Tiny clarification Dave, while a journalist by trade, I’m not actually a CBC Reporter, I’m an Operations manager for Radio Digital (which sounds infinitely less cool, I know, but I get to manage a team of Podcasters, Web Developers and other brilliant producers).

I’ve been attending Pod Conferences (like Podcamp and PAB) for years now… and at least three of our Radio shows have ‘covered’ past conferences (I think) – Shelagh Rogers attended and spoke at PAB 2007, and Nora Young has attended and spoken about it as well, and Jowi is opening PAB this year… the CBC has been an excited member of the Podcasting Community since Todd Maffin brought us in 4 years ago, and he should get all the credit for that first foray.

I agree though, more mainstream attention is important and gratifying.

I can’t speak for the rest of CBC (obviously) but I for one, love being a part of the community on a personal level and am forever grateful that I am lucky to be a part of it on a professional level as well.

Great to see you again at PodCamp, Dave, and for the introduction to your blog.

It was classic… I was in the room at the time too. Note to self, always have a back up plan when it comes to technology / presentations!

You mean you didn’t have an iPhone or Blackberry to connect with Twitter yourself, Dave?

It is great to see more media coverage. Here’s hoping it’s a trend that will take in the *everyday* journalists and not just those already in the field.
