On the Saturday August 9, 2025 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Giles Blunt, the author of the John Cardinal novels, which were the inspiration for the popular crime television series “Cardinal” starring Billy Campbell as police detective John Cardinal. Twice nominated for the International Dublin Literary Award, his novels have been compared to the work of Ian Rankin and Cormac McCarthy. Today we talk about his latest novel, a period piece called “Bad Juliet.” Set at a tuberculosis sanitarium in the Adirondacks, it’s a riveting story of a young tutor falls in love with a mysterious woman who survived the Lusitania disaster. Then, we’ll meet Kiesza, a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist known for her genre-defying blend of dance, pop, and folk influences. Her latest album, Dancing And Crying: Vol. 2, follows the huge success of the single “I Go Dance” which soared to #1 on the US Dance Airplay Chart in 2024. We talk abvout her music and the long road to recovery after being hit by a car 8 years ago.
