The Lunchbox Interview: Lisa Steven (Harvey Bonspiel)
There’s something uniquely Canadian about a sport that requires ice to play, and that we often build indoor ice to make sure it happens.
Add a rock and broom, and you’ve got curling!
My guest today is Lisa Steven, a long-time curler in Harvey and volunteer organizer with the upcoming Harvey Curling Club’s Annual Sheeler Bonspiel. She joins me to talk details about curling, about how she’s played since she was 12, and how much support this annual event gives to families dealing with cancer.
Music today:
- We began a clean sweep of curling with Your House, from the album Proof of Life by Coyote.
- One thing to avoid is an unresponsive gripper, or as Smokes puts it (from their album Zone Eater): a Dead Hand.
- And I want everyone to enjoy their weekend: from Fortunate Ones, the title track of The Bliss.

The Lunchbox Interview: Ryan Gaio & Naomi K Lewis (Qwerty Reads) [FULL SHOW]
Words are music, stories are songs, books are albums..
So why shouldn’t a reading also have a band?
My guests today are both involved in a reading-with-a-difference coming up this evening, at 7pm at The Wilser’s Room: Qwerty Reads, brought by the UNB-student-run Qwerty Magazine. Ryan Gaio is a first-year creative writing student at UNB and reader for Qwerty Magazine, and helped organize the event. Naomi K. Lewis is the current UNB Writer-in-Residence and author who will be doing a reading at the show tonight. We talked about creative writing at UNB, what a Writer-in-Residence really does, and about Qwerty Magazine.
Music today:
- Tomato Tomato told us to Toss It All Away (by which, I assume they mean baggage..)
- The Do Good Badlies slyly told us the opposite of the song’s title in Fear The Change (from Electric Nights).
- And finally, we decide to just Let It Go by Earthbound Trio, as heard on the compilation It’s Always Sunny In New Brunswick.

Street Fighter 5 Review
Street Fighter 5 Review
The Beloved action arcade fighter franchise is back on the new generation consoles. Does it deliver the punch it always as or does it get knocked out of the tournament? Let’s find out.
When I first picked up this game I did not know what to expect. I had not played a Street Fighter game in a very long time. As soon as I started playing I remembered why I loved the franchise and why I loved fighting games. Before I knew it hours had passed of me throwing fire balls and windmill kicks and it had only felt like twenty minutes. With some new additions to the game such as characters who were amazing and fun to use it made the game feel so much better to play. Trying to master all the special moves of each character was a challenge and extremely fun to do. It’s something I have never tried to do in a video game before I had a blast doing it. The modes were great too such as story it gave you about three or four fights with each character. You got a comic like story to go along with the character and how they reached this certain point in their story. There is also Survival which is great with different skill sets and after each match you can buy certain elements to improve your health for your next match or make your attacks and defense much stronger during this mode I made it to match number 25 in this mode. There is also the classic VS mode where you pick up two controllers and fight against your friends. The only mode this game did not have that I was disappointed in that did not have an arcade mode.
Conclusion: This game is amazing, Fun and reminds me why I love fighting games. The art style, arenas and characters are all fantastic so I thank Capcom and Play station for bringing me back to this franchise and making me love fighters again.
Score 9/10 A MUST BUY!!

The Lunchbox Interview: Jean Surette, Music NB Workshop [FULL EPISODE]
Did you know that you can do what you love, and that money will follow?
It’s possible — but you still have to treat it like a job. You have to take it seriously, and you have to include within your passion the forms to fill out, research to be done, and time on the administration side.
This is part of what will be discussed at an upcoming workshop being presented by Music NB, entitled “Do What You Love And The Money Will Follow”. The workshop will be held at Cafe Loka on Wednesday, February 17th from 7pm until 9pm.
My guest today is Jean Surette, the Executive Director of Music NB. We talked about Music NB in general and how he came to be involved (from drummer to executive!), as well as some of the pitfalls, concerns and necessary tasks to making your music your job that will be tackled in the upcoming workshop.
Music today:
- Because it’s so cold, I felt an antidote was in order, so I chose Caliente by Stephen Lewis from his album Life Is A Garden.
- Then, it was the power of music with Emotional from Beat Cops, off their new album Mean Streets.
- And finally, because we’ll need to get over the weather, I chose AA Wallace‘s Shake It Out from the brand-new album In Alpha Zones.

STU Lunchbox 2016-02-10: Provincial Budget and Economy
Money may not buy happiness, but it does make the world move — but how much does the world need to move the money?
On the first of the new season of the STU Lunchbox, journalism students Nathan Delong and David Bardwell follow the money: in the first half, they examine the recent NB provincial budget, and it’s impacts for post-secondary education; and in the second half, they look at the New Brunswick economy, and it’s reflection on the environment.
