I was wondering if there is a podcast of your interview with Russ Wangersky available. As a firefighter myself, I recognize how valuable his perspective and story would be to others in our profession, and i have been handing out copies of his book like candy to the volunteers in my firehall. However, most firefighters are not "readers" by nature, being instead action-oriented adrenalin junkies. I was hoping to be able to refer those of my colleagues who are NOT book enthusiasts to the podcast of Russ' interview as a hook to get them to read the book, but so far can't find the interview. Am I suffering from a technical deficit, or is this interview not available for some reason? Your assistance in finding the podcast would be sincerely appreciated!

Cheers,

Dear Shelagh;
Enjoy your program, Next Chapter: Your Saturday show , a discussion on
local history of a Canadian Saskatchewan Community , a non-fiction book
was particularly interesting. May I suggest "ZHORNA-Material Culture of
the Ukrainian Pioneers", a non-fiction local history on the pioneer
settlement in central Alberta for your review. A University of Calgary
Press book published in 2007. An excellent review by Professor Lisa
Grekul was published in the Alberta Views June 2008. Enjoy
