Here's the second of a few interviews I did for the now defunct The Human Interest Hour Podcast. Like the Farbsy interview, this is more general, based on the guest's background. In this case, the guest is the thoughtful and forthcoming Adam Bunch. He's a Toronto historian, author, and educator, among other things. We chat a bit about how he got into history in general, the history of Toronto, and...

Bonus Thursday episode for ya here. It was originally recorded as an episode of the doomed podcast The Human Interest Hour -- doomed because I was at the helm of it and apparently I can only handle one project at a time. Sometimes not even that. So!? I'm collapsing regular interviews I do into YWS as bonus episodes. If you don't care about these general interviews, just ignore them! But I promise...
