Woah. I got to work thru 2019 with some heroes. Then we won a trophy?! #TheCoup was a total joy to make. Proud of the whole team for making something that was funny & rigorous, with something to say. “It’s about advertising, but really it’s about everything,” right? @CanPodAwards

@RTO_Foundation Is there a way to join the presentation once it's live? Or if not, will a recording be posted? Thanks for hosting this!

[Chris Connolly @connollychris]

@jtandebibiana Appreciate the share, Jason! It’s the kick in the ass I need to up my Twitter cred, which has reached historic lows 🙃

@camillericketts @NotionHQ Camille, hello! You’ve got a long list here, but please reach out for a Canadian writer who splits the diff between journalism and UX. On the plus side, my team just won a Cdn Podcast Award. Then again, my partner has requested I stop talking about Notion. https://t.co/HMh3oSQWzA

Re-upping this list of Black women who are writers, hosts and otherwise creative in Canada. Thank you @Nanaaba, who put it together. Hire these people all the time, not just when things are particularly traumatic. https://t.co/NUWuVMg5Dg

@onthemedia consistently gives me some meaning to hold onto. Today: how our perception of time is being exposed as manufactured. It’s like: Of course we’re crying. We’ve lost the future.

Just now listening to last year’s #CRUDE series from @Canadaland #Commons ⁦@ArshyMann⁩ Gripping storytelling & reporting on the national history of oil & gas, nuanced and unflinching. Two episodes in and it’s, uh, not great bedtime listening https://t.co/IgoMwzoINk

No one structures a #story better than #radio nerds. And they’re generous with their time to boot (Thanks, @iamjessshane!) All communicators could learn a thing or ten from the collab editing of these radio wizards 🙏🏻 #storytelling

[Jess Shane @iamjessshane]

I hung out with the wonderful @alexkapelman last week to talk about teaching strategies. He rattled off this useful step-by-step strategy for editing student work. I thought it was great so whipped it into a lil mind-map to share with y'all 🎉 Thanks Alex + enjoy!

As a lifetime basketball fan, processing the sad end to Kobe’s life (and others) has been complicated. And I’m grateful for the brave, honest & compassionate editorial from @espn’s @SarahSpain. A call to remember it all, incl those pained by his legacy https://t.co/jV99jFJdsu
