Canadian Podcast Buffet

You’d think we were drunk with the audio quality of our own voices in this show. Actually, we were both out of beer.

Okay, okay!!! This has come up a number of times.

“Why are you promoting them? They aren’t Canadian.”

“Am I a Canadian Podcast?”

“Really? Canada lost to Finland???”

To be considered a Canadian Podcast that can be promoted on the Canadian Podcast Buffet, you must meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Everything about your Podcast is Canadian (hosts, producers, home city, etc…)
• Your Podcast contains completely Canadian content
• At least one of the main hosts is Canadian (expats accepted)
• You, or your Podcast, reside in Canada
• Your Podcast appears in the Canadian node of the iPodder directory, also known as CanadaPodcasts.ca
• You don’t have Finnish or Swiss ancestry (we may be able to overlook this)

Now, back to our grief.

With the last minute addition of late breaking news about a new concept in interactive podcasting (actually, I think I’ll start calling it participatory podcasting), the Highlight Reel and Tip of the Week have been bumped from this episode.
