Well, that was a night. I got up at 2:25am to be ~awake for a string of 11 phone interviews with CBC radio stations across the country between 3:00 and 6:00. Kitchener-Waterloo (3am) cancelled on account of technical difficulties, leaving Montreal (3:10), Cape Breton (3:20), Windsor (3:40), Quebec City (3:50), Winnipeg (4:20), Saskatoon (4:40), Ontario (provincewide, 4:50), Victoria (5:10), Vancouver (5:40), and Newfoundland (6:00, 6:30 in Newfoundland, lol).
Weird way to do syndication. All the interviews had more or less the same lead-up and introduction ("In the quest for road safety, automakers are increasingly turning to LED headlights, but some drivers say they're just too bright and can be distracting/blinding. Here to discuss that is Daniel Stern, Chief Editor of Driving Vision News, a technical journal for vehicle lighting. Good morning, Daniel"). Then some or all of these questions:
• How are LED headlamps different to previous kinds?
• What makes them more glaring?
• Why are automakers using them?
• What do you hear about them from drivers?
• What can drivers do about the glare?
• Are automakers and regulators going to do anything about it?
Then the same wrap up, restating my name and title and thanking me. Some of the interviews were live on air, and some were recorded for later.
This could've been recorded once and instantly sent out to all those stations for use whenever, but then it wouldn't've been each show's host asking the questions, I guess.
Anyhow: I'm sleep-deprove today.
