      6. As listener to show I knew after Ghomeshi fired they were trying out new hosts.

      7. In January I was contacted by head hunting firm used by CBC asking if I wanted to be considered by the host's job.

      8. I had conversation with head-hunter. "Was I interested?" Sure, it's a fantastic job, it would be foolish not to at least try out for it.

      9. "Any concerns about the job?" Well, I'm a writer, not a broadcaster. I've done TV & radio but that's not my metier.

      10. Perhaps foolishly, I brought up a few other concerns. Q was built around Ghomeshi, so it has a particular focus.

      11. The strength of Q, I noted, was interviews musicians & other artists. Ghomeshi, to give him his due was as emphatic interviewer

      12. So I suggested, if goal is to have Q do similar things, best to have someone with a background in music.

      13. Another option (which I had raised on this twitter feed) was not to re-think show. Not have one host but have rotating hosts.

      14. After interview I was (perhaps completely coincidentally, actually) flown to Toronto to do segments on National and Q.

      15. And then got note saying CBC decided they didn't want to pursue me further as candidate for Q gig.

      16. Shad's great strengths are his music background and the already formidable skills as an interviewer he displayed in his try-out week.

          18. The hole experience was interesting. It was gratifying to both to be considered & to realize CBC had same analysis of show I have

          19. I should add another lesson here is if you are being considered for a job, don't explain at length why you aren't a good candidate.

          @HeerJeet After such a huge fuckup, I could only hope Q put a woman in the host seat. I hope Shad is great, and as feminist as they tout...

          @MichaelVeeSmith That came up in my conversation -- I told them that a female host would make a lot of sense.
