Podcasting from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

Posted by timothy on from the spread-it-out dept.

AttheCoalFace writes "The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is piloting a podcast availability project. Quirks & Quarks, an hour-long weekly science review, is offered in the first, small list of programs." Q&Q is a great show, too.

    As is the ABC. And the BBC is doing it too.

      Add NPR to the list. Though its on a show by show basis. On the Media and Talk of the Nation are both podcasted.

  4. Details on Q&Q by saskboy · · Score: 3, Informative

    Quirks and Quarks has been on the air as long as I can remember, first with another host that does CBC work still, but Bob McDonald has done the radio show for about the last decade. Before that you could find him hosting Wonderstruck, a science program for kids shown on CBC Saturday morning TV, and was definitely on par with Bill Nuye the Science Guy shows. Bob also does science segments on The National, Canada's nightly nationally broadcast news on CBC's primary station available to nearly anyone with a TV set.
    Q&Q has been available online in Real Audio format since about 1997, and you can find a great deal of very interesting and informative stuff in the CBC archives. If you've not been listening to Q&Q for the last 15 years, you've got a lot of 1 hour, comercial free shows to catch up on.
