Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the production line
Today was National Doughnut Day, which in itself is a cause for celebration.
But the day was made even better because Krispy Kreme Canada was giving away free doughnuts at their stores.
Because free doughnuts are amazing I spoke to Krispy Kreme’s Kelcey Hamaker about why they were doing it.
Giving out doughnuts has an origin that goes back almost a hundred years.

Sarah explained how in a new column for Consequence Of Sound this has been going on forever and it’s not that big a deal.

He really dislikes them.
I explained a bit about his new song and video and why he feels this way for Samaritan Mag.

Danko Jones and Lemmy from Motorhead
Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister is one of the most legendarily hard-living, hard-drinkers in rock ‘n’ roll history.
Danko Jones is not a hard-living, hard-drinking rock ‘n’ roller.
Except when he’s hanging out with Lemmy.
Danko told me what it’s like to have a few jack-and-cokes with the Motorhead singer in a story for Noisey.
