  • Great Big Sea – Road Stories

    A Newfoundlander in Canada by Alan Doyle I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book by the lead singer of Great Big Sea. I was hoping to get a glimpse into the iconic Canadian band. It would have been nice to see how they grew into the juggernaut that they became. […]

  • Libby Library App

    Free Magazines on Your Phone (from Libby)

    I used to love reading magazines. When I was a teenager, The Source Magazine was pretty much required reading. It was a great way to find out about rap music releases and artists.

  • Star Wars: Aftermath

    Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig One thing I never understood about the Star Wars universe is how the good guys never seem to win.

    Part 2, the Tuesday night edition of Mastermind Street Jam was originally broadcast on April 9, 1996 on Energy 108 (107.9 fm) in Canada. I cut most of the talking out of this one.
