Young author Léa Taranto joins Shane Hewitt and the Nightshift to discuss her debut novel, A Drop in the Ocean, which draws from her experiences overcoming severe OCD during her teenage years in various psychiatric wards. Léa describes some of the "rituals" she had to overcome, including holding her breath when exiting a vehicle until she reached her destination and feeling compelled to overtake anyone walking or running faster than her. Even in private, she struggled to resist the urge to run on a treadmill at its highest setting. Find A Drop in the Ocean at Arsenal Pulp Press 

From earth to outer space, Elaina Hyde is the Director, Allan I Carswell Observatory, a professor of Physics & Astronomy at York University. She joins the Nightshift to help us look at the moon, more accurately the Strawberry Moon and when it will illuminate the Nightshift sky! She also tells us about astronomical events in June we can look forward to!
