Through the miracle of technology, I’m co-hosting Popped Culture tonight. It runs tonight (Monday) at 5:30 AST on CKDU — 97.5 FM in Halifax, or online.

Honour your CKDU pledges
Via the halifaxlocals forum comes news that CKDU’s annual funding drive came up short. That could mean for some tough times ahead.
The spoils of its funding drive already account for roughly one-third of its budget. And the station drained its savings this year to buy a new transmitter, antennae and other equipment to increase […]
Sad Goat Replacement Reviews
From the CBC watchblog artichokes and cbc for everyone comes a Roundup of Roundup Replacement Reviews. Honestly, I’ve not yet heard the new afternoon show Freestyle.
Pillow Fight
I just got back from the giant pillow fight at Dundas Square.
Hilariously (and perhaps inappropriately) the organizers didn’t know there was a UTAG (Uniting Toronto Against Guns) anti-gun rally going on at the same time. At some point though, the groups realized each other’s existence, and the UTAG emcee gave the pillow fighters big props.

When it rains, it pours
In addition to working at Syndication this week, I:
Wrote and taped my second talk-tape for Go
Interviewed Yegor from SmashMyiPod.com for Popped Culture
Voiced a consumer column for the Content Factory
Was asked to do a Christmas-time column for the Content Factory
The Syndicate
I spent the past week chase producing for CBC national radio Syndication.
It was a fun job because of the variety of stuff I got to do. I set up live interviews for local/regional shows across Canada about pirates, quick fix diets/exercise/surgery, and war correspondents. I also did a couple of interviews myself, sliced my voice […]

Pals of mine know that I’m always on the lookout for the perfect portable digital audio recorder. Well, over at Engadget, readers are weighing in with their suggestions for the best portable podcasting gear.
Stretching afternoon show resources even thinner
In Tuesday’s Globe, there was a good overview of the coming changes to CBC’s afternoon lineup. The changes are slated to take effect this Monday.
I’m particularly interested to hear how local afternoon shows in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver will deal with an extra half hour to fill every day.
Local afternoon shows are notoriously hard up […]
Listen for me on Go this month
Taped an item for Go this morning.
Each week in November, I’m trying a different fad diet. And every Saturday morning this month, I’ll be talking about it on the air. Have a listen if you can: Saturdays at 10:00 AM.
