So, What's a Podcast?

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio broadcasts via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution method. Listeners may subscribe to feeds using "podcatching" software (a type of aggregator), which periodically checks for and downloads new content automatically. Any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software can play podcasts.

GIL ADAMSON, SHAUNA SINGH BALDWIN, BRIAN HENDERSON, SIDURA LUDWIG, DAVE MARGOSHES, JIM NASON

On the edge--of freedom, madness, understanding, memory, insight. Gil Adamson gives us a heroine on the run, Sidura Ludwig a girl growing toward her freedom. Jim Nason's characters weigh memory against experience, while Brian Henderson takes us into an unraveling mind. Shauna Singh Baldwin and Dave Margoshes tip their characters out of comfort and into challenge. Great writing takes a character right to that edge, lets us all feel what could unfold.

JOEL THOMAS HYNES, AGNES WALSH, KATHLEEN WINTER, MICHAEL WINTER

Newfoundland has hijacked the Canadian literary landscape with some of the sharpest and freshest--and often funniest--writing around. We're thrilled to welcome back Joel Thomas Hynes and Michael Winter, writers who've lit up our stages in the last couple of years. They're joined by Agnes Walsh, the Poet Laureate of St John's, and relative newcomer Kathleen Winter--it'll be an evening with some salt in the air.

DAVID CHARIANDY, WILLIAM GIBSON, BRENDA HASIUK, LAWERENCE HILL, LINDA LEITH

Crossing into new territory, whether it be cultural or linguistic or imaginative, challenges characters and readers to reconsider what they know to be true. Lawrence Hill and Linda Leith move characters through changing landscapes. Brenda Hasiuk, David Chariandy, and Marie-Clair Blais gather intersecting characters in one space. William Gibson hooks those two ends of the spectrum and complicates it with virtual dimensions. Encounters.
