Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

Greg Marchildon talks to Sandra Rollings-Magnusson about her book, Folklife and Superstition: The Luck, Lore and Worldviews of Prairie Homesteaders. The homesteading era on the Canadian Prairies (1867–1914) saw hundreds of thousands of migrants from northwestern and eastern Europe settle in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, seeking prosperity or fleeing hardship. Historian Sandra Rollings-Magnusson emphasizes the personal stories of these homesteaders, using archival sources to showcase their lives filled with humor, superstition, and resilience. She explores practices like water-witching and neighborly pranks, illustrating how they adapted to challenges and formed diverse communities. This blend of traditions created a unique Prairie culture, enriching our understanding of this significant period in Canadian history. Sandra Rollings-Magnusson is an Associate Professor of Sociology at MacEwan University with over thirty years of research on western Canadian homesteaders. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Regina and a PhD from the University of Alberta and has published numerous articles and three books on homesteading life.
