Katie Rox with KP Wee - CJSF 90.1 FM

Here is an interview with Katie Rox.

The interview was recorded back in January, and since then, there have been a couple of updates about Katie, which I've updated in the segment. One of those updates is quite interesting: With help from fans on Twitter, she wrote a love song on Valentine's Day, which she posted here.

Adrian Brijbassi with KP Wee - CJSF 90.1 FM

Even though I'm juggling a full-time job with a few other things, I had a chance to produce the following show for CJSF 90.1 FM, an interview with Vacay.ca's Adrian Brijbassi, which aired today.

Here is the interview.

Adrian shares an anecdote about the restaurant in New Orleans which sets a table for a ghost named Antoine, and he also reads out a couple of award-winning articles, "Chasing the Big Five" and "Beauty and the Beach."

I also got Adrian to enlighten the listeners about some myths regarding travel writing.
