Get Lit

Hey all! Double shot of talent today. First up is poet Sophie Crocker, here to talk about her collection Brat. Next up is writer, journalist and instructor Anya Wassenberg. Tune in for both!

Hey folks! Today we talk with John Brady McDonald, author of Carrying It Forward: Essays from Kistahpinânihk. Hope you enjoy the conversation.

Folks, if you enjoy GET LIT and want to support it…well, you kind of can’t, because I don’t get paid. BUT you can support the station of origin, 93.3 CFMU in Hamilton! For more information, go here. It would mean a lot if you can help us!

This week I am excited to welcome Liz Harmer back to the show! We talk about her latest, Strange Loops.

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.
