Miranda Hanus
Things are suspiciously quiet at the Typo Wiener offices lately. What is this, the corner of Silent St. and Inaction Avenue? It’s been a month since we got a submission. We’ll just assume we haven’t had any typos in the paper since July and move forward…
But WAIT! Eagle-eyed reader Miranda Hanus spotted a boo-boo in last issue’s film section! Jorge Castillo’s review of The Souvenir mentions “…Julie, a gifted, sheltered film mayor struggling to figure out her thesis.” “Mayor”? Well, that’s a “major” mistake (HAW HAW). Miranda wins a Typo Wiener T-shirt, a couple shiny Prairie Dog buttons and what I think was our last copy of gillian harding-russell’s poetry collection In Another Air, courtesy of Typo Wiener sponsor Radiant Press (radiantpress.ca).
Who is Miranda? Miranda is a big a podcast fan. “My favourites include Missing Richard Simmons, Reply All and the Mental Illness Happy Hour, and of course, CBC’s Somebody Knows Something and Uncover,” she says. “As a former broadcast reporter, I’d really like to produce my own someday.”
A cat-mom to Siamese cross Loki, Miranda is known to visit Excalipurr Cat Café. I hear that’s a good place to read poetry.
Congratulations, Miranda!
