Internet star and author of the bestselling book “Welcome to the Stupidpocalypse: Survival Tips for the Dumbageddon,” Stewart Reynolds, a.k.a. Brittlestar joined me on NewsTalk Tonight last night to talk about becoming an honorary Newfoundlander after getting “Screeched In” and kissing the cod. “Kissing the cod?” he said, “My wife Shannon said it was not much different than kissing me.”
On the Saturday September 30, 2023 episode of the Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Stewart Reynolds a.k.a. Brittlestar, a fifty-something social media star who bills himself as “The Internet’s Favourite Dad* (*unproven).” He has a massive following—his videos have been viewed over 650 million times on all the platforms—and done so without licking an airplane toilet seat, like viral video sensation Ava Louise, or posing provocatively on an OnlyFans page… yet. Today we’ll talk about his latest project, a new book called “Welcome to the Stupidpocalypse: Survival Tips for the Dumbageddon,” a collection of short comedic essays on politics, life, and more as a field guide for life.
Then, we’ll meet Emily Pohl-Weary, a writer and creative writing instructor at the University of British Columbia. Her previous books include YA novels Not Your Ordinary Wolf Girl and Strange Times at Western High and the poetry book Ghost Sick. Today we’ll talk about her latest novel “How to be Found,” a young adult novel about inner-city teens who live on a razor’s edge and understand that chosen family is just as important as blood.
