Brenna and Joe are back in Trickster territory as the Canadian Indigenous lit sequel moves sober protagonist Jared to Vancouver and introduces a bevy of new family members, but keeps villainous ex-step father David around for conflict. Up for discussion: our fears for Jared, who refuses to let anyone in, the queer/Chosen family the book spends so much time with; the harrowing pedal-to-the-metal last fifty pages of the book and our predictions for where the story goes in the final book. Also: stick around for one of the show's funniest gags post-credits!Wanna connect with the show?

Prepare your magic, your dragons and your plucky shapeshifting henchwomen because we are talking about Nimona! This delightful MFA thesis project began life as a fun, episodic webtoon (see previous episode Orange Marmalade) before eventually becoming a sprawling action adventure about trauma and tragedy. But it's super fun, we swear!Also fun: Stevenson's evolving artistic style and the text's "no big deal" inclusion of queer and disabled characters, which sadly got lost in a lot of critical reviews at the time (Brenna has thoughts!)Wanna connect with the show?

Working in technology, construction, and engineering often is portrayed in just one way, but Rebecca Sorbara is here to tell us that there are many rewarding non-conventional careers in these fields. She joins Danniele, WWEST manager and Best of the WWEST host, to get nerdy about building science. Everyone comes into contact with buildings every day, and Rebecca explains why her passion for keeping buildings dry and keeping walls doing what they do best is so important. Plus, she tells us all about sustainability and answers the question “what is a passive house?” Rebecca Sorbara is the Director of Building Science at McCuaig and Associates Engineering. She leads a team of engineering professionals and oversees the development and implementation of organizational quality control processes. Rebecca is an Applied Science Technologist with 18 years of experience in building science and project management. WWEST and Best of the WWEST would like to thank the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC (ASTTBC) for connecting us with the individual profiled above. Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC (ASTTBC) is leading the Advancing Women in Engineering and Technology Project, a Sector Labour Market Partnership project, funded through the Canada-BC Workforce Development Agreement. The project’s goal is to increase the participation of women in the engineering, geoscience, technology and technician occupations through the implementation of diversity and inclusion strategies to recruit, retain and support career development of women to lead a system level cultural shift within these professions.

The first book in the series, Son of a Trickster, is a CBC Canada Reads 2020 title, while the sequel, Trickster Drift, is the winner of the 2019 BC Book Prize for fiction.

Huge HUGE thank you to Robin for commissioning this whole book, and I'm also super mad at you for leaving me with this ending and no followup book to ease my poor aching brain after finishing this absolute bonkers finale. I can't even figure out where to start with this blurb, because holy shit what the fuck? We've got ghosts getting eaten, we've got other worlds in which there are dolphin people and dolphin cops with dolphin cops cars, and we've got monsters that unhinge their jaws and eat people's hearts and limbs and whatever the fuck. And then it ends with us finding out that Jared isn't just the child of a Trickster, but also immortal in his own right, someone who can live through being eaten alive repeatedly. WHAT. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you again to Robin for commissioning this episode! I just realized that I'm only one episode away from the end of the book, and I'm completely unsure how this can possibly get wrapped up in a satisfactory manner. I'm LOVING this banana-pants book so far, though. I am actually remembering to post all of the links that Robin sent me, and I hope that you all will check them out! Robin, I'm pasting your words to me with the links, hopefully that's okay. "On the topic of North and Central Coast First Nations stories, there really aren't enough good resources out there - but the best printed collection of Haisla stories is actually by Eden Robinson's late uncle, Gordon Robinson. It's available on Smashwords at: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/6324Some of the other things mentioned, like ogres, ape men (probably the basis for sasquatch legends in the Pacific Northwest), and cannibals are more Haida, as far as I can tell. This page (which is periodically up and down) was recommended to me by a Coast Salish friend: http://www.native-languages.org/haida-legends.htmAlso, the Wikipedia page for the society that Nana Sophia was implied to be a part of in the first book doesn't look too bad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamatsa"Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Robin for commissioning this episode! I'm getting really really invested in this story, and I'm dying to know where we're going with all this weirdness. These chapters are full of extra super duper weirdness, because Sarah shows up, and wherever she goes things seem to get uncomfortable fast. She's devastated because her fireflies are gone, and it turns out that some creepy medicine man ate them. WHAT???And then there's the damn otter-woman who turns up and freak Jared (and me) right the fuck out. Hey, at least she's hot. Thanks so much for listening to this episode, and I will see you again soon with the next installment!

Thanks for joining us! This month we’re discussing Trickster Drift the by Eden Robinson, chosen by author and WPL Writer-in-Residence alumnus Jordon Wheeler, who joined us as a guest host, for which we are very grateful! Trickster Drift is the second book in a trilogy by Eden Robinson (we read the first book Son of a Trickster last year,…

Thank you to Robin for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad to be back on this book, because it's got such a bizarre plot that I've found myself thinking about it a million times over the past few weeks.In these chapters, I go back and cover what I missed on my last sick day episode, and then move on to talking about the total weirdness of Jared leaving his body and bouncing around on the ceiling. This kid just can't catch a fucking break. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

First of all, I need to apologize to Robin for this episode. I made an effort to record a tad earlier after being sick than I should have, and this resulted in my voice being absolutely shot after about 40 minutes. I wanted so badly to finish, but I straight-up could not make sounds, so I had to cut out early. I promise I will make it up to you, Robin! There's an extra 20 minutes coming at you in the next episode you commission!It's really a shame that I lost my voice, too, because I really loved these chapters. Jared is pushing himself so hard, getting a job and going to school and keeping the household going in a lot of ways. He even decides to accept tutoring help from Bathrobe, which I think is a great idea. And throughout it all, he stays sober and helps his friend who has fallen off the wagon. Said it before and I'll say it again: TEAM JARED FOREVER.

Thank you to Robin for commissioning this episode! This book has been absolutely fascinating to me. There's so much happening, coming from all corners, and I'm not entirely sure what it all adds up to or what needs to worry Jared and what has nothing to do with him. EXCEPT THAT THING IN HIS ROOM. I AM REASONABLY SURE HE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT. His ex-nana's gift of a Vespa is so silly and yet sweet at the same time, and the preoccupation he has with paying everyone back is frankly heartbreaking. I want him to embrace the few breaks he gets, but he's too busy trying to repay people ffor just being decent to him. But to be honest, I love this kid. Team Jared forever. Thank you for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you again to Robin for commissioning this episode! I'm delighted to be getting to know Jared's aunt Mave a little bit better, and I'm happy to report that while she may be a bit of a mess, I think she really does have the best of intentions. For now. Also, her house is haunted. So even is Mave is awesome, that doesn't preclude some real weird, unnatural shit happening in this apartment that seems to attract some weird shit. I mean, even if the place weren't haunted, the paintings on the walls would be enough to creep most of us out. Anyway. Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Robin for commissioning this episode! I'm trying to withhold judgement until later, but for now I'm just relieved that Jared has somewhere to stay. His aunt seems a little...erratic, but at the same time, who in his life doesn't? And erratic doesn't always equal bad. Also, there is a pretty awesome sequence where he goes to a barbecue attended by a bunch of gods and their offspring, and he understandably flips out and takes off. I really want to know what the hell Georgina expected to happen, bringing him in there with no warning. Thanks for listening, everyone, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Many thanks to Robin for continuing to commission this series! We're getting into the second book now, Trickster Drift, and it's a whole new world. The biggest change this time around is in the setting. Jared starts out still at home with his mother, but he's getting ready to start college. He's a full year early so he doesn't have anyone he's friends with going along with him. To top it off, he's still sober and everyone is treating him like a pariah, which is tough to read. Jared is planning to stay with his mother's ex, Deaththreat, but turns out that asshole is expecting Jared to bake for him despite Jared's sobriety. When Jared refuses, he's left without a place to stay, and I'm left very anxious. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
