My guest today is Ann Manuel, a visual artist participating in the World Water Day art installation celebrated by the UNB Arts Centre. This years theme is Reflections, and Ann has chosen a painting of a pond very near and dear to her heart. This painting shows a realistic down-facing view, showing the reflections on the surface of the water as well as the translucence, revealing multiple levels of interest. Ann joins me to talk about what water has meant to her, and how this pond became a focus for some of her visual exploration.

RFYL Episode – RiderRideEP251

Well, except when I lost my voice, but that was a whole different problem that nobody wanted to hear broadcasted. Or, maybe they did, who am I to judge.
Anyway, there’s some new releases this week! Check out the playlist below and download the podcast to blare it super loud and annoy everyone around you. Or maybe educate them on some stellar tracks. Do it.

The Lunchbox Interview: Shelley Petit (NBCPD)
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”)
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.
