Media Girlfriends
Tori Allen as a freelancer is a lot like old Tori, just with more babies
Season 2, Ep. 5
•
Tori Allen is a freelance producer and journalist living in Thailand. We became friends during her eight years at CBC Radio working on Metro Morning, q and DNTO.
Last year Tori and I sat in the bunkie of a cottage at our annual Lady Camp trip and talked about how living abroad as a 'trailing spouse' means she constantly reinvents herself for work, something she realizes she has always done.
WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID
A double header of regrets from podcasters and journalists Vicky Mochama and Katie Jensen, creators of the new Vocal Fry Studios, an affordable and inclusive Toronto podcast studio and community workspace.
MENTIONED ON THE SHOW
Pacific Content, the company Tori worked with, which creates original podcasts with brands.
