The Lunchbox Interview: Shelley Petit (NBCPD)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

We all have needs, but sometimes we need to band with others to make those needs known.

My guest today is Shelley Petit, the Chair of the New Brunswick Coalition of Persons With Disabilities (NBCPD), an advocacy organization looking to provide a voice to represent those with disabilities. Their goal is “to achieve a New Brunswick where people with disabilities would all have access to an adequate standard of living, have access to suitable supports to be able to fully and equally participate in society”.

Shelley joins me to talk about the origins of the organization, some of the challenges and opportunities facing NBCPD, and some immediate concerns and awareness that they are trying to raise.

The Lunchbox Interview: Don Hannah (Playwright, “Resident Aliens”)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Some events we recognize as important when they happen; others can only be realized long after, upon reflection.

My guest today is Don Hannah, a Canadian playwright behind the new play Resident Aliens. He joins me live in studio to chat about the factual origins of one part of this play — the remarkable travel of New Brunswicker Vivian Larsen in 1959 — and the fictional but realistic origins of the other part of this play, as a character looking back on a lifetime. We also talk about writing, exploring New Brunswick stories and being a playwright.

Resident Aliens premieres at TNB’s Open Space Theatre on March 22, and runs nightly until March 25, with a matinee performance on March 26. After that, it goes on tour across the province to six other locations.

Testing For Echo – Episode 19 – Another Home Run – Orig. Air Date March 4, 2023

Posted on by Posted in General, Testing For Echo

Hello everyone.

Welcome to Episode 19 of Testing For Echo on CHSR 97.9 in Fredericton and around the world. I’m your host Tim Scammell.

It’s my feeling that the best episodes are the ones that go all over the place and keep listeners guessing.

Sure, I’m talking about the heavy/light mix but also the mix of eras.

In this episode I have everything from the 1970’s right up to the present.

I understand that this is impossible, but if you could get all of these bands together to play a festival it would be a home run.

Just press that little arrow down the left of the page to listen/download the podcast. 

Take good care and enjoy!

Tim
