The Lunchbox Interview: Made Them Lions
Some people discover their talents and their passions late in life, after searching. Others are practically born into it.
My guests today are in the latter category. Friends since kindergarden, bandmates for 8 years, Matt and Mike are two members of the Montreal pop/rock/reggae band Made Them Lions. They’re planning a cross-country tour this year following the release of their second CD, and stopped in to talk about the past, present and future of the group.
(As an aside: I asked a clumsy question comparing them to a “boy band”. It was meant more to highlight the phenomenon of pop stars and ask about what part image has to play, especially now that they have signed with a label. It was poorly worded, and wasn’t meant in a disparaging way. I apologize if it comes out negatively.)
Music today:
- We have snow in the forecast again… Who’d A Thought? seems like the appropriate response, especially coming from The Real MacKenzies. Taken from their most recent album, Rats In The Burlap.
- Although I didn’t interview them today, Fossil Cliffs will be appearing in interview form on Monday, and just played a show at the Capital. From their self-titled debut, here’s a hopeful turn for the weather: Summer Sun.
- And from their brand-new, self-titled, second album, we hear another weather-appropriate song: Tidal Wave, from my guests Made Them Lions.

The Lunchbox Interview: Thomas Morgan Jones (TNB) & Alison Howells (UNB Leisure Learning)
The more you know, the more you become aware of the universe around you. It is a way to appreciate things, and to never be bored.
This summer is going to be anything but boring, if my guests today are any indication! My first guest is Thomas Morgan Jones, the new Artistic Director at TNB. His enthusiasm for theatre is palpable, and we had a great time talking about the thematic setting that an Artistic Director is involved with, as well as talking about the great opportunities to learn more about the artistic expression of acting which he will have the chance to share with interested parties in an upcoming workshop.
The big announcement of the season will be coming up next week, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for it to share with you.
My second guest today is Alison Howells, the Program Development Officer at UNB responsible for managing the Leisure Learning courses and the summer Design Works Camps for Kids. We talk about the many wonderful opportunities people have to learn during these summer workshops, and tease a little about the upcoming Design Works camps.
Music today:
- It is a good Spring reminder to get involved in as many things as possible, so we heard No Plan B from the album of the same name by Sieraslave.
- A groovy second piece followed my interview with TNB’s new Artistic Director, so we heard from Elephant Skeletons‘s album Volume III with the song Rubies & Jewelry.
- And to introduce my second guest, we heard from Revenge of the Trees with the song Workin’ from the album Into The Night.

11pm. Nope! Coming to 10pm! - Something To Do With Bats has come to an end for the season. However, its host is transferring over to the punk show!
Friday:

- Brand new music show De-Railed starts up this Friday at 2pm.

The Lunchbox Interview: Kim Lawrence of Real Food Connections
Where does your food come from? Can you honestly say that you could even find out?
There’s a huge interest — and action! — in eating local. That means you not only have some transparency in where your food comes from, but you can be assured that it comes from a farmer or producer not that far from you.
Combine that with more conscientiously-produced food, lower reliance on pesticides and chemicals, and suddenly, the food tastes better!
My guest today is Kim Lawrence, one of the co-owners of Real Food Connections. This family-run business is quickly bridging the gap between local food producers and local food consumers, stimulating interest and awareness (as well as a lot of good eatin’!) in making a diet of good food produced in your backyard. We talk about where Real Food Connections comes from, what it has grown into and plans for the future!
Music today:
- Double Experience are coming to town this week, so I pulled out Congratulations on Second Place from 721835.
- As a consolation prize, you have me! From Ken Tizzard‘s latest album, No Dark No Light, we hear I Got You.
- And trying to make a connection to the new kitchen, I played Chop On Through by Jon McKiel, from his self-titled album..
