We recently had the chance to bring in one of our most active social media fans to help us build our new blog platform. Meet Lenny Wu: blogging expert, CBC/Radio-Canada superfan, and polaroid aficionado.
Can you tell us a bit about what you were doing? I had the opportunity to help the team migrate their content over from their old blog to this new platform. As a CBC fan and a very active social media user, it was quite the experience working at CBC/Radio-Canada and getting to know everyone.
What was it like coming into our Ottawa offices? The team was friendly and let me be myself. For those who know me, I usually bring a Polaroid camera and shoot some fun analog photos. It brings out the avid photographer in me, and I got some great shots of the team at the Ottawa station!
What was one of your favourite surprises while you were here? A special doughnut day (provided by Suzy Q to celebrate Canada’s 150th).
Did you get a chance to meet any of your favourite CBC/Radio-Canada personalities? It’s always a thrill to see Alan Neal, host of CBC’s All In A Day. I always interact with him on Twitter about comics, TV and music. Another person who didn’t expect to see me was Lucy Van Oldenbarneveld, co-host of CBC News Ottawa. Most of the CBC hosts know me from my online presence and my pop culture blog.
Thanks, Lenny! We couldn’t have done this without you!
