The Stunt Brothers are excited about the launch of Season 2 of their After The Bell podcast. Season 1 was a great success and the Summer Sessions proved to be a great diversion from the classroom. But the new school year is fast approaching so maybe we should start getting ready for that return to school.

It’s Labour Day, so let’s slow things down and take a trip to Vancouver’s Pacific National Exhibition, a fair where you can win a prize home, eat mini-doughnuts, and ride an old wooden rollercoaster. The PNE is a 115 year old staple in the lives of Vancouverites, and a reminder to parents, children, and teachers that school starts tomorrow. 

After having a celebration for the end of season 1, at North Point Brewing, Roy and Martin kick off season 2 by interviewing Vancouver teacher and writer, Nick Marino, author of the fabulous book, Eastside Story. A story of working at the PNE from those who worked there, including Nick and a cast of characters who would not be out of place in a Hollywood movie.
