A lot going on Headlines
We miss your salty goodness already.
Oh, hello there, navel. Do you mind if I gaze at you awhile?
Jeff here, just checking in on you, Headliners. How are you doing, how’s life?
Great/I’m sure it will get better.
Anyway, I figure it’s a nice, cold day to stay by the warm computer monitor, which makes it a good day to ask a few questions of you about these here Headlines.
You still digging them?
What do you like? Hate?
Do you find yourself reading stories you wouldn’t have otherwise? Do you read stories from newsrooms you don’t usually seek out?
Do you read more of the stories I mention in conversational writing, or the ones under the actual news source?
Would you read more if I didn’t make it so obvious which newsroom it was from?
Anything else you can think of is more than welcome.
Now, let’s do some news! (more…)
In case you missed it…
…check out our video on demand of Saturday Night with Samsonow! The latest episode is from September 25, featuring a report on the Dawson Bridge from The Unknown Studio’s Adam Rozenhart, and School Board Trustee Candidate Sarah Hoffman!
Saturday Night with Samsonow: Sept. 25
It’s Saturday night, and we know what you want, Edmonton.
Feel free to make yourself a delicious Samsonowich and enjoy the show.
You want a live talk show, broadcast over the Internet, from the comfort of my living room.
At 9pm, if you click that video above, you are going to get exactly what you want. You’re welcome.
Tonight’s guest is Sarah Hoffman, Ward G Edmonton Public School Board trustee candidate. And we’ve got a special report on the Dawson Bridge from Adam Rozenhart. Plus, Pepe is here.
The Samsonowich will destroy breakfast as we know it
Why would someone create a sandwich of waffles and danish? If I’m remembering the story correctly, I’ll tell you why.
We went and tried one of McDonald’s new healthier options, a Southwest Salad. We weren’t fans of the BBQ sauce on the salad, but have since heard other reviews that place the salad in higher esteem. Maybe the restaurant we went to was just phoning it in.
Anyway, we thought it would be funny to create a salad of cheeseburgers. It was. We didn’t eat that though.
Twitter got rolling on things and before you know it CJSR’s Makin’ Whoopee is talking about the “Samsonowich,” a breakfast delicacy made of waffles and danish. With whipped cream or syrup to top it off.
Fast-forward to Saturday, and our attempt at a live, late-night, Edmonton talk show, and you’ve got a need to create this monstrosity of breakfast, in a cooking segment.
You know what? It was actually pretty good.
We used Eva Sweet (vanilla) waffles, so we started with the best waffles any of us had ever had. I picked up some danish (It has to be cherry!) at Sobeys, whipped up the cream myself, and put it all together live on the air.
It’s likely not a healthy option to start your day, but damn if it isn’t a delicious, messy way to kick things off.

Saturday Night with Samsonow is continually looping on our livestream.com account. We didn’t know it would do that, but it’s kind of cool.
If you watch, just pretend the parts without sound are our attempt at an artsy film school submission.
Saturday Night with Samsonow

Tonight’s guest is local social media darling Adam Rozenhart. Plus, we’ve got Pepe Duenes as our band. We’ll also be crank-calling an actual local media celebritity. And eating the long-rumoured Samsonowich.
