November 26, 2011 To the south: a Thanksgiving doc

I spent the last couple of days searching for Americans, and then finding out what they’re going to do for Thanksgiving. In the process, I tried to solve a few mysteries, including why football is a big part of Thanksgiving (Who knows, football is part of everything in the US, apparently.) Okay, and was left [...]

November 15, 2011 A Mexican romance

Here’s a slow burn by one of my favourite Danish bands, Quadron. I don’t know what they’re saying, but in my mind, it’s a tale of tragic romance. Maybe in Mexico, thus the trumpet and that guy’s festive shirt. Otherwise, here’s a radio clip I made the other day for our radio show. I spoke [...]

April 21, 2011 kid reporter

I’m trying to play around with audio a bit more, so here’s a mini interview (I interviewed them, then they interviewed me) with Alec (5) and Caitlin (3) at Aboriginal Family Day a few weeks ago. This is a short one, but as you can tell, they have plenty of opinions on everything from favourite [...]
