About

Hello. My name is Dan.

My last name is Misener (but it’s often misspelled Misner, Misener, Misenar, Misenor, Mizner, Mizener, Meisner, Meisnar, Meissner, Mizenur, Mizenar, or Mysener).

I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Now I live in Toronto, Ontario Lyon, France (for 2012, anyway) with my wife, Jenna.

I make radio for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Right now, I work on Spark, CBC’s national technology and trendwatching show. I’m also a technology columnist for 21 CBC afternoon shows across the country, and for cbc.ca.

For four seasons, I was a regular contributor to the Saturday morning show Go. I mixed the award-winning grammar and language show, And Sometimes Y. I’ve made stuff for DNTO and Lost and Found, and produced a bunch of short docs for the CBC’s Content Factory and Radio Syndication.

I also teach radio production part-time at Ryerson University.

I was in a rock and roll band called The Canaries. Now I’m in a rock and roll band called The Sweat.

As a New Year’s Resolution, I started a reading series called Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids.

As another New Year’s resolution, I started a community WiFi network.

Along with my pal Tristan, I produced a video podcast called Jim Dupree: Enthusiast. That led to a television series called HoTTT TopiXXX.

Now you (if you didn’t already) probably know enough.

    …and did tristan mean to drop his notebook like that? It was genius.
