The Stinkwater Escapee: Season 1 — Recorded Live at Artspace

H Jacob Buller — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 14:31:32 GMT

On June 7, I brought The Stinkwater Escapee to the Manitoba Writers’ Guild Artspace venue in Winnipeg for its Season 1 chapbook book launch and media event.

The afternoon included readings from the published book, chapters beyond the book, history behind the creation of Stinkwater, appearances from some of its odd institutions, and the peculiar sort of promotional material one might expect from Ankerton.

The complete event recording is now available.

This is a recording of a live presentation, so you’ll hear some of the room along with the program, but the full event, including the slides and audio presentations, has been preserved.

Running time: approximately 77 minutes.

Thank you again to everyone who attended, helped organize the event, bought a book, listened, laughed, or followed The Stinkwater Escapee through Mudwater Mutters.
