Welcome to Naut For Everyone, hosted by the incomparable Sheri-D Wilson! In this powerful episode, Sheri-D shares a rich and heartfelt conversation with Eugene Stickland—award-winning playwright, poet, and lifelong storyteller.

From his early days in the prairies to national acclaim on Canada’s stages, Eugene offers a glimpse into the inner workings of a creative life shaped by music, memory, and meaning. Together, Sheri-D and Eugene explore:

• Why rhythm and cadence are at the heart of great writing
• How mentorship, mental health, and place shape a writer’s voice
• The making of Lack of Rain, his haunting new novel based on family history
• The beauty (and chaos) of theatre, language, and grasshopper swarms
• What it means to keep creating—especially when it would be easier to stop

This episode is both hilarious and deeply moving, filled with laughter, literary wisdom, and the kind of real talk that reminds us why stories matter.
