Corinne Wasilewski, whose interview with Alden Nowlan appears in our current Autumn 2017 issue, was a guest on CBC New Brunswick's afternoon show Shift on November 29. Listen to the interview here.
On March 5, 1983, two high-school students, Corinne Shriver (pictured on the left with Nowlan) and Carmen McKell, interviewed Alden Nowlan months before he died. We're pleased to present the audio version of the interview here. To see Corinne Schriver Wasilewski’s introduction and a transcript of the full interview verbatim, click here.
