I'm pleased to announce that this Friday evening, July 25, CBC Radio One will be re-broadcasting 'Buttons for Isha' as part of their best of series.
In addition 'Deep Breathing', an account of my (now former) national freediving record, will air once again at 11:45 am August 4th.
Love to hear your feedback. Meantime both pieces are accessible online in Real Audio via: http://www.perrygladstone.com/radio.html

The Typewriter King
Like his father, John Mathias is known as the typewriter king of Sherbrooke, Quebec. He owns the Mathias Typewriter Exchange - a couple of small rooms on Wellington Street that are crammed with typewriters, some made in the 1800's. For 50 years, John has been selling and repairing Royals, Olivers, IBM's and more. As Dan Cochrane discovered, John likes telling stories almost as much as caring for his collection of antique typewriters.
Buttons
The passion of Usher Herman for buttons and lace, manifest over five-generations. Narrators: his great-great granddaughter, five-year old Isha Pelrine and his great grandson, Perry Gladstone, aged 30-something.
