Episode Details

In Episode 67 it’s May the Fourth, a beautiful sunny day, and our podcasters are trying to figure out why they are seeing so many students in and around the city library. The Stunt Brothers quickly realize it’s not an attendance issue in North Vancouver but a Professional Day. Martin then informs Roy that on today’s field trip on After the Bell, they’ll be joined by one of Canada’s most important and versatile voices in literature, David A. Robertson. A bestselling author whose work spans children’s books, graphic novels, memoirs, and novels. David is known for powerful storytelling and his books have helped spark meaningful conversations around Indigenous perspectives, history, and lived experiences. His latest novel, All the Little Monsters, takes readers in a different direction, offering a deeply personal and honest exploration of anxiety, mental health, and the internal struggles so many people carry but rarely speak about openly. Get ready for an insightful and engaging conversation with one of Canada’s most celebrated authors, right here on After the Bell.
