The Lunchbox Interview: Enbicon 2018

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

There are so many things about roleplaying games that I could say to justify my love of them — they give you a safe space to explore identity, they are inspirational for creativity and problem-solving, they help you to practice complex rule interpretation and get quicker at simple math, etc — but most of all, they are fun.

My guests today are Marie Thérèse and Julian Christie, two of the team organizing this year’s Enbicon gaming convention. We talk about some of the changes to this year’s convention, from location to games, and offer a glimpse into the fun and learning we’ll be offering this year.

The Lunchbox Interview: Mark Jarman (Writer)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Stories may be more real when re-told by a storyteller, even when they really didn’t happen that way.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Mark Jarman, a writer currently working on creative non-fiction stories about Shanghai and Cap Pele, as well as other places.

The world is filled with more colours than we can see, and it takes an artist to show us the invisible.

Whether you like it or not, the music business is a business. This podcast series is meant to help the emerging musician navigate the music industry by talking to those in the local scene who are actually “doing it”.

Anything Goes 2018-09-08

Posted on by Posted in Anything Goes

Anything Goes with Bondo – there is so much great new music out thereThis week’s Anything Goes is kinda different. I talked a lot this week about Radiohead and polled social media on which Radiohead album is their favourite. After an overwhelming response from people far and wide it turns out that Kid A took the top spot. While searching CHSR’s music library for the CD I also accidentally stumbled upon an interview conducted by Nic Harcourt of KCRW 89.9FM, recorded October 12, 2000 in New York and broadcast in Los Angeles. It’s with Jonny and Colin Greenwood and they talk about recording Kid A and intercut tracks from the album. I found it super interesting and hopefully you do too.

Track Listing:

1.) Radiohead – Everything In It’s Right Place

2.) Radiohead – The National Anthem

3.) Radiohead – Idioteque

4.) Radiohead – Motion Picture Soundtrack
