The Lunchbox Interview: Denise Billings, Pamela Young (MMFC)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

There are a lot of wonderful agencies that want to help people going through trauma associated with violence. But how well do they work together?

My guests today are Denise Billings and Pamela Young. They are working on a project at the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Foundation to help multiple service providers related to trauma specifically with people with disabilities find ways to work and talk together, and to help them be aware of each other. We talk about the need they are addressing, some of the factors which complicate matters (such as intersectionality and prejudice) and the upcoming week of presentations for Crime Week.

The Lunchbox Interview: Jennifer Lee Wiebe (Abstracts 1-12)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Sometimes, things have to be broken down to their essential bits in order to really understand them — even if it doesn’t reflect anything recognizable.

My guest today is abstract artist Jennifer Lee Wiebe. Her most recent exhibition, Abstracts 1-12, opens this week on Friday, May 25 at 5pm at the UNB Art Centre. She joins me to talk about her appreciation of abstract art, her hoarding of paint-by-number artwork, and how those things came together to make this exhibition.

The Lunchbox Interview: Les B’Old Hags

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

We spend so much of our lives getting older — shouldn’t we enjoy it when we make it there?

My guests today are Margaret (Patricia Eaton), Patricia (Winans), Jaclyn (LeBlanc) and Diane (Ryan), members of an art collective called Les B’Old Hags. They have a multi-media exhibition coming to the UNB Art Centre on May 25, and join me to talk about the motivations of age for art, their themes in the exhibition (ranging from emptiness to humour) and how we need to appreciate and enjoy life more and more as we get older.

Overtime with K and Crox (05-11-18)

Posted on by Posted in Overtime

Johnny James continues to join me in studio to help us break down the continuing Stanley Cup Playoffs.  Yes, just me, because Sean had to go get a “job”… in Moncton.

In addition we discuss our feelings about Dwayne Casey, who we firmly believe shouldn’t be fired.  (Note:  He was fired after airing, all 3 of us agree it’s a stupid decision)

We also talk about how Canadian Tennis is relevant again.

All this and all the hot takes you can handle on Overtime!
