Celebrities are swinging at Trump from the stage.  What does this phenomenon, and Trump’s reaction to it, mean for the brand of the American presidency?

I considered these questions and more in an enjoyable interview this afternoon with Ron Charles of CBC’s The National.  It airs tonight at:

-10 on the CBC main network
-9 on CBC News Network
-9 on www.cbc.ca

Dear Reader,

I had the pleasure of a conversation today with reporter Ioanna Roumeliotis of CBC TV’s The National, who had some questions about the impending rebrand of Q, the show vacated by Jian Ghomeshi.

A new host, rapper Shad, was named today.

You can watch the story (which includes my very short interview) here (the location of this link may change over time)  The story starts at the 40:30 mark of The National as broadcast on March 11.

**What do you think??  How will the show fare with the new host?  Was it a good move to keep the name Q, or should they have changed it?**
