Ep 309 - Hélène Barbier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For this episode I interview Hélène Barbier, an avant-pop musician based out of Montreal. I reached her in advance of her Friday show at “Rats Nest” in Toronto, a show that kicks of a huge North American and European tour. We talk about the origins of her path through music, teaching herself bass alongside other friends new to their instruments, and how that has expanded and changed since the realities of people moving away, a pandemic, and a diagnosis that may change her the future playing inst

Read excerpt
For this episode I interview Eleanor Burchill, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen . This interview took place over two visits, the first on her 101st birthday, and the second a week or so later. Her daughter joins us in the first half too. We talk about her love of Newfoundland, having been born there, about her schooling and then career in nursing, stories from the war era, and her journey raising her daughters essentially as a single mom. It's always neat to hear from people who have
