Diane is CBC radio's national parenting columnist, writing and recording about topics as diverse as parental cyberchondria, to boredom, to sex-ed -- all with a mix of self-deprecation, fierce curiosity, and maternal exhaustion. She is also a regular contributor to CBC's Definitely Not the Opera, travelling to the Winnipeg CBC TV comedy Festival with them for their first live show in 2011. She's also freelanced for Tapestry, CBC's weekly show about faith and humanity, as well as the satiric Day 6.
Although Diane could record radio in her pajamas, out of respect for the late Mr. Dressup, she always wears pants at the CBC studios.
