Here’s our entry to CDNOP! Would be strange if we didn’t get something out, eh?

These are bullets! :

• If we actually had prepared, or even
• had show notes for you, these bullets
• would contain wonderful link-baity snippets designed
• to get both you and search engines interested, all without
• offending people or making fun of minority groups.
• PAB2011 videos are here

Happy CDNOP!!

DECEMBER 1 IS THE SECOND (GREAT) CANADIAN NATIONAL DAY OF PODCASTING

This was so much fun last year, let’s do it again!

Here are the guiding principles :

• Put out a show! Dormant? Retired? Doesn’t matter – Do it!
• Don’t need to invent or reinvent anything. Just do a show like you used to – or something new, up to you. It’s all good.
• Reach out to “retired” producers. Spread the word.
• Don’t have a site anymore? Send us the audio – we’ll host it!
• HashTag: #CDNOP

On December 2nd-ish, we’ll post a (hopefully massive) list of all the participating shows on CanadaPodcasts.ca and Canadian Podcast Buffet – to be sure you haven’t missed any.

Les francophones sont invités a participer aussi, envoyer-nous vos liens!

Keep your earbuds on, this is going to be fun once again!

Thanks for participating!

Post an episode on Dec 1st, and everyone’s itunes or rss readers will light up like it’s 2005!

Let us know that you’ve put an episode out by linking to it in a comment on this post. We’ll post a list with links to all the episodes here and on CanadaPodcasts.ca . . If you prepared audio and don’t have a site anymore, email it to canadianpodcastbuffet AT gmail.com, and we’ll post it here for you. If it’s video, use one of the popular video sites (youtube,vimeo, etc) and send us that link.

In our annual post-PAB show, we do our best to hold ourselves together and keep our voices intact while we reflect on yet another amazing event. Thank you to everyone who participated in PAB2011. Videos from the event will be published over the summer. And, we may be able to locate and publish videos from PAB2006.

Have an amazing summer.

While Mark battled his spotty connection at the “No Bandwidth Motel” in San Diego, Tod Maffin joined Bob (and sometimes Mark) to discuss being a PAB “Lifer”, and also to take a look at how the space has progressed in the last 6 years.

We also discuss the founding of CanadaPodcasts.ca , and Tod helps us with new show announcements. The voice in the background Tod only acknowledges at the very end is Jocelyn Tomkinson, aka Ask A Wheelchair Girl

Did we mention he’s attending PAB2011 ?

Broca’s Area alumni Dave Brodbeck and Isabelle Michaud spent a couple of nights at Mark and Andrea’s house this past weekend (they happened to be in the neighbourhood).

So, one evening, while hanging out in “Margaritaville” and Bob was doing something else, they turned on the recorder to talk about PAB2011 and Dave Brodbeck’s JOLT! “Your story deserves no attention whatsoever.”
