We kick off things off with the incredible Phyllis Webstad, whose poignant journey from a childhood experience with an orange shirt has sparked a nationwide movement. Today, we delve into her new children's book, "Every Child Matters," a testament to the resilience of Indigenous communities and the importance of understanding our shared history.
Heather Dixon transports us into the world of suspense with her novel, "Burlington." A tale that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat, Heather's keen observations on suburban life and its secrets are not to be missed.
Anne Brodie is back, fresh from the whirlwind that is TIFF, and she's brought with her a selection of cinematic gems. First up, we have "Stellar," starring the captivating Elle Maija-Tailfeathers. We then move on to a surprising addition in my view, as Anne introduces us to "Supermodels" on Apple TV+, featuring iconic names like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington. I thought it would be a vapid doc, but Anne say that isn’t so. You’ll want to stick around to find out why.
Then you’ll have to brace yourselves for a dose of humour and wit as I chat with the incomparable Brittlestar. His new book, "Welcome To the Stupidpocalypse," offers a hilarious take on life, politics, and the quirks of our oh so special times. And yes, there's a Ryan Reynolds endorsement, but we're here for Brittlestar's unique brand of humour!
For those of us who've been feeling the financial pinch, and yes that’s pretty much all of us, Janet Gray is here to offer some sage advice. As a seasoned money coach, Janet's insights into financial planning and money management are both timely and invaluable.
Lastly, we dive into the world of young adult literature with Emily Pohl-Weary. Her upcoming novel, "How to Be Found," promises a gripping tale of love, loss, and the ties that bind us.
