Time to talk with another rock journo compatriot of mine, Jason Schneider. You might know him as co-author of the legendary rock epic Have Not Been The Same (with Ian A.D. Jack and Michael Barclay). He's here to talk about his latest, That Gun in Your Hand: The Strange Saga of 'Hey Joe' and Popular Music's History of Violence.

Joining Jim on the episode is Dorianne Emmerton, here to talk about the Brockton Writers Series. They, like everyone else, are facing funding issues, and you can help out at the link above.
Hey folks! Got to drive right into my wheelhouse (wait, is that how the idiom works?) and talk to some fellow music journalists again. Today we feature Matt Bobkin and Adam Feibel, discussing their book In Too Deep: When Canadian Punks Took Over The World. It features everyone from Avril to Alexisonfire (and other non-A-related artists). Enjoy!
Hey all! This week we talk to my pal (and friend of the show) Mark Sampson, who surprised me with the cosmic horror darkness of Lowfield. Check it out, and listen to our conversation on GET LIT!
Hey folks! This week we speak to author Danny Jacobs about his novel The Ignis Psalter. I called it "horror-adjacent" but it's also been called "part lyric fairy tale, part small town gothic." Listen in.

Hey folks! I'm still hiding out in Toronto. Well, that's not true. I'm cat-sitting for a friend (who's been on the show, but that's the only clue I'll give) and visiting with folks I haven't seen in a long while. In the days, though, I'm writing, working on turning a manuscript from junk into gold. So far we're at bronze, which ain't such bad progress. Today's show is with author Giles Blunt, who many know from his John Cardinal crime series. We discuss his latest book, Bad Juliet.
Hey folks! Today we're joined by author Blaine Newton as we discuss his collection of short stories, Rag Pickers. Good stuff. Enjoy!

Hey folks! Grandfather of the Treaties: Finding Our Future Through the Wampum Covenant is a fascinating and important book.

I chat with author Daniel Coleman and illustrator Rick Hill about it. Enjoy the show!
