Foundation Forward was an interesting Podcast project invited by the Anglican Foundation of Canada, and conceived by then-Executive Director Canon Judy Rois. It was a 10-episode exploration of the subject of Generosity featuring authors, activists, clergy and community guests from across Canada having some special perspective on the topic, and culminating with a special episode featuring children from across Canada for International Children’s Day.

Choral View Radio was the Spring 2020 COVID-19 pandemic rehearsal substitute for my three choirs at the time, the Georgetown Choral Society & Marion Singers, and for Rosedale Presbyterian Church‘s weekly Friday Virtual Service Bulletin musical content serving the Choir and Congregation.

“GENRE IMPLOSION” was the title of my final Thesis project in the Master of Arts in Music Criticism at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and it included a 20-episode radio series on CFMU 93.3 FM that aired from November 2005 to April 2006, and that surveyed listeners on their experience of what I ambiguously called Musical Genre – a system, construction or phenomenon.  My completed M.A. Thesis, the Radio Show home page, and some of my academic papers and public talks published before and since will reside on this page.
