The Lunchbox 2020-08-13: Waiting For The Humours To Dry

- Lainie B from Monday Night’s B Street has another instalment of Positive Songs For Pandemics with The Arkells and Frank Turner’s song Hand Me Down.
- While we do hear The Grey by Kill Chicago, I mistakenly identified the interview. It was with Carter Chase, a sculptor who was in the Barracks as an Artist-in-Residence in 2016.

- I caught up with musician, composer, cellist, and experimental music creator Emily Kennedy this week. She’s listening to nature and turning that into music manipulated by a computer for her artist-in-residence this year at Odell Park.
- And I decided I was fed up with the heat, so I pull out my 2015 interview with John McIntyre about his book about chillier times, Deep Freeze.
News Update:

The Lunchbox 2020-08-11: Go With The Flow
On the show:
- I don’t think I got the chance to mention that it was Play In The Sand Day, but if I know you, I’m sure you got it anyway. (If I don’t know you, I may be wrong.)
- Since it’s Water Quality Month, I felt it was a good idea to revisit my chat with Jared Durelle from last summer, when he spent time with the Nova Scotia Grandmother Waterkeepers. He shares his first-hand experience of the tension and fight to keep water protected from resource exploitation.
- During the discussion, Jared requested a moment of silence for contemplation and respect. Unfortunately, on the replay, I needed to have some sound there, so I substituted a little natural sound:
-
- “Bird Song” recording from Fresound.org made by user johnaudiotech, and used under the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution Licence
