Round 2 with the illustrious Glenn Barrington.
We pick up where we left off talking about the music scene in Sackville, moving to Halifax, and later on to Toronto.
We talk about punk jobs, that are flexible enough to allow time to tour, pay the bills, and also contribute to the punk economy in some way.
We are then joined by Anne Herteis, who is married to Glenn and is one of the most genuine activists I know, she has worked in a few jobs - advocating, fighting for justice, and generally improving the world directly around her. In this conversation, we focus on Thunder & Lightning, a bar that they took over, what the place meant to them and how they operated it in an inclusive, open, and above all community-minded way. Under their guidance, the pub became even more of a pillar of the local community, hosting live events that challenged perceptions, while also making sure everyone had a good time. I have never had the pleasure of drinking a pint in T&L, but I feel like I have, just based on knowing these two amazing people, the team they assembled, and the work they put into making it that way.
I feel like Glenn's voice will be back on the podcast sometime soon, maybe as a guest host!
T&L forever!
