Gallant Gulls and the Catunquit Chronicles

by

Listen here to Gallant Gulls, Episode 55 of Catunquit Chronicles,

By Wayne Cresser

You can bet your intrepid scribe was as happy as Larry to get an invite from the hosts of The Catunquit Chronicles, James Allan and Ashland Comorack. I was asked to drop by for a chat and to read some of my short stories for their weekly podcast.

I had to scramble to get from the island where I live, Jamestown, to the smaller and more challenged one to our south called Catunquit. Think of Bedford Falls and Pottersville and the picture might come into focus for you.

I looked for guidance from the gallant Gulls mentioned in the title of the broadcast, and sure enough, they showed me where I needed to go, disproving my prior association of Catunquit with dissolute dreamers and lobster poachers.

If James and Ashland are any indication, it’s a fine place with fine people. And what’s more, anytime I get to talk about writing with people who are interested and ask savvy questions, I’m going to have a good time, which I did.

Picture This: St. Patrick’s Day at the movies

by

By Michael Stevenson

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Hobbledehoys! Here’s your chance to bypass that dreadful “green beer” music playing at your local bar, and instead listen to some gorgeous compositions from a dozen-or-so Irish-inspired films, such The Grey Fox, The Quiet Man, Barry Lyndon, The Secret of Roan Inish, The Guard, and Calvary. And as the late night TV commercial would boast – “But, wait, there’s more!” – you’ll hear an offering from the One True 007, Sean Connery, who warbles a classic Disney movie tune that may leave you … ‘shaken. but not stirred.’

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

Composers covered in this 2-hour broadcast include the classically-trained Irishmen Shaun Davey and Patrick Cassady, as well as more than a few pillars of Irish Trad, notably The Chieftains and Donal Lunny.

As well as the above, you’ll hear a few delightful jigs and reels that will leave even a St. Paddy’s Day cynic getting reely jiggy!

This special St. Patrick’s Day broadcast of “Picture This” is hosted by friend to The Hobbledehoy and fellow grey fox, Mr. Wayne Cresser.
