Broadcast Date – January 22, 2025
Our chats will be just that very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. Now, if by chance this is your first time listening to the show and it’s the first you hear telling of this thing called SEA AND BE SCENE – welcome! But if you’ve been with me for any length of time you’ve most assuredly heard me mention the name of today’s guest – in fact, were you to do the math – he’s the one East Coast person I’ve interviewed THE MOST since this Atlantic Canadian celebration began all the way back in 2010. From Behind-the-Scenes Specials and on-set interviews to Theatre Company Shindigs to film festival features and red carpet galas – there’s no denying the pride of Bell Island has given us plenty to celebrate over the years and since our very first chat in the backseat of the GTO on location with his first show REPUBLIC OF DOYLE – to this most recent sit down to get the scoop on his latest CBC series SAINT-PIERRE – its always a delight, and with so much catching up to do – there’s never enough time. I mention that because today’s show is a combination of conversations. Parts 1 and 2 happened when we met up during his recent media tour to HALIFAX in the middle of an action-packed schedule with the clock ticking. Part 3 happened when he graciously offered to finish with a phone call. All told it was a grand time in which we discussed everything from the incredible team behind his new show and how grateful he feels for the opportunity to be at the helm of another series. We’ll talk about his successful process for casting and how they came he came to be filming on the overseas collectivity of France in the first place. We’ll also chat about his part in another CBC smash – SON OF A CRITCH – flashback for some inside scoop on DOYLE, play a brand new game called The Final Countdown and spin some super cool tunes along the way. So with all that ahead we best get to it. Here’s my conversation with the one and only ALLAN HAWCO.
