Who helped out this week!

The producer of "The Triumph of Failure: Ireland 1916", is Chris Wodskou, who accompanied Michael on his trip to Dublin.

Chris has an MA in English literature; he worked in television and digital production at the CBC before moving to radio as one of the original producers at The Current. He joined The Sunday Edition staff about four years ago. He describes himself on his seldom-used Twitter page thusly: "Baseball and indie music geek. Would take nature over fossil fuels if forced to choose." 

The program was mixed by award-winning freelance documentary producer Ashley Walters. Thank you, Ashley!
