We missed The Good Sentence on The Coast 89.7 Sunday evening (6 p.m., March 9, 2015), when host Paul MacDougall interviewed Ian Brodie, but it will be aired again Thursday evening at 10 p.m. (March 12).
Paul spoke with Ian about his book on stand-up comedy, titled A Vulgar Art: A New Approach to Stand-Up Comedy (University Press of Mississippi 2014). Forthcoming is Ian’s book about the Old Trout Funnies (CBU Press, Fall 2015), which was a series of Cape Breton themed comic books, written by Paul MacKinnon, in the 1970s and 80s.
