  • Reviews of Avenue of Champions by Connor Kerr & Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey: Stories with Lessons
    Feb 7 2025

    Métis history, generational pain, and the lies of reconciliation—Avenue of Champions doesn’t hold back. Jacob breaks down Connor Kerr’s powerful reality checks on Indigenous truths, before Ramya dives into Greenlights, where Matthew McConaughey’s larger-than-life personality takes us on a ride through Hollywood games, questionable family ties, and McConaughey’s over-the-top poetic philosophy of “catching greenlights.”

  • Behind the Microphone of an Audiobook Narrator: Get to Know Simon Mattacks
    Feb 5 2025

    Audiobook narration: is it pure performance or a faithful reading of the text? We get into it with Simon Mattacks, a narrator who’s voiced more than 100 books (including some for Ann Cleeves fans). He shares how he approaches characters and accents, whether it’s just a performance or if there’s more to connecting with the listener, and of course we get into his own takes on the listening experience of audiobooks.

  • Book Bans, Free Speech, and The Potential Power of Literature
    Jan 31 2025

    Book bans are back in the spotlight after The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill was pulled from the London, Ontario Catholic School Board. The novel, which confronts the history of slavery and racial injustice, has faced controversy over its unflinching portrayal of difficult themes. Kelly MacDonald is here to explore the censorship debate, the role of literature in education, and what it means for authors, educators, and readers.
