My broadcasting work, like public speaking, is both personally rewarding and intellectually stimulating. The art and science of the sound byte is a skill I've consciously sought to cultivate in recognition of the power and impact it has in our society.
As a freelance journalist, I've been doing radio and television work for a decade and a half. I've worked for CFRB, Jazz FM, TVO, Global TV, CityTv, Rogers, OMNI, and MuchMusic. Presently, I regularly appear on CBC Radio, as well as weekly on CBC Newsworld.
While I relish the opportunity to speak and write in long form, being able to explain complex phenomena in a relatively short time frame allows me to get to the heart of an issue or subject, and provide insight that is intelligent and entertaining.
It's been a passion my entire life. When I was in grade school, I took Saturday school classes in television and radio production, organizing friends to do broadcasts that were heard by a handful of other friends via micro transmitters or cassette tapes. In University, I got involved in campus radio and media activism, while focusing on a degree in comparative and critical analysis.
Some of my Newsworld segments are archived on the cbc.ca website, and I've uploaded others over the years to YouTube:
From 2005 to 2007, I hosted an Interfaith television show called 3D Dialogue that was broadcast on the OMNI and Rogers networks. I've uploaded some of the show's segments. Here's a selection:
TVO's flagship show The Agenda has me on semi-regularly to talk about social media, virtuality, and other Internet subjects:
