(1/3) 2025 was a YEAR! It kind of felt like 10 years. I wanted to take some time to wrap up.

Last night I had the absolute privilege of attending the 2025 Antenna Awards, and what an unforgettable experience it was. The room was alive with creativity, passion, and the shared belief that community television matters.

And then came the moment we never saw coming; ‘All In’, the show I worked on last year with Attitude Foundation and Powerd Media, actually won.
I am beyond proud to have contributed to a project that showcased the work and talents of disabled people, whilst also ensuring disabled people were at the heart of its creation, both on and off screen.

A heartfelt thank you to C31 Melbourne for championing this program and for recognising the importance of authentic representation.

This award is more than a trophy, it celebrates the creativity, skill, and strength within our disability community. It stands for every disabled person who has fought to be seen, and for those whose voices are still rising.

This is for all of you.

An alien ally returns. A scrambled signal. Northern Ontario kids board a living ship and descend beneath Europa’s ice—where Atlantis still shines. Found family, accessibility-forward adventure, and a choice that could reshape who tells our future.

A green traveler is in our skies tonight.
Comet Lemmon has me wondering: if the lost civilizations of Earth—now living on other worlds—looked up, what would they remember? 🌌

The MacIver Kids Adventures asks them. Found family, big mysteries, a wheelchair-using protagonist leading the way.
