Here’s my debut on the Outdoor Journal Radio Show. I’ll be back to co-host in the future — and I’ll be creating a few regular segments that I’ll be hosting as well. More on those once we get into production. Here is my intro to the show. I stick around afterwards to chime in from […]
Things have taken a turn for the busy here at Small Print. And there are some great television and radio gigs to keep things interesting. I’ve been taken aboard to write the scripts (on-location direction/narrative, post production voice-over, embedded ad material, etc.) for Fish’n Canada — Canada’s longest running and most-watched fishing/outdoors show on Global […]
Oh, the ethical dilemma… I regularly get emails that are meant for an ex-Congressman and former Mayor of Minneapolis, also named Donald Fraser. I’ve previously contacted him to let him know that I receive these misaddressed emails. I’ve never heard back. The latest one — received just now — is about “morality in media” and […]
You heard it here first folks. Actually, that’s not true. If you follow me on Facebook and Twitter, you probably heard it there first. In the early days of the Rob Ford “Crackgate” story, I was quick to point out that the Toronto media (in particular, the Star, but they were hardly alone in this […]

Krista, an educator and gardener extraordinaire, writes about pizza gardens for kids. She takes you through the process of planning your garden, picking and prepping your site, planting, and garden […]
Here’s a piece I wrote on the emergence of local lacrosse as a great sport option for kids. In it, I get to talk to National Lacrosse League scoring champ, Shawn Evans. A few excerpts: Calgary Roughnecks star, Shawn Evans, is currently leading the National Lacrosse League in scoring. Again. The Peterborough Native cut his […]
I’m not overly concerned that Doug Ford (allegedly) sold hash when he was a kid. Growing up in Markham, the scene was pretty much identical to the Ford’s Etobicoke. I’d be hard pressed to state that I didn’t know my fair share of Doug Ford types. Or visited where they lived. If I ever run […]
After two days of rain, the sun has come up. If I stand, carefully still, I can actually watch the grass grow. It seems like just Sunday that I spent two hours hacking it back. And now it stares at me, menacingly. Growing taller. Gaining strength. Moments ago, at the reaction to a loud popping […]
