M2M goes Olympics

This week on M2M, Sarah Hyde and I trade woes and wows about the Olympics. We put our red mitts and recorders into the mix and talk about the fine balance between telling Olympic stories and being a part of them.

I talk to John Douglas, a poet activist at the former Tent City on 58 W Hastings who gives me one of the best Olympic moments I could hope for: a poetry reading smack dab in the middle of soggy, red tents.  The Creative Director of Northern House answers a few of my questions as myself along with clusters of people gawk at a volunteers “pin-scarf” (she’s auctioning off about 10 pounds worth of international pins to benefit a youth centre in Inuvuk). And I approach some people on the streets to find out what they think of all-this-Olympics, turns out they think it’s pretty awesome.

take a listen.
