Hosted by: Christine McNair and Bardia Sinaee every Thursday from 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM
Focus: Talk

I’m Christine McNair, one of four hosts for CKCU’s Literary Landscapes. My co-hosts are Kate Hunt, Neil Wilson and Bardia Sinaee. The half-hour show runs on Thursdays at 6:30 PM and can be heard at 93.1 in Ottawa or online (live stream only) at www.ckcufm.com. We take turns hosting and each of the hosts has a different bend to their show. (The show is technically called Literary Landscape (singular) but I rather deliberately use the plural.) Mine tends to focus on production and the inner workings of something; ie, the book as physical object, what it’s like to be a publisher/first-time novelist/chapbook press/small bunny/etc. I’ll often choose my topic as a response to whatever’s happening in Ottawa. I let my guests pick some of the songs played during the show.
