Testing For Echo – Episode 21 – This one will be interesting and a little different – Orig. Air Date April 1, 2023

Hello all. Welcome to Episode 21

This episode is going to sound and feel a little bit different for a few reasons.

First of all, I’m going to put out a huge thank you to my new friend Chip who has helped me get many of the celebrity ID clips between songs. You’re going to hear that there are a few more than before and they are huge. You’ll see.

Secondly, back in the1980’s I snapped up an interesting little 10 inch sampler record by EG Records, just because it looked interesting.

I had more or less forgotten about it until recently so I tracked it down. I have several of the songs interspersed in this show from Brian Eno, David Byrne, Robert Fripp and Adam and the Ants. So you know they’re going to be a little weird. But fun!

Now, just press that little arrow down the left of the page to listen/download the podcast. 

Take good care and enjoy!

My guest today is Craig Schneider, a sculptor and installation artist participating in the collective art exhibit Reflections, which is this year’s celebration and commemoration of World Water Day hosted by the UNB Art Centre. Schneider has included Prayers to the River, a video installation demonstrating his work in both mirroring and interjecting into the natural ecosystem of water life.

My guest today is Ann Manuel, a visual artist participating in the World Water Day art installation celebrated by the UNB Arts Centre.

Ann joins me to talk about what water has meant to her, and how this pond became a focus for some of her visual exploration.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
I sometimes wish I had the presence of mind to just record the same intro and use it over and over again instead of re-recording it, because I think I’m even nailing the exact same tone. Well, except when I lost my voice, but that was a whole different problem that nobody wanted to hear broadcasted. Or, maybe they did, who am I to judge.

Anyway, there’s some new releases this week! Check out the playlist below and download the podcast to blare it super loud and annoy everyone around you. Or maybe educate them on some stellar tracks. Do it.

The Lunchbox Interview: Shelley Petit (NBCPD)

We all have needs, but sometimes we need to band with others to make those needs known.

My guest today is Shelley Petit, the Chair of the New Brunswick Coalition of Persons With Disabilities (NBCPD), an advocacy organization looking to provide a voice to represent those with disabilities. Their goal is “to achieve a New Brunswick where people with disabilities would all have access to an adequate standard of living, have access to suitable supports to be able to fully and equally participate in society”.

Shelley joins me to talk about the origins of the organization, some of the challenges and opportunities facing NBCPD, and some immediate concerns and awareness that they are trying to raise.

The Lunchbox Interview: Don Hannah (Playwright, “Resident Aliens”)

Some events we recognize as important when they happen; others can only be realized long after, upon reflection.

My guest today is Don Hannah, a Canadian playwright behind the new play Resident Aliens. He joins me live in studio to chat about the factual origins of one part of this play — the remarkable travel of New Brunswicker Vivian Larsen in 1959 — and the fictional but realistic origins of the other part of this play, as a character looking back on a lifetime. We also talk about writing, exploring New Brunswick stories and being a playwright.

Resident Aliens premieres at TNB’s Open Space Theatre on March 22, and runs nightly until March 25, with a matinee performance on March 26. After that, it goes on tour across the province to six other locations.
