We hope to make more Portable Radio Point of View episodes on news stories that matter to us. Our next regular episode of Portable Radio should be ready in a week or two.
Guess What? CBC Radio’s Ottawa Morning (91.5FM) liked this segment so much they played it on their show on November 29. You hear CBC hosts Kathleen Petty and John Hancock comment on our work.

Latest podcast on the hockey brawl was OUTSTANDING. Kids thoroughly knew the subject matter and their comments were RIGHT ON! Well done to all. Even listened to it on CBC morning radio today. They were right – these kids should be professional sportscasters! Had the folks in the office listen as well and the comments were along the same lines. “well thought out,” “accurate,” “Great Job!”
