1w ago00:50:21Tap to summarizeBroadcast Date – June 3, 2026 Our chats will be just that, very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. Now there’s an old adage that says “when you need something done, ask a busy person!” And listen, I know today’s guest is always busy doing something wonderfully creative – but since I really wanted to chat about this season’s entertaining slate of productions at Grafton Street Dinner Theatre, I could think of no one better than the fantastic force at the helm of all that hilarity. So yes, I’m interrupting her busy schedule so we can talk about the shows and so much more, including what it takes to cast each musical and the truly special skills each performer needs to bring to the table – literally! We’ll also talk about the experience each guest can expect from the immersive 3 hours of engaging entertainment, to the fantastic food to the truly incredible sense of community. Plus, we’ll play a freshly installed edition of 1st Things First, launch a brand new game called The Very Last Thing and even spin some of the amazing music from this season’s Grafton Street Dinner Theatre line-up. So with all that ahead, we best get to it – here’s my phone call conversation with the Artistic Director herself, the one and only Kelley Edwards.

Now, if you’re a regular listener to the show, you know how much I LOVE MOVIES, so you’ve gotta know when they’re filmed right here in the homeland, that’s the absolute finest kind. And how wonderful it’s been to watch the phenomenal response from movie fans across the country to LITTLE LORRAINE. Filmed on Cape Breton Island, the gripping crime drama brings to life the lore of a tiny seaside town turned dark by an international drug smuggling ring run across the sea on lobster boats and on land, in of all things, coffins. So appropos, and have mercy, is it marvellous! The movie marks the debut feature for my guest today, who, after directing music videos for countless artists from Alicia Keys and Keith Urban to Coldplay and Classified had another music track come at him that would change everything. A song from fellow Nova Scotia Adam Baldwin that sparked something in my guest’s storytelling spirit from which an entire film unfolded. So we’ll talk about that moment and so much more, including how it felt make his first movie back home in the province and how that legendary Cape Breton hospitality showed up for him on screen and off. We’ll also hear how he wove music into the project, discover the importance he places in dreams and even get the scoop on his sophomore feature that’ll have him calling “Action!” back here on the East Coast. Plus, we’ll get to 1st Things First, play an enlightening round of INsights IN 10 and even spin some of his favourite soundtrack tunes throughout the hour. So, with all that ahead, we’d best get to it – here’s my Zoom call conversation with the one and only Andy Hines. You’ll find the player at the bottom of this post. Follow Andy Hines online at @andyhines.tv and his film at @littlelorrainefilm and check out the trailer here. Have a watch of “Lighthouse in Little Lorraine” by Adam Baldwin ~ the music video that started it all Andy and I talked about the wonderful Greg Thomey who starred as Uncle Huey in the music video ~ you can watch my on set interview Mr.Thomey behind the scenes of THIS HOUR HAS 22 MINUTES here.

Apr 2300:57:20Tap to summarizeBroadcast Date – April 22, 2026 Our chats will be just that very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. With today’s guest I was over the moon, and I mean as far as fun flag-wavers for PEI go you’ll find no finer… or for the record busier! Now for the sake of full transparency I want to share two things – the first is that I would need a couple dozen shows to squeeze in all of this woman’s work – from her early days in front of the camera on EMILY OF NEW MOON to her directorial debut of THE SNAKE making it’s world premiere at SXSW last month there have been countless creative projects for the big and small screen. And the second – we recorded this call amidst the tiniest smidge of daylight on her schedule during the Canadian Media Producers’ big PRIME TIME 2026 festival this past January, where she was booked to speak as an industry expert – so we were limited time-wise there too. Did we talk about her making Playback Magazine’s prestigious 10 to Watch list? No. Did we celebrate all the amazing this she’s done with the Charlottetown Film Festival (now Anchorfest)? I promise I’ll put that at the top of my list for our next chat. For this call, I was focused on her super cool debut feature THE SNAKE and how she was feeling about it screening at one of the coolest festivals on the planet. We talked about her righteous company Club Red Productions, what it takes to be a producer, as many of her projects – past, present and future and naturally her affinity for the homeland. Plus – we got to 1st Things First, played an enlightening round of INsights IN 10 and even spun some of her favourite tunes along the way. So with all that ahead, we best get to it. Here’s my telephone conversation with the one and only Jenna MacMillan. (You’ll find the player at the bottom of the post!)

Apr 800:54:43Tap to summarizeBroadcast Date – April 8, 2026 Our chats will be just that, very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. As for today’s guest I can tell you confidently it’s always a delight and that’s based on many years of knowing her and working with her too. In fact we go all the way back to the beginning of this SEA AND BE SCENE adventure – back when we were both hosting shows on Bell Aliant’s Community One Television. Fast forward about a decade or so and you’ll see she’s added a ton of incredible productions to her resume. From projects on the big screen like DANCING ON THE ELEPHANT, HAILEY ROSE and SXSW-winning feature THE SNAKE, to series work on shows like PRETTY BLIND, THIS HOUR HAS 22 MINUTES and THE CURSE OAK ISLAND to her most recent hit EVERYBODY’S MEG for which she just received the Canadian Screen Award Nomination for Best Webseries. So you best believe we’ll chat about all of that and so much more – including how she manages all the many hats she wears on set and what it’s like to shift from big budget productions to those independent projects. We’ll also hear what tops her dream production wish list and learn what she misses most about her hometown of St.John’s, NL. Plus we’ll get to 1st Things First play a truly enlightening round of INsights IN 10 and even spins some of her favourite tunes along the way. So with all that ahead we best get to it – here’s my telephone conversation with the one and only Terri Lynn Kearsey (you’ll find the player at the bottom of this post) Check out Terri Lynn’s IMDb page and follow her on Instagram @terrilynnkearsey Watch EVERYBODY’S MEG on Fibe TV1 in Canada and worldwide on trailerparkboysplus.com We played some great music on the show today and all of the tracks are available on iTunes.

And what an absolute delight it was to connect with today’s guest, who’s following up her award-winning big screen debut with another command performance in the 2026 retelling of the 1986 classic YOUNGBLOOD. Set to roll into theatres across the country this Friday, March 6th. The new movie, like the original, revolves around a fiery young hockey player who’s determined to make it despite his demons and his dad. A fresh turn in this new take is handled by our guest today, who takes on the role of romantic interest Jessie Chadwick with the added dimension of also being a goalie with goals of her own. We’ll talk about how tremendous talent, coupled with her sporty skills, ticked every box to book the gig and so much more! Including how it felt to be one of so few women in the feature and how her on-screen dad, played by NL’s Shawn Doyle, made her feel like a real-life daughter. We’ll also flashback to her first feature NIGHT BLOOMS, with fond words from the director Stephanie Joline and discuss the passion she put into her ACTRA Award-winning performance. Plus, we’ll hear about her growing up on Prince Edward Island, discover how she got started in the business, get her advice for aspiring actors, and learn about what she’s working on next. We’ll also get to 1st THINGS FIRST, play an enlightening round of INsights IN 10 and even spin some of her favourite tunes along the way. So with all that ahead, we best get to it.

Feb 1100:56:19Tap to summarizeBroadcast Date – February 11, 2026 Our chats will be just that very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable – and I’d bet any money if you’ve had the great fortune of crossing paths with today’s guest – you were more joyful because of it. After a mega award-winning career that spans more than 2 decades, 14 albums and hundreds and hundreds of live shows – we fortunate folks number off the charts. In fact, I’ve lost track of the number of times his name has been mentioned here on the show – from much anticipated headliner at a festival to a cherished co-writing session, a terrific touring partner, perfect producer and dearest friend – the impact he has made on so many is immeasurable. And while his humble side will fight me on it at every turn we’ll talk about all of that and so much more. We’ll also celebrate his brand new project set for release on February 20, 2026. It’s called Field Notes and while there’s no denying its production is like nothing he’s ever experienced for an album – I’d go so far as to say there’s never been a project that has captured the true artist that he is so magnificently. Just wait til you hear all about it. Plus we’ll get to The 1st Word, play The Final Countdown and of course spin as much of marvellous music as we can within the hour.
