Episode Details

Another holiday bonus this week for our dedicated After The Bell  listeners. The Stunt Brothers celebrate Season 2 Episode 30 with a look back in time at Season 1. Martin is not happy with this as permanent daylight savings time means he is now one hour closer to turning 60...and he will never get that hour back!

Part 1 unpacks the spirit of the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) with community stories courtesy of author Nick Marino and his excellent book, Eastside Story. Join the Stunt Brothers in this lively episode as they explore the spirit of the PNE, colourful fair traditions, and personal stories that highlight youth, culture, and underground economies. Featuring educator and author Nick Marino, this episode dives into stories that celebrate community, history, and the power of shared experiences.

In part 1:

• The significance of fairs and festivals in fostering community connections and cultural pride
• Nick Marino shares insights from his book "East Side Story," focusing on PNE memories and youth culture
• Funny anecdotes of sneaking into events, catching greased pigs, and underground economies at the fair
• The cultural and social roles of fairs for teenagers transitioning into adulthood
• Imaginary casting choices for a “movie adaptation” of "East Side Story" with actors like Paul Rudd and Anne Hathaway
• Songs that would perfect a soundtrack for the imagined film, including classics from The Clash, Motley Crue, and The Cure
• Conversations about favorite teachers, memorable classroom moments, and their influence on our lives
• Exciting upcoming projects, including a family history book and reflections on teaching careers
• Celebrating community through stories, humor, and shared passions that connect educators, students, and local history
