The Harasen Line
The book is about a Saskatchewan broadcaster and his experiences and the people he met as an open line commentator. A program conducted by Lorne Harasen and known as The HARASEN LINE was just 25 minutes long when it began and grew to four and a half hours in length. It recorded some of the highest audience ratings in Saskatchewan radio history. PIERRE ELLIOT TRUDEAU, BING CROSBY, COLIN THATCHER, BEN WICKS and WAYNE & SHUSTER were just some of his guests. It was carried on CKCK radio and then CKRM radio in Regina. Topics ranged from sex to sports, medical questions to agriculture. Listeners were rarely impartial on the topic of Lorne Harasen. Most either loved him or hated him but as broadcaster, Doug Alexander once said, you couldn’t ignore him.

The Time of the Tans
'The Black and Tans [raises voice] raided my aunt's house where my mother was in bed at three o'clock in the morning ... I was due to be born three days later ... she got a stroke of paralysis and lost the power of all her left side. So I never saw my mother walk ... she could get around with the aid of a chair.'Stories of the Black and Tans have been told across Ireland since the force was first released into the country in March 1920.

Storytelling on the Northern Irish Border
A folklorist explores the storytelling traditions of a small Irish town where local character anecdotes build community across sectarian divides. More than quaint local color, folklore is a crucial part of life in Aghyaran, a mixed Catholic-Protestant border community in Northern Ireland. Neighbors socialize during wakes and ceilis—informal nighttime gatherings—without regard to religious, ethnic, or political affiliation. The witty, sometimes raucous stories swapped on these occasions offer a window into Aghyaran residents’ views of self and other in the wake of decades of violent conflict. Through anecdotes about local characters, participants explore the nature of community and identity in ways that transcend Catholic or Protestant sectarian histories. Ray Cashman analyzes local character anecdotes in detail and argues that while politicians may take credit for the peace process in Northern Ireland, no political progress would be possible without ordinary people using shared resources of storytelling and socializing to imagine and maintain community.
