In this episode we talk to a man who’s name cannot be revealed because the job he does is illegal. — That job, “Poster-er”: As in the person who actually goes around and puts up all of the posters on street poles for so many of the music show here in Montreal. For five years now he has been doing this job and over the course of that time he has put up literally thousands of posters and collected as many stories. Life on the streets has forced him up against the police, the cold, rival posterers, and even the homeless at times. This story is one of the funnest and truly unique shows we have even brought to you, we hope you enjoy it.
