Ali Bryan is the author of six novels, including the young adult novel Takedown, published earlier this year by DCB Young Readers. In this episode, Ali and Nathan talk about their mutual dislike of aspirational novels, the current literary trend against ambiguity in literary fiction, and the elements of a successful and enjoyable book launch. (Spoiler: a ninety-minute reading is not one of those elements.).


Kick off the new season of Canadian Time Machine with a look back at the 100-year anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). We speak with Billy Flynn, a former RCAF commanding officer, who highlights key moments in RCAF history, from its formation to World War II and advancements in aviation safety. We’ll also hear from Major General Jamie Speiser-Blanchet, the RCAF’s Deputy Commander. She shares her insights on the inclusion of women and diversity in the force, continuous pilot training, and the RCAF’s evolving role in international peacekeeping.
