World Bowls Champs Experience

I’ve been in Christchurch covering the World Bowls Champs for Radio Sport and Newstalk ZB. It was my first time in digital media commentary and I learnt a lot. Whilst there was a lot of traffic on the websites and radio stations, many preferred to get the updates live as they happened – from my Facebook updates! You can ‘friend’ me by clicking here.

Above right: I was doing an interview with Ali Forsyth (gold medal winning Skip of the NZ Men’s Fours Side) on the new fangled radio app that sends direct to Radio Sport.
