Welcome to 2023! Happy New Year. Time to dust off the old podcast and get back to having more interviews. Tonight I had a call with Clifford Russell from William's Harbour. He talks about growing up on the Labrador and making a living off the land. Enjoy!!
Today I had a lovely chat with Dave Bradley, a Labradorian who grew up in Indian Cove. We talk about life as it was and life as it is now. Thank you so much Dave. It was a great start to my day!!
This is a first for me! Tonight is the first time I did a podcast with someone I never met before. I had a chance to talk with Desmond Canning about our shared heritage. Desmond is fortunate to have shared in some rich oral histories and has a deep knowledge of Indigenous People of Labrador. Thank you Desmond for taking some time with me tonight.
Last week I had a yarn with Bob Richards. Bob lives in Goose Bay and spent some time out on the coast of Labrador.
Mom. Don't listen. We swear a lot. Tonight's Episode features Jason Howard, a friend of mine from Bell Island, Newfoundland. He plays in a band called Poverty's Arse. We talk about what it was like growing up on Bell Island and, really, while away the time. Before we knew it we were talking for an hour! Thanks Jason!
