Broadcast Date – July 3, 2024
Our chats will be just that very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. Now while we’re fast approaching our 7th year here on the radio – it bears mentioning that this EAST COAST CELEBRATION of mine just celebrated its 14th anniversary on July 1st so it’s fair there have been hundreds and hundreds of incredibly talented people who I’ve had the great fortune of interviewing over the years – and while I may have lost count, I do my best to keep track! Especially when someone has a ton of stellar stuff on the go like today’s guest. Who – in addition to his forthcoming feature rolls in the ensemble drama THE PLAYERS and Jason Buxton’s thriller SHARP CORNER – can now be seen on the big screen and streaming opposite Golden Globe Winning superstar Richard Gere in LONGING. Add to that writing, directing and starring is two of his own upcoming short films, not to mention is recent a starring stage role and I’d say we’ve got plenty of ground to cover and then some. Including how he deals with the many hats he has to wear as a busy filmmaker and how he found perspective and joy following much quieter times. We’ll also learn how he feels being home here in Nova Scotia and how his fantastic range as an actor lead to him playing Oscar Winning legend Katherine Hepburn – plus we’ll get to 1st things First, play a long over due round of INsights IN 10 and even spin some of his favourite tunes throughout the hour. So with all that ahead we best get to it. Here’s my telephone conversation with the one and only Wayne Burns.
