\"Montreal<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On New Year’s Eve, 2009, I completed my work as an executive in charge of production at TV One. In January of 2010, I boarded an Amtrak train at Union Station in Washington, D.C., and traveled to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The city was cold and covered in snow. My kind of weather. For days, I stayed in my hotel room (pictured left), sitting atop my bed, drinking Vodka and eating pizza and Chinese food, figuring out what I would do next in my professional life. In February of 2008, before I accepted the position at TV One, in a similarly contemplative state of mind, I signed up for an account on BlogTalkRadio. I hadn’t been on the air since the early 90s, when I produced and hosted the On Track<\/em> radio broadcast for the Washington Urban League, in partnership with WPGC 95.5 FM in Washington, D.C. It was in Montreal, in that hotel room, nearly 20 years later, that I decided to create and produce a podcast. We broadcast our first show – All Eyes on Haiti<\/em> – on a very snowy Saturday morning: February 6, 2010. In season one, we produced 74 original programs.<\/mark><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
