Getting Back To The Office & Is A Crow Smarter Than Steven?

  • Authored on August 8, 2023

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun discuss the latest rumour about the new iPhone 15 to be announced in early September.

Also, as Zoom encourages its staff to return to the office, the guys discuss the benefits (or lack thereof) of being in the office versus working from home. And there are more of your comments on using backpacks, stronger mobility aids such as the All Terrain Cane, and a question from Greg on whether a crow is smarter than Steven following his attempts to thread a lanyard through his Hable One.

Pamela Mulloy

  • Authored on August 7, 2023

Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write.

Pamela Mulloy’s debut novel, The Deserters, was published in 2018, and explores the tangled relationship between a lonely wife on a New Brunswick farm and an American soldier who goes AWOL while on leave from Iraq. Whereas The Deserters examines the aftermath of war, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder, Pamela’s follow-up, As Little as Nothing, explores the effects of war’s approach.

Set in the south of England in the 12 months leading up to the Second World War, the novel is a vivid portrait of a community still coming to terms with events of the past while also preparing for an uncertain future.

Join Pamela and Red as they discuss trauma, resilience and the various ways we reinvent ourselves.

My Life in Books airs Mondays at 1 p.m. Eastern on AMI-audio, or download the podcast from your favourite provider via this link: https://www.ami.ca/My-Life-Books/recent_episodes
