Step into The Lit Room, your half-hour of words, voices, and stories on CKCU 93.1 FM. Each week, host Susan Johnston opens the door to a space where books meet conversation. From local Ottawa writers to international voices, the show explores what moves us on the page, what lingers between the lines, and how literature shapes the way we live.
