ABOUT THIS EPISODE:In this episode, Megan Cole talks to Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas about his book Carpe Fin: A Haida Manga, which is nominated for the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize. In this conversation Megan and Michael talk about the role community and relationships play in his writing and how he plays with the gutters of graphic books.ABOUT MICHAEL NICOLL YAHGULANASS:Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas challenges native stereotypes through illustrative story telling. The stories of the trickster Raven, as told by Yahgulanaas, are what most people would call comics, and they are fun, humorous and sometimes rude. Yahgulanaas takes traditional Haida stories and turns them into manga (Japanese-style comics). He has dropped the traditional rectangular boxes and voice balloons associated with the North American comics of Marvel and DC. Instead, he has developed a flowing style that uses a bold line stretched almost to the breaking point – a motif strongly associated with Haida art – to link the images in the narrative.ABOUT MEGAN COLE:Megan Cole the Director of Audience Development for the BC and Yukon Book Prizes. She is also a writer based in Powell River, British Columbia. She also works at the Powell River Public Library as the teen services coordinator where she gets to combine her love for books and writing with a love for her community. Megan has worked as a freelance journalist and is working on a memoir which tackles themes of gender and mental health.

Writing The S2 Episode 16: Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas talks how manga inspires his books

In Episode Two of the Coaching Youth Football podcast we talk to Michael Nicoll of Brentwood Youth AFC about the practice of moving players up and down within a club, and much more. Brentwood Youth have a philosophy of 'football for all' and in this episode Michael talks about a lot of the good work that is going on at the club. Moving players between teams, both up and down, is a strategy that the club use to deliver the right level of challenge for every player. We talked about how communication and a shared vision is so important between players, parents, club and coach, and some of the strategies Brentwood use to foster that environment. We would love you to join the conversation on the Facebook page or Twitter thread, as this podcast is by youth coaches for youth coaches, and we can all learn more by sharing thoughts, opinions and ideas. ---  Please follow us!
