Table Talk with Dee Lysak
This podcast, Table Talk with Dee Lysak, invites you to the eastern shores of Lake of the Woods with miles and miles of shoreline, ancient rock, and 14,522 islands. This is the Laurentian Plateau. Imagine yourself here, sitting with friends and family, around a kitchen table: listening. The stories are mine, to write and to tell. And, the tales - mostly fact, some fiction are centred around all that it means to be Canadian in an ever-changing world. The past will help us know where we came from and the present will ground us in our shared reality. I trust the words, all knitted together, will illustrate the world we live in. And, if we choose to act - individually or collectively: we can imagine and build an even better one. Life moves so quickly. Thank you for spending some unhurried minutes, with me - Dee Lysak.

This music essay is the first episode in Season Two of Table Talk with Dee Lysak. In this episode we hear I NEED ANGELS by the incredible singer-songwriter, Adrian Sutherland. I was first introduced to the soulful wonder that is Adrian Sutherland when Midnight Shine played at the Moose n' Fiddle Music Festival in Nestor Falls, Ontario, Canada.
Music helps us explore our innermost feelings and at times our deepest and darkest thoughts. Music also brings us all together and inspires us to see the world we live and imagine an even better one. Here in the Lake of the Woods region, we are surrounded by a beauty that is unsurpassed. And, in that idyllic landscape the hardships of everyday life can often be overlooked or even denied. If you or someone you know is struggling...with thoughts of suicide or suicide-related behaviour, help is available.
