Carrie Doll: On Air and in The Chair

I met Carrie Doll in the late 90's at CFRN Television in
Edmonton. She was a reporter and later a news anchor. She covered
the events of 9/11 from the anchor desk in Calgary and learned
how to report without a script. The youngest of ten children from
Fairview, Alberta, Carrie was a natural when it came to
communicating and public speaking. She had an incredible run on
CFRN-TV in the anchor chair alongside Daryl McIntyre. We spoke
about "the Chair" in the physical and metaphorical sense. With so
many great broadcasters having occupied the chair previously,
Carrie knew that sitting in it required great responsibility.


In this episode we re-connected for the first time in 18 years
and took a small walk down broadcasters row in Edmonton. We spoke
about the people who sat before her on CFRN-TV (Daphne Kuhn,
Leslie Miller, Shawna Randolph) and others who graced the
Edmonton airwaves who have gone on to larger markets. (Todd
Battis, Tara Nelson, Darren Dutchyshen, Catherine MacDonald,
Brian Mudryk, Graham Richardson, Ian Leonard, and so many more)


Today, Carrie hosts a weekly podcast called the Inner Circle
which you should connect to here.


Carrie is also a public speaking coach and was kind enough to
share some of her expertise on the show.


There is also some bonus material from this episode on the show
page including Carrie's farewell from CFRN here.
