Red Robinson or Sam Sullivan?

Two epic interviews took place today.

One, a broadcasting legend that needs no introduction: the ever astounding Mr. Red Rodinson.

The other, the lovely mayor of our fair city, Mr. Sam Sullivan.

Which one will air tomorrow at 3:05???

I'm taking votes...

D'Oh!!! Darren Blakeborough---The Sociology of the Simpsons.

Today on Making Contact: UCFV's incredibly articulate Darren Blakeborough, professor of the Sociology of the Simpson's.

Darren talks about how the show is not one to be dismissed, but is one that should be discussed as it can be viewed as a reflection of sorts on our culture.

Thanks Darren for joining me!

He was a punk before you were a punk...the one and only Chris Walter.

Local author Chris Walter, CEO and bottlewasher of GFY press, has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the underground literary world.

His novels are simple, yet complex, oft channelling Stienbeck and Buckowski.

His eclectic cast of lovable characters, and what a cast they are, are quirky and flawed, but undeniably human.

These elements combine to make Chris my all time favourite author.

I had the chance to sit down with Chris to disuss his life, his career, and Vancouver, particularly the DTES and the music.

Thanks again so much to Chris Walter!... more>

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO I HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH!

We hear alot about the safe injection site downtown but do we really know what goes on there or what impact it has on society? It's a controversial issue, but one that has many pros and cons. I went down to talk to the social issue managers of the site. I stayed away from the beauracratic side of things with Coastal Health and went to the down home people that take the mental state of these people using the facility into the question.
Check it out Friday, April 25th in the afternoon.
