At "Shawn Anthony's Story Shop, Gas Bar and Take-Out", stories are shared at every visit, and told in the style that storyteller and essayist Shawn Anthony recalls from so many years ago in his Uncle's shop back on Fogo Island, Newfoundland.
Shawn recently published Apse The Gate, a collection of short stories about leaving and finding home. In this podcast, as in the book, he strives to make sense of it all, whether it's about relationships transitioning, or living in one place while loving another. Whatever the answer is, if there is an answer, on this podcast, it's always wrapped in a story.
So step right in and make yourself at home. Lean up against the counter if you want, or grab an empty bucket, turn it upside down and use it as a chair. And remember here on this podcast, like at my Uncle's shop "The gas is not cheap, the beer never goes on sale, but the stories are always free".

This is the Shop's first Christmas episode. I wanted share Christmas memories, from our "Newfoundland Christmas" that was annually hosted in Scarborough.
I decided to tell a story I call "Spot at the table". It's about how my parents would always find room for one more person at our table, regardless the holiday, regardless the reason they would be otherwise alone.
Without a doubt, cooking a meal for 14 people is complicated, but feeding just one or two more was never that big of a deal. In fact, it seemed quite simple actually.
In this episode, I did a story exchange with an old friend, Scott Simms. Scott was the MP for my home town of Fogo Island for 17 years. He just moved back to Newfoundland and is for the first time in 17 years, not returning after the holiday for Parliament. Between the stories, I get a chance to ask how Scott is doing, what his plans look like, what's next?
