Fun fact, the title is from an old Simply Saucer song, and if you don't know Simply Saucer, well, read my National Magazine Award-nominated article! (for a defunct magazine...but the text lives on here).

But back to Liz! Her new book is a literary horror novel called The Mouth Is A Coven and it's excellent. Check it out if you can.

Hey all! Today’s show requires a tiny bit more attention as most of what I say is kind of quiet. That’s the downfall of doing an interview in an uncontrolled environment (in this case, The Cannon on Ottawa Street).

The interview is great, though, because it’s one of those where I get to combine Get Lit with a lifetime of music journalism. I chat with Rollie Pemberton – aka musician Cadence Weapon – about his book, Bedroom Rapper. Check it out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone out there. Hope the holidays were good to you.

Quick book news: My novel, River, Diverted, is now available where fine ebooks are sold!

The first GET LIT of 2023 features author (and Ween fan) A.G. Pasquella. We discuss his latest, Welcome to the Weird America. Hope you enjoy.

Happy holidays everyone! If you're looking for something to do (like we're not all busy enough?) check out this week's episode featuring an interview with Pamela Mulloy, author of As Little As Nothing. Cheers!
