We’re giving away a $250 co-op bookshop voucher this Sunday morning on my radio show, Canvas, on FBI 94.5.

Along with a bunch of other prizes (here) and the warm fuzzy feeling you get from keeping this great radio station on the air, at the end of the show, someone’s gotta get the dollar-packed book voucher.

This weekend, we’ve got Simon Rann, actor, dancer and puppeteer, on his role in Philippe Genty’s Lands End. Plus Max Rapley and Steph Iredale stop by for a lowdown on Sydney Uni’s Verge Arts Festival. We’ll also be talking to Greg Shapely, curator of the Sound of Failure festival, and hearing the sounds of Marley Dawson and Chris Hanrahan’s dirt bike extravaganza ECR.

That’s 10am ’til noon, 94.5 or fbiradio.com, call on 8 33 22 945.
