Welcome to the House of Crouse. To me the still shot of two teens, one wearing an Edward Bear t-shirt, hitchhiking on a two-lane highway is a powerfully nostalgic Canadian image. I grew up in 1970s era Nova Scotia where hundreds of kids (me included) hitchhiked on roads big and small. The image is iconic, a sentimental picture of a simpler time brought to vivid life in “Weirdos,” Bruce McDonald and Daniel MacIvor's sweet new coming of age story. So pull up a beanbag chair, pull on your tie dyed t-shirt and listen to Bruce and Daniel as they transport us back to the 1970s. C'mon in and sit a spell.

Welcome to the House of Crouse. C'mon in, pull up a bean bag chair and enjoy photographer Chris Buck talking about taking portraits of everyone from President Obama and President Trump to Jay Z and Willie Nelson for his book Uneasy. Which world leader did he make spit out their gum? Listen in and find out. Then Logan star Hugh Jackman comes by to talk about finding the confidence to get up on stage in drama school. It's good stuff, so sit back, relax and sit a spell.

Welcome to the House of Crouse. Put on your jumpers or your nicest frock! It's "Rule, Britannia!" Day around the HoC.

Then it's sit-back-and-listen-to-a-legend time as we raid the vault to bring you Michael Caine speaking about his revenge flick "Harry Brown." It's great stuff, so never mind the bollocks, drop in for a cuppa and take a load off.
