SATURDAY, December 3

0730 Two poets. Two perspectives on the challenges of their craft. Their names are Shirley Camia and Joe Cummings. They each have a volume of published poetry to their credit. And they also share space in the CBC national news room. Shirley and Joe joined Mary to chat about their avocation.
Listen (runs 13:53) to their conversation.
Shirley's book is called Calliope. It's published by Libros Libertad.
Learn more at Shirley's website.
Joe's book is called Threats And Gossip. It's published by McArthur & Co
And here's another young poet you might like to check out. Her name is Sabrina Wright and her just-published volume is called Language Mine. You can learn more at Sabrina's website

0800 Holiday hosting often involves alcohol. And that raises questions about your legal responsibilities as a host. Shelley Timms is past president of
Arrive Alive/Drive Sober---a registered charity whose mission is to eliminate impaired driving in Ontario. Shelley is also a lawyer whose company---Timshel Services---specializes in alcohol risk management. She joined Mary to clarify what needs to happen to ensure holiday festivities don't turn sour.

There's plenty of valuable information about hosting, drinking and driving on the Arrive Alive website.

0830 It's The Wizard Of Oz...but it's the Ross Petty version. That makes it a wickedly, wacky family musical. And it's a holiday tradition. Two of the actors taking part are Jessica Holmes and Dan Chameroy. They joined Mary to talk about taking a few "liberties" with the version of the Wizard that YOU'RE probably familiar with.

The Wizard Of Oz is at Toronto's Elgin Theatre from November 25 to January 6.
Complete details are at Ross Petty's Wizard Of Oz website.
