In this episode, we'll be featuring readings and conversations from Barbara Gowdy, Kirsten Innes, Miriam Pirbhai, Nicholas Eames and Canisia Lubrin. What do all of these authors have in common? They appeared on our stage as debut authors!

We also interviewed TIFA directors, Geoffrey E. Taylor and Christine Saratsiotis, about how authors get invited to our stage, their memorable experiences and how the Festival has evolved over the years.

This episode is produced by Emily Jung & hosted by Ardo Omer.
