I’ve started doing some hosting on CBC Radio 3. It’s a great place to listen to and discover Canadian music. It’s also a cool online community. I’m on again tomorrow (Tuesday, Aug 17) from 10AM-2PM E.S.T. You can listen in and join the conversation at CBC Radio 3, or on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 86.
I will be sitting in with the lovely and talented Craig Norris for The Craig Norris Hour from 10am-2pm E.S.T. Thursday morning. Craig’s a funny guy, and I think we’re on the same wavelength. Please join us. You can listen to the show on Sirius channel 86, or if you’re one of those lucky people who have access to a computer, you can just click on CBC Radio 3.
And while we’re on CBC, don’t forget to check out the comedy segment I put together. Subscribe to CBC’s The Know-It-Alls.
This week it’s a mixed bag of stuff including:

Imagine a country that boasts about prudent financial management while blowing through a $13-billion surplus on the way to a $47-billion deficit. That country is now this country.
Imagine a country where a political operative puts fork-tongued words in a top general’s mouth. That country is now this country.
Imagine a country that refuses to fund the same safe abortions to poor women abroad as it provides at home. That country is now this country.
