The Lunchbox 2020-08-18: Lessons of the Past

On the show:

  • It was Bad Poetry Day, so I hope you managed to rhyme something with orange. It was also Mail Order Day, which sounds really quaint until you click “Order” on Amazon.
  • Back in 2015, I spoke with Alex and Dylan about Theatre UNB’s production of Enron, a very weird play about a few, very important and terrible moments in history.
  • And looking back even further in history, I spoke to Robin Whittaker and Bella of Theatre St. Thomas about their 2019 production of A Life of Galileo.
