Top 3 Webnation episodes – Goodbye Citytv
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
Hi. This past Friday I officially resigned from Citytv (I say “officially” because I resigned in October to pursue other freelance projects, but promises of hosting a national version of Webnation vs. doing daily news stories sucked me in and kept me around). Last week Rogers decided they no longer want to do the show, but the offer to stay and do news stories was still on the table. I walked. OK, I ran, and maybe I jumped a little in excitement. I’m just saying. Freedom is a good thing, right? There are more boring details to the departure, but just imagine a bad TV newsroom drama set in Toronto.
For the past couple of months I’ve been working part-time on a project for Tony Robbins (and having a blast), so I expect to do more of that in 2008 (and, of course, my podcasts are still going strong). I am also keen to give Webnation life somewhere else, so if you’re in the market for a new media news show with a dedicated online following and a (small but swift) die-hard team, email me. The show also just won Top New Podcast Award for 2007 on iTunes, so we are all like proud parents (minus the diaper-changing part).
I’m pasting my top three favourite Webnation episodes below, which include interviews with comedian Andy Samberg, sex blogger Violet Blue, and citizen journalist Josh Wolf. I’d like to say that I’m posting them here so that you can all watch them again, but who am I kidding?! As some of you know, creating a demo reel is a pain in the rear end, so this is my online resume of sorts. FYI – my resume is here.
I am off to San Francisco this week for some TR work and meetings, should be fun to get back to my old stomping ground. Thanks to everyone for all your Webnation support and link love.
Oh, and a belated Happy New Year! Let’s have an awesome 2008.
