After spending time with Glenn Wheeler and Warren Moore on Saturday evenings over the last few months, Ritchie’s Room has found a home with the great Susie Elelman on her overnight show on Sunday mornings – and when I say morning, I mean it! Ritchie’s Room kickstarted its first official segment today with Susie at […]

Best On-Air Reaction to Google Cardboard EVER
There are standard reactions to new technology, then there is that “WOW!” moment you manage to capture on video and audio.
