RFYL Episode – AliveEP091
On this week’s episode we actually manage to go LIVE in the hotseat, which is awesome. We revisit the times of YESTERYEAR by doing the exact same thing we used to, including rambling, yelling randomly and otherwise playing music for 89% of the episode.
If it’s not actually 89% I apologize profusely. I won’t change my behaviour but still, the thought counts, right? That was not a politically-charged comment at all.
ANYWAY ENJOY THE MUSIC SEE YOU NEXT WEEK (EVEN IF IT’S AUDIO ONLY)

The Lunchbox Interview: Theatre UNB’s Never Swim Alone
It is not so much that you know the content of the play, but the character of it which will drive you to your seat..
My guests today are Alexe LaPointe (Director), Maria Ingrahm (Co-Director, Stage Manager) and Bhavya (Actor) from the upcoming Theatre UNB production of Never Swim Alone. Listen as they dodge specific questions about the play (keeping you in…. SUSPENSE!), but talk about their experiences putting their interpretation of this play together.
Never Swim Alone opens on October 24 at Memorial Hall on UNB Campus, and runs nightly until October 26.

HitG 028: Advice for New GMs, Part 1
Everyone has to start somewhere. And just about every game needs someone to referee the rules and run the setting, or establish plot lines and play the NPCs.
In this episode, we bring together the gang to share advice for people just starting on the path toward one of the most challenging, rewarding, creative, stress-inducing, thrilling, exciting, complicated and very, very fun parts of games.
We start at the beginning, with resources to look out for, some of the things that you need to think about when you are bring a group together, all the way up that first session — which is in the next episode.

The Lunchbox Interview: Natasha MacLellan (TNB’s 1979)
Most people think of history — especially recent history — as something you read in a dry book, but it can be brought to life, interpreted as a living, breathing theatrical performance.
My guest today is Natasha MacLellan, the Artistic Director of Theatre New Brunswick and director of the upcoming political comedy production, 1979. Natasha joins me to talk about staging something right out of Canadian history, but transformed into a play.
1979 opens October 16 and runs for two weeks at TNB’s Open Space Theatre (55 Whiting Rd) before setting out on a cross-province tour.

The Lunchbox Interview: Kelly McAllister (Spearhead Theatre’s 24HR SHT Show)
Pressure has amazing effects on creativity, forcing you to trust your instincts and discard doubt and distractions to press forward; it is a terrifying, inspiring, motivating rush!
My guest today is Kelly McAllister, founder of the latest theatre company in Fredericton, Spearhead Theatre. After their inaugural production of Agnes of God back in September, they are now looking forward to challenging theatre of an entirely different kind: the 1st Annual 24-hour SHT Show theatre challenge. Kelly joins me to talk about the founding of her own theatre company, the desire for a short-turnaround theatre contest, and where she hopes Spearhead fits into the local theatre scene.
The 24-hour theatre contest is being held on the last weekend in November. You must sign up by November 22 to participate, and you can sign up as an individual (and be added to a team). See the Facebook event for more details.

HitG 027: Player Communication and Social Contracts
Sometimes, people take it for granted that they know how to communicate with each other. In reality, however, we often end up in avoidable conflicts or mistaken offences due to misunderstandings, many of which are accidental or born of ignorance rather than malice.
In this episode, we talk about setting up a common ground between players and the GM, establishing and maintaining good communication and respected each other to make running a fun game easier.
