Hey Rozbloggists!!

So excited to let you know that Gonzo, a rabblerousing little mag published out of the interior of BC - just ran a story about our pilot for the CBC.

Pick up a copy if you can!

Cheers,

Roz

Hey gang!

Very excited to premiere the debut episode of ‘That’s Not Debateable’ - an original online series produced by myself, Kirby Ferguson of Goodie Bag fame, and the always amazing Steve Patterson.

Check it out here, on the Debaters YouTube page, or our Facebook fan group - but most importantly - let me know what you think!

Cheers!

Roz

Hey Rozbloggists!!

If you’re lucky enough to be in balmy Vancouver at this time of year… why don’t you head out and join the hilarious Steve Patterson, Harry Doupe, Bob Robertson, Linda Cullen and a whole lineup of great comics as they tape The Debaters LIVE in Vancouver, tomorrow night in Studio 40??!

Admission’s just a cash donation to the Food Bank, something that’s sure to get you on Santa’s ‘Nice’ list.

To attend, send an email to rsvp.vancouver@cbc.ca, and the team at the Debaters will do the rest.

Wish I was there… have fun!

Hey Rozbloggists!

I’m sitting at YVR, eating a hamburger and finishing up my presentation for tomorrow.

I’m so THRILLED to have been invited to speak to a room full of CBC journalists… about how to build a beat online.

Speakers during the day long session include Slate magazine Chief Political Correspondent John Dickerson, BBC veteran journalist and online news pioneer Alfred Hermida, CBC News Correspondent Susan Ormiston, CBC Radio 3’s John Paolozzi and Raincity Studios elite Kris Krug and Megan Cole.

Ummm.. pinch me??!

I’ll be doing the Grouse Grind on Saturday… stay tuned!

Leanne and I finally hit the streets today to put the finishing touches on Citizen Janes - the pilot! And I have to say, there is nothing more fun than yelling completely mundane things through a megaphone.

Wow. A real live video blog. I must have time on my hands. Enjoy rozbloggists!
