Ever since the final episode of Jim Dupree: Enthusiast about a year and a half ago, people have asked, “Are you ever going to make more episodes?”
The answer for a long time was, “No.”
But as of yesterday, that answer changed. Starting on Groundhog Day 2008 (yesterday), we started to release season four of the podcast […]

Jim Dupree is back
Jim Dupree: Official Festival Selection Enthusiast
So a year ago, Tristan and I made thirty episodes of a video podcast called Jim Dupree: Enthusiast. It was reasonably well-received, so we stopped doing it.
Now it turns out that videoblogger extraordinaire Steve Garfield is a curator at The American Film Institute’s Pixelodeon festival in Los Angeles this year. And he’s included Jim Dupree: […]
How Democracy changed everything, and what the CBC needs to do to compete with the pirates
Well, perhaps Democracy hasn’t changed everything, but it certainly has changed the way I watch television shows.
Democracy is a free, open-source, Internet television platform. Its guts are made of:
An RSS aggregator
A Bittorrent client
A video player based on VLC
When you put these three things together, magical things start to happen.
Let’s say, for example, that I’m a […]
The Hour Podcast
Scanning through the iTunes podcast directory today, I came across something called The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos Video Podcast.
Now, iTunes doesn’t easily let you see the feed information for podcasts listed in its directory, but if you ping a feed (using its ID from the Music Store URL) like this:

You get:

Filling in on Editor’s Choice again
Angela Misri’s on jury duty for a while, so in her absence, I’m filling in for her on the CBC Editor’s Choice podcast.
You can download individual episodes from the program page, or subscribe to the RSS feed.
The Prosecast is back
Good news in my inbox yesterday. My former podcast-labelmate Cathi Bond (of The Sniffer fame) has launched the second season of her Prosecast for HarperCollins Canada. The first edition features an interview with Vikram Chandra (NYT review of his novel “Sacred Games”).
Congratulations Cathi, and best of luck with the new season.
Interview with Dave Brodbeck
Dave Brodbeck interviewed me over Skype tonight. We talked about the podcast, the band, and the miracle of Craigslist.
Dave is one hell of a cool guy. We met at Podcasters Across Borders a couple of weeks back. Since meeting, I’ve been amazed to discover that he does three (!) podcasts: Broca’s Area, Thunderbird Six, plus […]
The kids these days and their podcasts
Tristan and I have started another video podcast. It’s called Canadian Heritage Vignettes. It is short, subtitled, shot entirely with my digital camera, and will probably be updated infuriatingly infrequently.
You might also want to check out the newest Collective Production. It’s called The Podcast of My Discontent, and it features (probably) more Tristan Homer than […]
I love iSquint
I do, I really do. iSquint is the program that I use on my Macintosh to turn huge DV files into iPod video compatible files for the Jim Dupree podcast. Now, there are a lot of ways to do this, and I’ve tried several, but by far, iSquint is the easiest and fastest. The program […]
Interviewed today for G4techTV
Amber MacArthur interviewed Tristan and me today about Jim Dupree: Enthusiast for a G4techTV show called Torrent. Basically, Torrent takes video podcasts, and puts them on television.
It was nice to be asked to participate, but strange. Our podcast is so unbelievably silly, it’s hard to imagine anyone wanting to ask serious questions about it.
A friendly […]
