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]
@ahmednadar Hi Ahmed - Finlay from the CBC here. I just sent you a query through your website. If you could take a look and get back to me, that would be great. Thanks!
@YousraElbagir Hi Yousra - Finlay from the CBC in Toronto here. I sent you an email about this event, if you could take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!
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.
Join me from 10am GMT every Sunday @solarradio for an hour of quality Northern Soul memories, all played off original 45s! Here’s a little sneak preview of a couple of the memories I’ve included in Sunday’s programme. Have you downloaded the free Solar Radio app yet?
