(Old feed) Shedunnit Book Club — Seasoned DetectivesAudiobook: A Terribly Strange Bed by Wilkie CollinsWelcome to your audiobook for March 2024. The book club’s theme for March is Pre-GAD, meaning detective fiction published prior to 1920. The short list voting poll closed with EC Bentley’s Trent’s Last Case taking first place, but Wilkie Collins’s novel, The Moonstone, still received 25% of the casted votes. Therefore, I thought it would be fitting to select a Wilkie Collins short story for this month’s audiobook. In this 19th-century tale, an Englishman visits a gambling-house in Paris and finds his luck unexpectedly change. Before I begin reading this short story, can you figure out what t...2024-03-0139 min

Trial School Top ShelfEpisode 6: The Fall of the House of Zeus with Curtis WilkieThe Fall of the House of Zeus tells the story of Dickie Scruggs, arguably the most successful plaintiff’s lawyer in America. A brother-in-law of Trent Lott, the former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Scruggs made a fortune taking on mass tort lawsuits against “Big Tobacco” and the asbestos industries. He was hailed by Newsweek as a latter-day Robin Hood, and portrayed in the movie, The Insider, as a dapper aviator-lawyer. Scruggs’ legal triumphs rewarded him lavishly, and his success emboldened both his career maneuvering and his influence in Southern politics–but at a terrible cost, culminating in his spectacula...2022-05-031h 16

Seen and Heard in EdmontonEpisode 41: Jess HoltMeet Jess Holt, the wry wit and graphic designer by trade who offers a raw, insightful look at life as the mother of twins on Grace and Champ. Jess started the blog as a way to connect with adults after emerging from the first-year fog of somewhat unexpected parenthood, multiplied by 2. “I didn’t want it to be just about parenting, but it turns out that’s all I do,” she says. You don’t get tips from Jess, nor do you get a candy-coated celebration of the joys of motherhood.

The Unknown StudioFriends Without Benefits | S06E08NOTE: we had some recording equipment issues, which resulted in less-than-awesome sound for our interview. We fixed it up as best we could. Our apologies to our guests and you, our listeners.
Scott sat down with... well, me. And also Trent Wilkie and Andrea Beça from Friends Without Benefits, a new sketch comedy group we've formed. I'm not going to talk to much about how awesome we are (which is very), and I'll let the [low-sound-quality] episode speak for itself.
Our show launches tomorrow, January 29. Check out the trailer!2015-01-2800 minI Don't Get ItSeason 2 Episode 4We invite Trent Wilkie into the blanket fort to discuss Alberta Ballet‘s Don Quixote and the opening of BWDC‘s season with Toronto Dance Theatre‘s fascinating Eleven Accords. (Also we learn that Fawnda has no idea how to describe time signatures — especially in Steve Reich music.)
