The Lunchbox Interview: Brandon Hicks on NFTC’s Live Audio Theatre Workshop

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-NFTC-LiveAudioTheatreWorkshopI love drama: on-stage, on audio, on the radio, in a book.

But what about crossing these forms?

The Next Folding Theatre Company prides itself on pushing boundaries and trying new things, as well as giving new playwrights a chance to get their work produced. My guest today is Brandon Hicks, the producer of the upcoming Live Audio Theatre Workshop. We talked about the compression of this three-times-a-year production into a single night, the process of working through the plays, and a description of the two known plays along with a hint at the surprise third production for the night.

Attend the Live Audio theatre Workshop at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre on Wednesday, February 11. The show starts precisely at 7pm, so don’t be late! And you ticket will also qualify you for a free beverage or two, so enjoy the bonus!

Donair Kitchen Party Radio Show – Episode 1

Posted on by Posted in Donair Kitchen Party Radio Show

2015-02-10 10.24.01

The inaugural episode of Donair Kitchen Party Radio Show with Hank Svec and Mike Nason! Tune in to hear their theories on proper mastication of your favourite regional mystery meat delivered via at least some kind of bread-tube with a sauce that is polarizing at least until the Stockholm Syndrome kicks in! Mike and Hank are as sweet on Donairs as Donairs are on you.

This first episode featured songs on love and loss and how, ultimately, donairs represent a spectrum of emotions. It also featured prominent themes of Maritime alienation and longing. Featured artists included: Yo La Tengo, Best Coast, Al Tuck, The Bicycles, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Cuff the Duke, Fountains of Wayne, Deerhoof, and Ron Hynes!

In The Know Episode 6

Posted on by Posted in In The Know

In the Know.jpgManufactures seem to be making their products last shorter amounts of time these days in Canada. A woman buys an I-Phone 5, and only 1 year later, her phone is slow and her charger is broken, but fret not! All she has to do is upgrade to the I-phone 6 to get a new charger!!!! A man finances a Dodge Charger, and only 4 months later, his “Check Engine Light” comes on, and some unexpected electrical fixes need looking at, so the Chrysler Dealership “takes care of it” just like the Mafia does, because we  all know: ITS JUST BUSINESS, forget about it!

This is the “Buy It Then Try It” forum In The Know. Travis Twitter is an Economist teaching at Saint Thomas University right here in Fredericton, the city where nothing ever happens, Lol. He is an expert, and the issue of “Planned Obsolescence”, the process where manufactures deliberately make their products last a short amount of time so we, the good obedient sheep, the consumers, get the latest upgrade sooner than we did in the 1980’s.

Of course, those awesome commercials, soon to be on This Hour Has 22 Minutes will have you chuckling, and an amazing parody song based off of “Oh Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison will have you asking more questions about “Planned Obsolescence” instead of “hearing all the answers” on those other shows!

Enjoy, uh! It’s Joe Canadian, eh!

The Lunchbox: Interview: Fossil Free UNB

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-FossilFreeUNBThere’s no denying that fossil fuels play a big part of just about everybody’s life — but it is too big a part?

There is a growing movement to stop supporting the fossil fuel industry, at the very least until the industry cleans up its act, but also to promote alternative fuels.

My guests today are Richelle and Avi from Fossil Free UNB, a group on campus affiliated with the international 350.org. They’re calling for UNB to divest it’s financial investments in the fossil fuel industry, and re-invest those monies into other fields, such as renewable energy. We talked about the reasons to divest, the challenges of this message, and their event coming up on Thursday night.

Music today:

  • Golden Dogs present Decided from their new album, 3 1/2;
  • And relating (somewhat) to our guests, check out the lyrics of Cold Black River by Sleepy Driver from their album Ignatius.

The Lunchbox: Telling stories with Passages Canada

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-PassagesCanadaWhere do you keep your stories?

Most people would point to something written down, journals or diaries or books, but I suspect that where your stories are really kept are in two, connected places: your head, and your things.

Look around you: there are likely things that tell your stories in any place you inhabit for a while. From the mug given to you by co-workers, to the photographs of family, to the little nicknacks or even receipts that commemorate moments in your life.

My guest today was Maddy Macnab, the Program Officer of Passages Canada. They are holding a storytelling event on Monday, from 5:30 PM to 7:45 PM, at the Fredericton Intercultural Centre in the Wellness Centre at 28 Saunders St. (You may know it as the old YMCA building.)

We talked about how the program began, some of Maddy’s most memorable story experiences with the program, and the impact and power of the smallest of items in the most touching of stories.

Music today, largely inspired by the fact that it’s Weatherman’s Day:

  • I simply had to play The Weatherman, Pt 2 by Alert the Medic, from their We The Weapon album;
  • In honour of the objects which bring memories and stories, I played Photograph by Blood and Glass, from their new album Museum With No Walls;
  • And a final song, again tying in to the celebration, I played Dead Sara‘s Weatherman, from their self-titled album.
