So I don’t really care much about football, but even I enjoyed that clip showing the miami dolphins’ victory… but its quite misleading… football is rarely ever that exciting.
Have you guys noticed the new segment, “The Backstory”… Iam pretty sure its just a revamped version of “the set-up,” but I like it. Definately a better [...]
Dr Abdullah Abdullah, “Pinball” Clemons and more!
The Hour from December 3rd – Bateman and Good from Vancouver
Oh yes, George and The Hour are in Vancouver, and look at him play the role of city boy being lost in the wilderness and becoming a bit ferral. Yes it is wonderful B.C. and a place that is close to my heart, but the city is exciting too, Strombo. It is a place of [...]
AJ Jacobs, Deborah Harry and Tree Houses
I had never heard of AJ Jacobs before this interview. I am now wanting to read more of his work, or at least, learn much more about him. Choosing topics that he can throw himself into, choosing to live his life as close as possible to the word of the Bible [...]

Diana Krall – Dull Yet Energized
Sept 18 2007 episode
Sorry for not posting last night, folks! I was hoping that some of the other contributors would post since I missed most of last nights episode.
I did catch the Diana Krall interview, which I thought was terribly uninteresting…. And it was mostly her fault, not George’s. He asked many interesting questions, but [...]
