Cyrus on: CBC’s Spark and TVO’s Search Engine

I’m a little behind on keeping up with my own work these days. I’ve been busy with getting ready for Germany, a book deadline and some personal issues lately.

That said, I’m tearing things up north of the border.

I was interviewed by the ever tenacious Jesse Brown on Search Engine to talk about my recent visit to Washington, D.C. to attend Secretary Clinton’s speech on Internet Freedom.

You can check out that interview here.

I’m also on CBC Spark this week, doing a piece on Internet filtering in the workplace.

You can listen online here, or:

Sunday afternoons on CBC Radio One at 1:05/1:35 NT (4:05 PT)
