Episode 65: Author Talk with Sharon Bala

What this episode covers

In this month's episode, I talk with author Sharon Bala about her new novel Good Guys, a sometimes-scathing satire of the world of non-profits and well-meaning charity. We both dive a little into personal experience, and we also discuss what Sharon's been reading. Then, Emma joins me for another look at this year's Canada Reads books, where we continue to judge books by their covers.
