The cold, dark, vastness of space; the thrum and hum of well-tuned hyperdrives; robotic comrades, incredible technologies and transitions into cyberspace. Science fiction presents us with delightful questions and imaginative answers, from “What If?” to “What Will We Become?”. And then take it to the next step: no only thinking about these stories, but inhabiting them through roleplaying games.

In a digital age where
everyone is extremely accessible it’s easier than ever to send your music to almost anyone with just a couple clicks of a button. This also means that because of such accessibility, everyone’s doing it. CHSR’s Music Department literally gets hundreds of emails each week from artists, labels, promoters and industry folk looking to get their music heard.
In Episode 008, Mind Your Own Business host Erin Bond reads a recently received email from her inbox and discusses the points about it that makes it so great. Then she does the same with a not-so-great email, and even shares the worst email she’s ever received. Listen in for tips and pointers that will actually make the media want to read your email and up the chances of you getting a response.
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”.

Not everybody starts gaming by picking up a Player’s Handbook or GM’s Guide and reading it. Most of us are brought into the hobby by other games that start to awaken interest in more sophisticated roleplaying experiences. We gather to talk about some of the games which inspired us to get into gaming, or which we have seen other people get interested in.

With so much of modern media rapidly and pointlessly switching between target locations, it’s important to remember just how much drama we can extract from a single spot..
My guests this week are Len Falkenstein (UNB Director of Drama), Temi Osunbunmi (actor), Mary Walker (actor) and Julianne Richard (actor). This week, Theatre UNB brings not one but two plays, a double-feature of one-act, locked room mystery plays, overall entitled There’s No Getting Out Of Here Alive!. The evening presents Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit and Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound. The group joins me to talk about the challenges and benefits of single-location, one-act plays, as well as what sort of dark or ridiculous humour we can expect to see.
There’s No Getting Out Of Here Alive! opens on Thursday, November 29 at 7:30pm at Memorial Hall on UNB campus, and runs Friday and Saturday nights as well. Don’t miss it!

Moving sucks. Not just the act of moving, but leading UP to moving. All of it sucks.
So here’s a whole bunch of awesome tunes that I have been blaring all day while working on moving. I’m slowly going through my library of older tunes (older as in 5~ years) to unearth them yet again. I also need to start thinking about this year in review and what I’ll be playing in December.
Yikes.

We often say it is the season of giving; it is often hard to know what to give someone, but sometimes it is obvious.
My guest today is Sabrina, a young woman living in Fredericton far from her home in Newfoundland. She’s here in the city with ambitions to go into journalism, which has kept her from seeing her family for four years. Unfortunately, her great-grandmother has passed away, and she’s seeking help from the public to help her get back home for a while, to support her family and draw some strength from her. She joins me on the show to talk about her grandmother’s influence on her life, and the additional medical difficulties that make travelling home a significant financial burden.
If you feel inclined, you are encouraged to contribute to Sabrina’s GoFundMe campaign, or contact her directly to offer your support via phone: (506) 230-7557.
