That's Life with Scott Evans

Thu, 10/07/2021 - 11:00am | Lois Richter

Author, retired professor, writing group leader, Davisite -- these are just some of the ways to describe today's guest, Scott Evans.

Whether you're a mystery enthusiast; or interested in litereary giants such as Hemingway, Shakespeare, or Plath; or want to become an author; or just like reading ... there's something for each of you in this show.   

We start talking about the journal Scott edits -- "Blue Moon: Literary & art review";

then shift to his on-going weekly writers' group;

and move on to Scott's new novel "The Caribbean Prisoner";

then back to the beginning with his 'literary' murder mysteries -- "Tragic Flaws", "First Folio", and "Sylvia’s Secrets";

forward again to his intro of some of the writer (now authors!) in the Thursday group;

and finally settle back for a little history of Scott himself.

The Folk Brothers for Oct. 6, 2021: Songs of Irish emigration

Wed, 10/06/2021 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

Today's show starts with a set of songs inspired by 19th and 20th century Irish emigration. First off is Tim O'Brien's tune, "The Crossing," followed by another lament about leaving for Amerikay: Karine Polwart and Dave Milligans' new rendition of "Craigie Hill." Starting in the late 1800's, Irish laborers flooded the United Kingdom, as addressed by the next two songs: Josh O'Keefe's version of "McAlpine's  Fusiliers," and Christy Moore's cover of Jimmy McCarthy's song "Missing You."

Also on today's show: new music from Martha Scanlan, Aoife O'Donovan, Dirk Powell, Tre Burt, Vincent Cross, and Frank Richard.
