Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

Yes, we’re back yet again with an episode to help get you through the tail end of a week. I often try to consider what I can possibly say at this point that is equal parts sarcastic as it is motivational, and I can only say that the one thing getting me through this week is randomly passing out after work. Not in a narcoleptic sense but more of a “I give up” sense.

Anyway, we’ve some solid entries in today’s show so let’s just get right to it, shall we?

Playlist:
Wild Fires – The JB Conspiracy
Pretty Little Broken Thing – The Standstills
Blood Blood Blood – The Creepshow
Cured Me’a That – We Should’ve Been Plumbers
Misery Loves Company – Blood Red Shoes
The Ones Below / To War – Osyron

The Lunchbox Interview: Matt & Jason (Fortune of Wolves)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox
Lunchbox logo

Local playwright Ryan Griffith is well known for combing familiar, local culture and people with stories that are often bizarre, occult or just downright unsettling. My guests today are Matt Carter (co-producer) and Jason McIntyre (the voice of “Lowell”) from the audio drama production of Griffith’s massive play, Fortune of Wolves.

We talk about how this all came to be, how it’s still unfolding, and how Griffith has yet again brought both the familiar and the peculiar to life, this time with a cast of over 60.

Fortune of Wolves is produced by Big Noise Audio Collective, and is being released as a podcast weekly on Fridays. As of this post, there are 8 episodes released, with a half-dozen to remain. Find it on your podcast directly of choice, or find it on the Theatre NB website.

Listen and enjoy!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

It feels like it was four hundred thousand years ago that time jumped ahead, but that might just be due to the fact that the only thing keeping me going is too much caffeine and the need to pay rent. It’s a weird thing.

Anyway, we’re going to shake this progress tree at it’s roots by giving you tunes that speed you up, slow you down and make you think, then stop all that nonsense to speed things back up again. That’s just the kind of person I am. You’re welcome.

Thanks for listening.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

Here we are again, a brief wander through March has led us to yet another Friday where we pretend that there’s no such thing as taxes or Second Spring or Weird Winter or being able to buy gas or pay rent or – okay, I’ve gone too far.

What I’m trying to say is at least the sound track for the week has culminated to this point. We have new stuff, “old”er stuff, and it’s all just solid auditory stuff, in which it is solid by means of good and not solid as in … a brick or something.

I don’t know what I’m talking about. Never ask me anything.

Playlist:

Seven Bells – Ian Blurton
Daughters of the Sun – The Dreadnoughts
Pretty Little Broken Thing – The Standstills
Kinesis – Claemus
Interval – The Joy Formidable
The Wire – Kilmore
Warped – Motion Device
Groove is Black – Half Gramme of Soma
They All Fall Down – The Creepshow

Dr. Jennifer Russell
Dr. Jennifer Russell

Since the beginning of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Jennifer Russell has become a celebrity and a fixture within the lives of New Brunswick residents. In this interview with Dr. Russell, we delved into her background, the introduction of a new type of celebrity – the medical expert, and spoke about the effects of the current pandemic on the New Brunswick healthcare system and what we have learned about preventative measures for the future.

Dr. Jennifer Russell was born and raised in Bathurst, New Brunswick. She pursued studies in Music at Dalhousie University, followed by Science at UNB and Medicine at Memorial University. She finished with her Family Medicine Residency at Dalhousie University.

Dr. Russell spent 10-years serving as a Medical Officer in the Canadian Forces and did a short tour overseas to support the mission in Afghanistan at Camp Mirage in Dubai. After her last posting in Gagetown, New Brunswick, she worked in Addictions and Mental Health, did locums for Family Physicians and worked part-time as a Hospitalist.

Her Public Health career began in 2014. Dr. Russell has been able to use all her previous clinical experience to help inform and shape policy recommendations and decisions. Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, as Chief Medical Officer of Health, she has demonstrated great leadership and communication abilities and continues to work with her large team of colleagues and staff on the evolving COVID-19 response, always keeping in mind the social determinants of health.

She has a passion for upstream prevention and has provided input on approaches to substance use in youth, resulting in a new pilot project based on research in Iceland. She has worked on the opioid task force and the cannabis legalization working group. She has presented on the Public Health implications of Climate Change. Dr. Russell has taught classes at the medical school in Saint John and has been the keynote speaker at several events over the last two years, describing lessons learned in the pandemic and speaking about resiliency.

She is also the mother of two active teenagers and when time permits she writes music and sings, and plays the saxophone with two local bands. She loves to read and participates in two book clubs. She has received several awards of recognition, including the Paul Harris Fellow, and the Order of NB as well as honorary doctorates from Mount Allison University and Universite de Moncton.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

To say “I don’t know what I’m doing anymore” would suggest I knew what I was doing to begin with. Not that anyone asked, but if someone had told me 12~ years ago that my adventures of being a co-host meant I’d undertake the entire project and run with it, well.. I guess I’d be surprised that I dedicated myself that much to literally anything?

Anyway, someone’s out there enjoying the playlist, and as long as even one of you are digging what’s going on here, I’ll keep throwing it out there. Play it loud, enjoy it for what it is, and don’t notice that I’m naming my episodes off of a Word Of The Day calendar.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

It’s all starting to seem similar, isn’t it? We’ve already hit the point where it felt like my renaming scheme to help track my episodes better was done just a few episodes ago, and apparently that is not the case! Instead it was something like four years ago?

Anyway, nobody wants me to reminisce. They want me to play music, and that’s why we’re all here.

No prophecies and nothing insightful here. Though, one thing I was told that helped me keep my head up in some dark times is that the point of life is to enjoy it. Maybe that’ll do something for you.

Gimme Gimme – Dead Sara
Animal High – Sleep Machine
