Join us for an entertaining episode of "Don't Make it Weird," where we're thrilled to host Abby Simpson, a passionate Canadian writer and historical fiction enthusiast. We kick-start with a playful chat about oven settings and Canadian city hierarchies, sprinkled with Abby's witty Canada facts. Trust us, you'll be laughing as we take some good-natured jabs at cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Winnipeg.
Ever questioned the ancestry of American presidents or the authenticity of regional stereotypes? We've got you covered. This episode features a rollercoaster discussion on a conspiracy theory about American presidents' lineage and reveals Abby's quirky experiences as a die-hard Hanson fan. Her adventurous tale of a Hanson concert road trip to Detroit is filled with unexpected twists, including border crossing mishaps that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Lastly, we pivot to a more scholarly vibe as Abby dives into the intricate craft of writing historical fiction. Get insights into her novel "The Dragon and the Butterfly," and the meticulous research required to bring historical figures like Matilda of Flanders to life. As we debate the best form of potato and explore the international expansion of Tim Hortons, Abby’s humor and storytelling prowess shine through.
