Thanks folks!
In more good news - Dan (and his best friend MJ) are on the cusp of having a new book published! It isn't 100 percent certain but we are just in the process of waiting on word from his publisher about the final decision to publish. I'll let you know when the contract is finalized. They (and me too) are VERY excited about it. It will be Dan's 10th book and her FIRST book!๐๐๐ฅ๐พ

The people doing the podcast are coming down from Ottawa to do it at our home on September 5th (9 am). I don't know if that means it will be "live" at that time but I do know folks can download it from iTunes, Spotify, Google etc. They told us they have over a million hits for their podcasts (whatever that means) and apparently that's quite a following.
Dan's busy now preparing for the interview! It's been years since he wrote the book so he has to brush up on some details just to be prepared.

The interview went really well and the podcast finally was put up and has been gathering an audience. One aftereffect of the podcast was it stimulated apparently renewed interest in making Dan's book into a movie. On Dan's royalty cheque this year was a personal note from his publisher saying there had been renewed interest and that he will be in touch if there are further developments.

Good one QZ! ๐คฃ๐
Dickens: he writes Canadian aviation history/biography books mainly, but the book that the podcast was about is a biography about Canada's only World Heavyweight Boxing Champion - Tommy Burns. It's now considered to be the gold standard of biographies of the man. He has 9 books published. He and our close friend have also co-authored a manuscript about her father's life in the navy but haven't found a publisher yet (COVID19 interference).
