The Lunchbox Interview: Billie Joe Steever (Gender HUMAN Rights Protest)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox 1 Comment

We all go through life trying to figure out who we are; sometimes, the world seems to get in the way of that.

My guest today is Billie Joe Steever, who is fighting to have her gender identity recognized properly. She shares the story of her journey of self-discovery and troubles that she underwent getting support, both medical, personal and political.

Billie is holding a protest on April 9th at noon in front of the Legislature, to call attention to her situation and seek to resolve it for herself, and for others who might be going through a similar difficulty.

AQ Radio – Episode 7

Posted on by Posted in AQ Radio, General

In the seventh episode of AQ Radio, if you missed the annual lecture in journalism that was held March 21 at St. Thomas University, don’t worry, we have you covered. We’ll have a chat with an AQ panel and dive into journalist and Trump fact checker Daniel Dale’s central message.

After that, we’ll have a conversation with the Features Editor Lauren Hoyt about the anti-vaccination memes you see on a daily basis on social media. We’ll find out where the anti-vaxx movement came from, and what some STU students and professors are saying about it.

And there’s less than one month left until the class of 2019 says farewell to STU. So, we’ll hear from some fourth-year students about what their plans are for after graduation.

We’ll also listen to some music and hear about some upcoming events at STU.

HitG 013: Dynamic Combat

Posted on by Posted in Head In The Game

What does a combat look like? Is it two people standing stock still, swinging swords like some sort of prehistoric 2-bit video game, or is it moving all over the place, jumping for the chandelier, carving a Z into a doublet, leaping off the table to balance onto a chair while parrying three knights?

In this episode, we’re looking at making combat more dynamic.

Featuring: Mark, Don, Anita, Chris

The Lunchbox Interview: TUNB’s “The Country Wife”

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Our view of history is often wrong, and sometimes it’s important to remember that in the most conservative of times, people were still having — and conspiring about — sex.

My guests today are Len Falkenstein (Director of Drama, UNB; aka “Grand Poobah of Theatre in Fredericton”) and two actors, Kate (“Mrs. Fidget”) and Bhavrya (“Mr. Fidget”), from the upcoming Theatre UNB staging of The Country Wife. They join me to talk about the surprising sexual comedy of the Restoration period, how everything is a double-entendre in this play, and about being aware of timing precisely for another character’s aside.

The Country Wife is Theatre UNB’s final production of the season. It opens April 3, and runs until April 6, on stage at Memorial Hall at UNB each night at 7:30pm.

The Lunchbox Interview: SCP’s The Coop presents The Despot

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Take any historical or contemporary public figure and ask yourself not necessarily what they would say, but how would they move?

My guests today are Lesandra Dodson (Solo Chicken Productions) and Sydney Hallet (actor) who have been working with numerous students at STU to create a new physical production called The Despot. They join me to talk about the initial creation of this unique interpretation of public figures, and how it has evolved from a wild idea to something that fits on a stage.

The Despot runs just two nights, on April 5 and 6 at 7:30pm, staged at the Black Box Theatre at STU.

The Lunchbox: Budget Season (w/ Jared Durelle)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

A budget is really less of a statement of money, and more of a statement of ideas — and the desire to do specific things.

My guest today is Jared Durelle, local reporter, who helps us digest and interpret both the Provincial budget in the context of a minority government, and the Federal budget in the context of a majority government — in both cases, addressing a precarious political forecast.
