The Secret Control Room of AOL
Last year, Margot Koschier and I taped some interviews in AOL’s Reston operations facility for an upcoming film, Spam: The Documentary. The film was produced by Scott Dobson and directed by David Manning for Canada’s CBC station (similar to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the US)
Anyway, looks like it airs on both Tuesday October 17 and Saturday October 21 at 10pm ET/PT on CBC Newsworld. Set your TIVO!!
We heard from the director that they got some great footage when they literally ran after some well known spammers and tried to interview them in Las Vegas. Should be fun.
PS: If anyone does actually TIVO it, I would love to see the show. I just can’t wait until it comes to the States on Court TV sometime in the future :-)
