About Podcasting

Ennev — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:25:10 +0000

So it look like mevio.com is no longer hosting “non profit” podcast, I don’t know if it’s just a bug or it’s a decision they have taken recently, but the thing is, is that they haven’t publicized it yet and as far as I know a lot of producer got theirs account suspended without notice or explanations. I know some of us wrote for an explanation and have yet to get an answer. The files are still up from what I see but the rss feed and webpage have been removed. I have only posted public domain material on this podcast I was having, so i don’t think it was brought down for copyright issues.

It is just bad timing because I was going to produce new episodes and try to bring it back alive, I was neglecting it since a few years.

Anyway, for the moment I have relocated it. So if you are intrigued about Old Time Radio Show just try it:
The “New” Odd and Not show

CRTC in the news again

Ennev — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:56:39 +0000

They really want to please the public!

CRTC won’t name firms in do-not-call probe
The CRTC is refusing to identify three telemarketers accused of willingly violating the national do-not-call list, according to a report by the Toronto Star.

Scrap the CRTC, petition urges ? Maybe it’s a little too far!

Ennev — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:51:03 +0000

Why scrap? Fix it instead!

We need an board like that. But it need to work.

Can’t just let the system regulate itself. That’s why the mobile services are so expensive in Canada and that our Internet providers have free reign like they have right now.

Scrap the CRTC, petition urges
An online petition to dissolve the CRTC has attracted hundreds of signatures in the wake of the regulator’s ruling against independent internet providers last week.
