TPS314: TPS Update: Letterkenny Live & New Book Release

This week on The Produce Stand, we take a break from our Don Cherry coverage because there is simply too much happening in the YEWniverse.

Joining Al, Tanya and Victor are TPS Degens Kassie, Jeff, Mike and Tobias, who can now add “published author” to their résumés. They’re contributors to the newly released Get After It Then: Essays on the Themes and Charms of Letterkenny, edited by Tobias and featuring a foreword by Al.

We talk with Tobias about how the book came together before hearing from several contributors about their chapters, covering everything from hockey culture and women in the sport to growing up American with a love for Canada and the surprising depth hiding beneath Letterkenny’s dick and fart jokes.

But first, there’s some rather massive news: Letterkenny Live is returning! We break down the newly announced 2027 tour, the returning cast and what that tantalizing promise of “new material” might mean for the future of Letterkenny.

Plus, we discuss Tim Cherry’s revealing interview about why Jared Keeso almost didn’t get to play Don Cherry.

It’s a celebration of Letterkenny, its fans and the community that somehow turned a TV show about a small Ontario town into a published book.
