Pecha Kucha is a talk format with pretty intense restrictions: each speaker must design exactly 20 sides, and each slide is shown for exactly 20 seconds. The presenter has no control over the timing of the slides; practice is key. A couple weeks go I spoke at PK Winnipeg, and the good folks behind Indie Game: The Movie recorded it.

One of my dreams came true today: landing an interview on CBC Radio.
CBC = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation – similar to NPR in the states. I grew up listening to CBC Radio Winnipeg, both for news and local information but also for the funky radio plays they’d run on Sunday nights.
To me the CBC is a big part of Canada’s cultural identity, and since we have very little of that, it’s also really important. It was a really cool to have the opportunity to be a small part of it and see what goes on behind the “magic”.
‘Cause radio really does seem kind of magical to me… Voices transmitted through air right to your ears – originating in a tiny room, yet crossing vast distances. Epic stuff.
You can listen to the interview here: (big thanks to Kert for recording it!)

Also: a big thank you to Jamie and Lisanne for hooking me up.
Now to work on my next dream: getting on radio again somehow. 
We’ve found our TIGJam tshirt design – thanks to talented Winnipegger Marlon Wiebe!
Now doesn’t that make you proud to be both in Winnipeg and independent? I know it works for me…

The only way to get one of these sweet tees is to sign up for TIGJam Winnipeg – and fill out the accompanying Google form so we know your shirt size. We have to put in a print order very soon, so register ASAP!
