Canadian National Day of Podcasting

0 Comments December 1st, 2010 by Bill Deys

Today is the day!

Today is December 1st, the Canadian National Day of Podcasting. It’s the day that podcasters are supposed to revive their retired podcasts and produce one more episode. No reinventions, nothing special, just a show like they used to be.

As part of this day, CastRoller has set up a channel (and feed) so you can keep up to date on the shows.

We’ll do our best to get all the podcasts in the channel. Help us out by emailing a link to the episode to bill@castroller.com or tweeting a link with the tag #cndop.

See you at PodCamp Toronto
