Interesting character. Could only be Canadian, of course :-D

"According to Lawrence, Nardwuar picked up the habit of obsessively documenting and archiving, well, everything, from his mom, Olga Ruskin. She taught him, Lawrence says, “to be an archivist, that history matters, and that you never know when this stuff will be relevant, so save everything.” And what’s remarkable about Nardwuar’s career: that his first-ever interview has become relevant to his fame today.

Nardwuar says that when he accepted his appointment to the Order of Canada, he did so in honor of his mother. Olga, who passed away in 2010, was a newspaper reporter, broadcaster, and historian. “She had a local cable access TV show called Our Pioneers and Neighbours,” Nardwuar says, noting that his mother had a genuine curiosity about people in the community, and she would bring them onto the show, much to her son’s bewilderment at the time. “I was like, ‘Why are you talking to the next-door neighbor? Why don’t you talk to somebody bigger, somebody famous?’ She was like, ‘Your next-door neighbor has just as interesting a story as a celebrity. It’s up to you to draw that out.’ And that’s what she taught me.”

Long-time Vancouver music journalist Mike Usinger vividly recalls interviewing Nardwuar and his mom together at Nard’s favorite hangout, the Tomahawk Restaurant, for a 2004 Georgia Straight cover story. “He said that his mom taught him that the job of the interviewer is to make the interview interesting for the interviewee,” Usinger says, “and that is the gold standard.”

Most of the people Nardwuar interviews these days are indeed celebrities, but he still takes Olga’s lessons to heart. Some might say that making things interesting for the interviewee is Nardwuar’s stock-in-trade.

In fact, the real secret to Nardwuar’s success is his uncannily exhaustive research, which invariably makes his interviewees’ jaws drop."

I love living in a country that will give the #OrderofCanada to Raffi Cavoukian who spent his entertainment career for kids, and to #Nardwuar the Human Serviette who...well...was just Nardwuar.

I think I found the place I'll be ordering my #Nardwuar shoes from this weekend. If I were in Canada, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I wasn't even sure if they'd be available here in Europe. #DootDoo

A friend of mine did a great interview with #nardwuar, basically doing a Nardwuar-style interview with a New Orleans focus.
