Click the hyperlinked timestamps below to skip around the conversation. One of LA Weekly's 40 most interesting people in Los Angeles, Andrew McGregor, speaks with me about how he built and ran his non profit organization for Citizen Journalism examples with the Tiziano Project, a non profit organization that taught journalism to African communities. He also discusses how he brought Chess Boxing to Los Angeles, as well as the APOPO rats that detect land mines. That's right, minesweeping rats!

Celtic Connections review: We Banjo 3 with Chessboxer, Glasgow

The US duo of Ross Holmes and Matt Menefee proved as inventive, eclectic and eccentric as their hybrid sport’s name suggests, delivering an exuberant, galloping tribute to a computer game horse, an unusually graceful rendition of Welsh rugby hymn Calon Lân and a delightful bluegrass interpretation of Britney Spears’s Toxic, with Holmes chopping away on the fiddle with gleeful mischief in his eyes.
