Yes, today the guest is…me. Self-serving? Maybe. Sometimes you gotta do it. A while back, author and excellent fellow Mark Sampson approached me to suggest he interview me when River, Diverted was released. The result was very kind, thoughtful, illuminating and entertaining – for me, at least! I hope you think so too. River, Diverted was released Oct 1st! If you're in the Hamilton area, you can come on along to my launch party on Oct 12. It's at Mills Hardware (not a hardware store, despite the name!) 95 King St. E. at 7pm. I'll be joined by fellow Palimpsest authors David Ly, John Wall Barger, and Kim Conklin!
The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Supercrawl's opening day is today! What can we expect to see today and all weekend long? In a week that saw interest rates hiked, and the Prime Minister's cabinet promise to focus on affordability, we also learned that Canada's unemployment rate rose to 5.4% in August. How does this effect our households and our debt as a whole? As tributes roll in from all around the world in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Elton John paid tribute at his final stop in Toronto. Who else is putting forth their musical talents in Her Majesty's memory? CityNews has announced that it'll be carrying in-depth and extensive coverage of the legacy of the Queen in addition to the transition of power with the illustrious Lisa LaFlamme leading the charge from London as special correspondent. What does changing the workings on a municipal level do to provincial politics, and what happens if Strong Mayors spreads to other cities? An Ontario bill was one of -- if not THE -- last thing to be signed in with Queen Elizabeth's name in the entire Commonwealth. What was it like to actually meet the Queen at her home? Hamilton's own Ron Foxcroft joins the show to share his incredible experience. By some estimates, it should be easy for the Conservatives to take on the federal Liberals after polling from Abacus, earlier this week, showed a dip for Trudeau and his team. Earlier this afternoon, the public book of condolences for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth at Hamilton City Hall was opened.. Guests: Tim Potocic, Co-owner, Sonic Unyon Records, Supercrawl Productions, Because Beer Festival, Mills Hardware, Bridgeworks Don Fox, Executive Financial Consultant, with The Fox Group, IG Private Wealth Management Eric Alper, Publicist and music commentator Bill Brioux, television critic and author Henry Jacek.
