Book talk

Bernadette Rule (writer, editor, host of Artwaves on Mohawk College Radio) recorded our morning conversation. It will be played on The Hawk, 101.5 FM this Sunday, July 5th, 7-8 p.m. It was wonderful to talk with her about Pam Will, Tina Van Beveren, 541 Eatery & Exchange, King West Books, and the poetry I published when I was a child. Busy Sunday? Click here to listen any time!

Next comes a discussion of books, movies, and eventually podcasts, the contemporary disruption to traditional radio, both of which enamour me. Pam is patient with my enthusiastic reviews of recent downloads even when I can't recall significant details like the last name of the program's host. She is less patient with recent technology as it tiptoes in, armed with distractions to resist and devices to recharge. She taught high school and knows that it can do to the adolescent brain. p. 8-9
