Celebrate David Lynch’s legacy this April.
I’m excited to provide filmed introductions for Cineplex’s new series, “Room to Dream: A David Lynch Retrospective.”
The Cionepolex Classic Film Series will be screening 7 of the masterful director’s films, including “Blue Velvet,” “Eraserhead,” “Lost Highway” and “Wild at Heart.”
See it in select theatres starting April 4. Click HERE for showtimes.
On the Saturday April 5, 2025 edition of The Riuchard Crouse Show we’ll meet writer, radio host, television personality, and public speaker Bee Quammie. She was the co-host of the Kultur’D podcast on Global News Radio and is a regular guest on The Social. Her writing has been featured in publications including The Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, Chatelaine, Ebony, Flare, and Hazlitt among others, and covers topics spanning race and culture to parenthood to health and wellness.
Her latest project is “The Book of Possibilities,” which shows us how small acts of bravery and paying careful attention to our inner voice can open up a world of opportunity and lead to a fulfilling life.
Then, we get to know British novelist Natasha Brown. Her debut novel “Assembly” was shortlisted for many awards and she was named one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists in 2023 and one of the Observer’s Best Debut Novelists in 2021.
Her new novel “Universality” tells the story of a young journalist who sets out to uncover a murder mystery and winds up drawing connections between an unsympathetic banker landlord, a larger-than-life columnist, and a radical anarchist movement. She solves the mystery, but what she uncovers unearths a deeper web of questions.
Elle calls “Universality” an “instant classic,” and “The Bookseller” calls it “a pin-sharp, savagely funny tale of class, wealth and manipulation.”

On the Saturday March 29, 2025 episode of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll spend some time with Rik Emmett.
He is a solo artist, a guitarist, a poet, a song writer, a teacher, a Canadian Music Industry Hall of Famer who is probably best known as the co-singer and guitar player of Triumph, the gold and nine platinum selling rock trio who lit up radios in the 70s and 80s.
Rik left Triumph in 1988 to pursue a solo career, and released records in a variety of styles, including rock, blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass, and flamenco. He’s he won the Canadian Smooth Jazz Award for Guitarist of the Year and now has written a new book called “Ten Telecaster Tales: Liner Notes for a Guitar and Its Music,” available now wherever you buy fine books.
In the book Rik delves into the creative process — the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording.
Then we’ll meet Hill Kourkoutis, a multi-hyphenate, award-winning songwriter and producer, who recently earned a well-deserved JUNO Award nomination for the Recording Engineer of the Year Award. This recognition comes for her work on “Ghost” by Sebastian Gaskin and “Should We” by Emi Jeen.
