Christine Malec has lived in Toronto as long as she’s been alive, and one might think living in a big city has tempered her to the dangers of expanding her outlook, but that has not happened.
Victor first acquainted himself with Christine through some work she’d done for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and throughout the years, they’ve managed to keep in touch through various e-mail lists, but Victor has never really sat down and had a heart to heart chat with Christine. He is so glad he did…
Listeners may have heard of Christine through her work on the Talk Description to Me podcast, as a co-host of the show, and now she’s branched out into a form of the spoken word art of story telling, a skill not easily accomplished, but listening to her voice leaves no doubt in Victor’s mind that her voice and talents will lead her in all sort of directions, should she so choose.
