Experience
Noel Ransome is an experienced Toronto-based freelance entertainment journalist. In years previous, he was the associate editor at an internationally syndicated music pub known as Urbanology Magazine before transitioning to VICE media. As a full-time critic and celebrity profiler, his conversations with the late Joel Schumacher about bat nipples or his heart to hearts with LeVar Burton have been boast-able events. But ultimately, it's the novelty of entertainment and how it can inform us that feeds his writing. You'll find his bylines at Shondaland, VICE, Motherboard, and the Toronto Star, among others.
