Are we there yet? Has Spring sprung? And where is Gander? At least two of these questions are answered on this week’s Snack Pack, as we farewell Winter and welcome the true stars of “Come From Away”.

709 Watershed is back on Greenspond for its 3rd annual "Stories of Greenspond" episodes. Two shows were produced from this year's visit, with this show having the Owner/Operator of Ida's Place, Heather Gordon, speaking about what has happen to the business over the past year and about her cheesecake and cinnamon buns. Host Darren Sheppard also speaks to Colton Firmage and Jade Burton, two young entrepreneurs of "Berries and Beads", who call Greenspond home, and who share their thoughts on what it is like to be a kid from the island. And Mayor Herb Burry stops by to discuss his opinions of what Greenspond has to offer to visitors or potential new residents, the importance of tourism and the fishery to the community, and provides insight on how the causeway came about to replace the ferry.

Dr. Matthew Horsley explores the ethnomusicology of Irish music as well as discuses his own journey into learning traditional Irish instruments. Currently (2019 onward) playing in the Australian production of Come From Away, Matthew also talks about how the orchestrations (by August Eriksmoen) allowed him to perform the musical with an idiomatic feel.

Come From Away  is called Broadway's 100-minute feel good sensation, and for good reason. Now in its 6th year at the Schoenfeld Theatre, this Tony Award-winning musical tells the true story of the five days following September 11, 2001 in Gander, New Foundland where 7,000 stranded passengers were met with overwhelming human kindness in their time of need. 

This week, authors Irene Sankoff and David Hein join Rabbi Pont for a conversation about how the show came to be and the impact that this spectacular show has had on them, on the artists who brought it to life, and the millions of people who have seen the show worldwide. 

Melissa Joy also creates video tutorials on all things clothing, costuming, and seamstressry. See her YouTube channel - MissHauntCouture here >>> 

What can a 60-year-old play about drunk and sometimes spiteful American academics tell us about culture and race relations in Australia? Director Margaret Harvey shares her bold vision for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Also, we hear a performance from Black Brass, inspired by stories of resilience from Perth's African communities and we meet some of the real-life people whose generosity inspired the hit musical Come from Away.

Host Darren Sheppard chats with Lori on everything tourism within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Little did she know that her vacation group on Facebook would explode to well over 70,000 members, making it the must-visit site for finding details about unique vacation spots, places to visit, and things to do when visiting the province or for those Newfoundlanders who are looking at exploring their home province. Lori also shares her favourite spots on the island to visit and what is on her bucket list for future plans.

Christina D'Angelo - Art director, graphic designer, illustrator and writer with a drive for smithing big ideas from concept to execution.

I've created collateral across all forms of media internationally — small gigs to corporate — from cabaret shows at Joe’s Pub in New York to foreign exchange stores in Panama, menus in Paris, and theatrical campaigns in Dubai.

With a background as a painter and writer (as well as studies in art history, US presidential history, cinema studies, and typography — plus extensive travel) I get a thrill every time I am able to meld both references and skills into arresting visual solutions; the more arrows in your quiver, the better your chances at hitting the bullseye.

I live in Manhattan with my husband and our beloved son Jimmy Carter McPickles (a grey tabby) who apparently loves when I’m “singing” along to Blossom Dearie on Spotify or he’s wishing he could call the police.

We return to Greenspond for another installment of our Stories of Greenspond series. Recorded at two locations, the first continuing with our previous location in the fishing stage overlooking the cove behind Ida's Place, host Darren Sheppard interviews Rev. Deede and his wife Cynthia, who have made the visit to Greenspond annually for four decades, from New York State. They discuss their love for the island, its people, and religion. Then, it is off to Ship Island, and a visit with Linda White, to discuss the Greenspond Letter, where she shares publicly for the first time how she came up with the name (which involves political scandal),  her very popular Facebook group regarding the history of the island, and her work with the Memorial University archives.  One of our best shows yet, you must have a listen!
