Watch your grammar on this week's episode of The Tingles! Our hosts Bob and Mike welcome Kara Kilfoil, professor of English at Saint Francis Xavier University, mother of three teens and fan of all things Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip.

Kara's journey from Musquodoboit to Calgary and eventually back to her home province is dotted with musical adventures, from her discovery of cool new music at Cafe Ole in Halifax (where she may have seen Bob's old band) to Red Rocks Amphitheatre (where she definitely did not) and countless shows and experiences in between.

Kara puts her PhD to work as we discuss lyrics as poetry and the transcendent nature of the right song at the right moment. We also talk vinyl collections and of course, Gord Downie. Join us for another excellent musical adventure on Episode 27 of The Tingles.
