The Signal

Today on the show we talk about mid-June gardening and what to know as Father's Day approaches and hopefully the frost warnings are behind us. 

After 26 years as an RCMP officer, Bill Malone is now an author. His new book is a candid and sometimes graphic look at the reality of police work, and the toll it takes. He joined host Adam Walsh to talk about his story that takes the reader from smalltown New Brunswick to international conflict zones, and then inside the long, quiet aftermath of trauma, PTSD, and rebuilding a life after the uniform comes off.

The theme of the summer issue is "paper." The editor and contributors to the show to talk about the articles and art and about their own relationship with paper and other physical media.

What can small and remote communities do to attract and entertain more visitors? The answer might lie in the stories that are told and the people who tell them.
