So as many of you now know, I’m in Qu\u00e9bec, Canada, at the moment, and was here when Scott Simon with NPR’s Weeked\u00a0Edition<\/em> called<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show’s senior producer, Ned Wharton, asked if I would mind stepping into the Radio Canada\/CBC broadcast house in Qu\u00e9bec City for a studio-to-studio interview. It’s perhaps a thirty minute drive from where I’m staying. I don’t think Ned wanted to inconvenience me, but little did he know that this radio geek has been itching to poke my head in that building for the past decade or more…Way cool!<\/p>\n

So, I stepped in.\u00a0 And it was a great experience.\u00a0 Want to see what the studio looks like?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The interview took place in a small recording studio.<\/p>\n

My recording booth at Radio-Canada\/CBC Qu\u00e9bec City<\/p><\/div>\n

Everything (the board) was controlled by NPR at the other end of the connection. All I had to do was adjust my monitor level. Not the best photo–the front-facing camera on my old iPhone 5 can’t handle low light–but here’s another studio shot…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After the interview, I stepped outside into the atrium and took shots of the radio studio entrance and the main atrium.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there was no one available to take me on a full tour as everyone was preparing afternoon shows. That’s okay, though, as I was excited just to get a peek in the studios! Great fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
