Really enjoyed this conversation with @mattgalloway.bsky.social

I really enjoyed @chrislhayes.bsky.social’s book The Siren’s Call. We spoke about attention as a finite resource, fame and his own mixed feelings about being a player in the attention economy, and Jenny Odell’s How To Do Nothing. And what Donald Trump wants with Canada. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Really appreciated this conversation with Matt Galloway of the CBC. We got to talk about tuberculosis, the implications of defunding USAID, and the future of the disease in a world where human health is not being prioritized. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Good morning Saskatoon! Hiked through the cold to chat with the fabulous Stephanie Massicotte.

CBC Radio's The Current with host @mattgalloway.bsky.social is recording an episode in Saskatoon tonight at the Broadway Theatre, with a live audience. I'm honoured and tickled to be the musical guest. It airs tomorrow morning at 8:37 in every time zone. Here we go Saskatoon!!! #Saskatchewan

Greetings from Saskatoon, where it feels like -28, the snow drifts are waist high but the trails along the river are plowed and loads of people are out biking and running and walking. Love it.
