This week on What Happened Next, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by author Shawn Micallef. His most recent book is a fully updated version of Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto, originally published by Coach House Books in 2010 and re‐released by Coach House in 2024. Shawn and Nathan talk about Shawn’s decision to finally abandon his X account, which had been a big part of how he explored cities, about how updating Stroll turned out to be a more onerous task than he originally thought, and about how writing a weekly newspaper column and becoming a parent has a funny way of delaying big new book projects.

Roy spoke at The Walrus Talks Equitable Housing in Vancouver on October 26, 2023.
