Back to doing what I do best… making radio news programmes!

I’m freelancing at the CBC’s Toronto newsroom for the next month (and hopefully beyond!)

I am - as ever - open to story pitches, coffees, beers… Get in touch! [email protected]

Rolled out of bed with a husky voice and a minor hangover to talk to CBC Radio about being at Game 7 of the World Series last night… And what watching baseball means for a newcomer to Toronto:

I frequently booked Sir Geoff on radio programmes - he always answered the call with a smile in his voice. What a fascinating life. Always interesting to hear his thoughts on Edinburgh's colonial legacy. And his work on Henry Dundas is also felt here in Toronto.

I’m in Cape Town on holiday, and it was an honour to visit Nelson Mandela’s prison cell on Robben Island yesterday.
A former political prisoner showed us round, and it felt particularly meaningful to be there on the eve of Human Rights Day in South Africa.

I’m always interested by the intersection of politics and sport, and last night was one of those great sporting moments when everything just came together.
An overtime winner against your biggest rivals with… everything else going on in the background. Incredible scenes.
