I won something.

I don’t know what it is yet, but I get to fly to Chicago and everything just to find out.

And some other radio producers have won something too. There are sound clips of their pieces (and mine) up here.

So far, my favorite is Rhapsody in Bohemia. I think you can guess what that one’s about.

I am very excited about this.

So I was all set to write this post about how I would bet you almost everything I own that these little mountain goats would be better at interviews than me and that they would sound more articulate even when they were nervous and that with horns like that, they would feel confident walking into any room of the English Radio department at CBC, butting heads in style and impressing cultural programmers left and right.

But then, instead, I just heard back from Sarah who produces Wiretap with Jonathan Goldstein and she says that despite my sketchy and nervous interview this morning they would still like me to be their new intern! That is the coolest thing ever.

Along these lines, ever wondered what Jonathan Goldstein would sound like performing rather insulting spoken word over Sam Shalabi and his lute-like instrument? Well, he would sound something like this.
