The longest episode of RadioZoom yet, I take a look at the tornados that tore up the downtown area of Iowa City. I used to live and work in this city. Paul Flahive is a former co-worker of mine who sent me audio from some of the recordings he captured for use in the weekend program. I run some of those pieces as well as some raw audio that he sent along as well.

Thanks also goes out to David Henderson, an intern at WSUI who collaborated with Paul in the collection of this audio.

Sorta just started recording this one with only a few notes prepared. I find that allows you to just ramble on when you’re not paying attention. We discuss some current events in the Vancouver area, talk about the Canucks in the Hockey Talk portion, and discover what the rule of “icing” is about in Learning Hockey w/ Uncle John. Towards the end, I also detail my plan about an ongoing idea/feature that I will create for the podcast from now on.

Life is unscripted, and so is this. We’ll chat a little about me loaning my talents out for free and how that is keeping me busy while I wait for paperwork to go through with the government. Rebecca and I are off on a trip into the interior tomorrow, the Okanagan being our destination. Wrap up this episode with hockey talk about the Canucks and the rough road to the playoffs.

There is more information about the BC Ferries sinking of the Queen of the North that I update briefly. The Vancouver Sun is running a series of articles about podcasting, so I take a moment to share what they are covering and my thoughts about what they have wrote. We’ll do some Hockey Talk and wrap up with some email regarding the feedback I’ve been asking for.

A ferry sank yesterday off the coast of British Columbia. I take a moment to provide some insight to the incident. In the second portion of today’s episode, you get to go on a ride with me in the car as I drive in a car by myself for only the second time that I’ve been living in Vancouver. All my apologies for the quality, but I promise to not make the same mistake next time.
