Welcome to Daybreak
Chris dela Torre sits in as Guest Host on Daybreak.
This weekend, Chris dela Torre spoke to author and journalist Todd Babiak about his latest novel, Toby: A Man. It's a journey of self-discovery about a young TV personality who loses his job, car, condo and smartphone...only to truly find himself. Babiak recently re-located his family to rural France, and is writing a column about the experience for the Edmonton Journal.
Chris also spoke to Kelly Oxford -- a stay-at-home mom from Calgary who's now an online celebrity, thanks to her sharp-witted one-liners on Twitter. She's currently at work on a TV pilot about her life, with the help of an Emmy-winning TV writer.
Singer/songwriter Leah Abramson dropped by the studio for a chat. She's hard at work on her current solo project / faux vocal ensemble The Abramson Singers, and just wrapped up a creative residency in Banff and a cross-Canada tour...by train.
Chris also spoke to two members of the Chickadivas -- an all-female a cappella group from Edmonton. We also heard the group's rendition of the 80's pop hit, 'Sweet Dreams'.
