Mouse Munchies Podcast: Cheesy Snacks

Bonjour, music fans! Somali-Canadian rapper K'naan's song "Wavin' Flag" was chosen as one of the anthems of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. To drum up excitement about the soccer tournament, FIFA flew K'naan all over the world-- to more than 80 countries over the course of four months-- to perform his song. As K'naan is a fan of the CBC, he recorded travel diaries along the way and sent us back the raw material. I was given the task of wading through the raw content to produce a musical soundscape for use across Canada on CBC Radio One and Radio 2. While I made dozens of these types of packs, this was a real favourite.

This is a piece I reported on for CBC Radio One's national news show, "The World This Weekend." It's a little dispatch about the first ever team from the Caribbean to compete at a major international competition in the sport of rugby. They were great guys, and this was a fun story to put together.

This is the audio portion of my web article/audio column published by The Globe And Mail. It's a response to the news that the recording industry in Canada was (and is) blocking entry of the Pandora online music service into our country. I drew on my experiences as a producer at CBC Radio 2, an anecdote from my visit to NPR headquarters in Washington, and from my extreme passion for the subject.

This is a scene piece I produced for All In A Day, the afternoon show on CBC Radio One in Ottawa. It's a profile of Bert's Bar in Barbados-- a sports bar owned by Eugene Melnyk, owner of the Ottawa Senators hockey team-- and the fans who gathered there on the opening night of the team's 19th season.

In the debut episode of the Fans of DCD Podcast, Amy Bowring (DCD's director of collections and research) describes the life of Vaudeville dancer Evelyn Geary. With tales of lurking truancy officers, 100-hour work weeks en pointe... and unpaid rehearsal time, Geary's story tells us the Vaudeville era wasn't always glitz and high kicks. Thanks to her donated contracts, scrapbooks, notebooks calculating rates of pay, photos and interviews, Friends of DCD can get a peek into a life of a Canadian dancer in the 1920s.

Friends of DCD Podcast MINI-Episode 1.5: MINI-edit of Evelyn Geary, Portrait of a Vaudeville Dancer

This is a piece I produced about the Barbados Hash House Harriers for The World This Weekend on CBC Radio One. Reporting on it involved slogging through knee-deep gulleys, picking burrs out of my armpits, interviewing a sheep, and getting doused in a beer shower at the end of the day... all while trying to keep my recording equipment dry and functioning! It was great exercise and an amazing way to experience the landscape. I was very glad for the opportunity to meet the group of wonderfully welcoming and devoted hashers, too. I do believe I'll be running with them again-- next time, I'll leave the minidisc recorder at home. On on!
