Back in 2010 I started a podcast called SMS on Perpetual Radio Networks. The show was mostly about social media and featured guests such as Mitch Joel andDave Fleet. Earlier this year I came to an agreement with Girth Radio to launch a new show on their burgeoning radio station. I'm calling the show Welcome! Welcome! is going to be a show featuring many of Toronto's (and anyone who visits Toronto) innovative and creative people. Expect to hear conversations with digital strategists, musicians, entrepreneurs, city builders, artists and many more. As I re-learn my hosting and interviewing skills and learn new production skills I am inviting a number of my friends on the program. My first guest was Karim Awad. Karim is an entrepreneur, designer, teacher, artist and award winning deejay. He's up to some amazing things. Some he was able to reveal on the show. Others you'll have to watch out for.
