As the leaves turn to bright reds and golden yellows in our fast approaching fall season, nightmares of long snowy winters begin to occupy our minds. After all, it is September. For some, September means back to school. For us, this month also means leaving the enchanted woods where we record this podcast to venture into the world. Don’t worry, Matt went and returned safe. At least from what we can see. We talk cognitive nutritional supplements in a new Top 5. Hockey Night at the Museum (25:25) If you live or have travelled to Canada, you’ve been exposed to hockey in some way. From local team fundraising drives to very public NHL product endorsement, and from outdoor rinks lit throughout the night to the quasi-ubiquitous talk about who will win the Stanley Cup this season: hockey is a part of Canada, there is little denying that. But what happens when hockey becomes part of an exhibit meant to be a celebration of the influence of the game? Could the confines of the museum trap hockey, limiting our impression of just how pan-Canadian the game is? Or could this exhibit, created to align with Canada’s 150 celebrations, show us that hockey is much more ingrained in the mostly barren frozen land we call Canada? Matt spent a night at the Canadian Museum of History’s exhibit, appropriately entitled, Hockey in Canada: More than Just a Game! Matt gives us a thorough runthrough of the display as we dive into the socio-cultural aspects of the exhibit. We explore gender, race, Aboriginal and First Nations’ representation as we pick apart the revisionist portrayal of how hockey has made Canada and, how Canadians have made hockey. For more information on the exhibit visit: http://www.historymuseum.ca/hockey/ Recommendations (1:06:50) Matt recommends Writing Excuses Podcast and two short works of science fiction: Arthur C. Clarke’s Of Time and Stars; Isaac Asimov’s Short Story Bibliography Phil recommends Netflix’s Luke Cage Concluding thought: “I like ice hockey. No one is ever going to ask me to write about that as a metaphor for life” ― Steven Pinker Make sure to check out the Poplar Cove podcast, on iTunes, Stitcher or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

The Row by J.R. Johansson https://www.amazon.com/Row-J-R-Johansson-ebook/dp/B01D8FKXEG/ref=pd_rhf_pe_p_img_10?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=C0J60Y7EQ9EH4NT0FABZ This book was reccomended on a podcast I often listen to, The Writing Excuses Podcast. They had JR Johansson on as a guest. Half way through the podcast they always reccomend a book and gave her the opportunity to choose the book of the week. I respect all of the authors on the podcast, and I've often talked about Brandon Sanderson as being one of my favorites. If you're not familiar with the podcast and are an aspiring writer at any point of the journey, you are missing out on some great instruction on how to make your writing the best it can be. Anyway, Johansson pitched The Row and told a little about it. It sounded good to me and I vowed to review the first chapter. Well, the first two in this case, I like to do about 15 pages. The book was on the more expensive side, as ebooks go. It was $9.99 which is about double what most ebooks cost. The Row has a 4.5 star average with 25 reviews. It was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) (October 11, 2016) Here is the cover copy: Seventeen-year-old Riley Beckett is no stranger to prison. Her father is a convicted serial killer on death row who has always maintained that he was falsely accused. Riley has never missed a single visit with her father. She wholeheartedly believes that he is innocent. Then, a month before the execution date, Riley’s world is rocked when, in an attempt to help her move on, her father secretly confesses to her that he actually did carry out the murders. He takes it back almost immediately, but she can’t forget what he’s told her. Determined to uncover the truth for her own sake, she discovers something that will forever change everything she’s believed about the family she loves. The Amazon preview has the first three chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 are the first sixteen pages, so I'm going to read you that.... (Read first two chapters) What's there to like about Riley? She's smart. She's learned the routine to see her father without causing waves. She's made friends with the prison staff and warden so that they're on her side. She thinks her mother is resilient, but I get the idea that she's not really. I may be wrong, but I think we are going to see that her diligence at the office and her staying away from visits is her way of creating distance so that her work life goes smoothly and her security isn't affected as it was in the past. I'm predicting that she is creating a new life for herself without her husband. I think Riley is the resilient one. I like her dedication to her father how she faithfully visits him every week, year after year and how she saves every letter he has written to her. Being the father of daughters, myself, I understand how Riley's father could come to depend on her visits to feel grounded to the outside world. My first daughter was sixteen before we added more children to our family through adoption. She was truly one of my best friends. She brought, and still brings, a lot of joy to my life. So, I want to read on to find out what happens at the hearing, and now, knowing the rest of the preview, how Riley will react when her father tells her his committed the crimes.
Justin and Kevin sit down with Dan Wells, author of I Am Not a Serial Killer and Partials, among others. He shares his advice on writing, outlining, how he helped start the Writing Excuses Podcast with Brandon Sanderson, and how fun it is to see your book made into a movie.
