Announcing the Line-Ups Week by Week

So, we’ve got an amazing number of amazing writers involved in this project and it’s continuing to grow.

The enthusiasm for this project has been astounding. Nearly every writer whom I have asked has agreed to be at the W2 Culture + Media House on one of the nights.

Most of the others who can’t make it are escaping the city to go live on an island or some undisclosed interior location or Cuba or something just to get the hell out of the city during the Winter Games.

Fair enough!

Luckily we’ll be streaming the whole evening live so that our friends in far away places can witness the excitement on their computers or 52″ HD plasma screen tvs. (I just spoke to Irwin last night and apparently we’re not only recording the events on HD video for YouTubing excitement but we’re also live streaming it!)

Without further adieu, here’s the preliminary list of writers for the 4 Wednesday nights in February. It is subject to change so please check back from time to time. More writers will be coming on over the next few days and we’ll add them as it happens.

Any questions, comments or suggestions please email me at sean@booksontheradio[dot]ca.
