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

On the show:

  • It was pretty simple on Thursday (for once): it was just Filet Mignon Day. (And probably something else for vegetarians.)
  • 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.
  • And the short film The Beautifully Drowned by Jon Dewar won several awards, but before it was even done, I caught up with him in 2016 to talk about what was going into it.

News updates:

  • New Brunswick Public Health reported one new case of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
  • A proposal by Premier Blaine Higgs to avoid a potential snap election will be front and center again today in Fredericton.
  • Education Minister Dominic Cardy begins his return to school briefings today.
