The Tideline, with Tara Thorne
Tara is an artist and recovering journalist based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her 20-year career has largely been split between Halifax alt-weekly The Coast and as a cultural columnist and film critic for CBC Information Mornings in Halifax, Saint John, and Moncton, until 2019 and 2020, respectively. With Jacob Boon she hosts Box Office Bylines, a podcast about journalism movies, and with Adam Nimmo produces the web series Drummer to Drummer. Currently she’s in pre-production on her first feature film, Compulsus, which is part of the 2020-21 Telefilm Talent to Watch program. Sometimes you can find her leading the rock band Dance Movie, which is working on its new album.

Episode 2
Tara catches up with hip hop artist Lance Sampson aka Aquakultre, who's been poised for a big year since winning CBC Searchlight in 2018, only to find his release date smack in the middle of quarantine. Last week he put out another album, with DJ Uncle Fester, a rap effort featuring the cream of the Sipset crew (and reaching for Tara's Simpsons-loving heart by calling it Bleeding Gums Murphy). He talks about both journeys as well as the concept of paying it forward, musically and in life. Plus: Neptune Theatre becomes a cinema for a run of the Nova Scotia feature Splinters.
