Posted on 2014-05-08 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Some people are all heart — or maybe all lungs. Gilles Francoeur suffered a serious injury 17 years ago, but he always told himself that he would get back on his bike and take to the road in his personal challenge of riding around the entire province.

The Lunchbox: Interview with Stephen Hero

Posted on 2014-04-04 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Music is open to all — or at least, that’s how we see it these days. It wasn’t always the case in hiphop, but rappers like Eminem inspired a generation to say “that’s like me, I can do that”, just like the original hiphop itself widened the world of so many young men and women.

The Lunchbox: Jeff Richardson & Jessica Hughes of United Way

Posted on 2014-04-03 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

There are a lot of great volunteer and non-profit organizations which create opportunities and solve problems within the community.

In times like those, it is organizations

The Lunchbox: Discussion: Music, Memory, Mixtape

Posted on 2014-03-31 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

No guest today, but Station Manager “They Call Him” Tim joins me and we muse about memories of Nirvana, the notion of curated music in an age of information overload as the answer to why vinyl is so popular, and the international, instantaneous nature of all forms of music (which defeats ageism).

The Lunchbox: Richard Gage of ReThink911

Posted on 2014-03-28 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

September 11, 2001. So many things changed that day, but are we really aware of all the changes? And what if we could tell that some of the changes weren’t real? The narrative is well-known to most, but is it correct? Many have proposed theories around what happened, but a group of scientists are making

The Lunchbox – Interview: John Staples on The Cross and the Closet

Posted on 2014-03-21 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

The world is a complicated place. Perhaps it has always been so, and individuals have always had to choose the compromises and integrations of the pressures of society, family, and your own sense of being. We think of ourselves perhaps in an enlightened age, but that only means that we can discuss these conflicts more
