Rabble On the Air

June 17, 2005 › Sandy McMurray | comment

peapod.jpgFor the past couple of months I've been working with the great folks at rabble.ca to launch a podcast for the progressive left in Canada.
rabble.ca was launched in 2001 by Judy Rebick, a very funny, very feisty feminist/activist. It has become an online alternative "press" and meeting place for the left in Canada and gets about 300,000 visitors a month these days.
Starting today, those visitors will be able to tune into rabble radio. The show was put together in true virtual fashion - with contributions sent and edited in different locations and assembled by an extremely talented Ryerson broadcast student, Charlotte Scott.
I got to produce an audio version of techstuff.ca for the pilot. Hope you like it and rabble radio. It shows you what a few volunteers, a couple of microphones and the Web can do. As they say in the podcasting world, "Transmitters? We don't need no stinkin' transmitters!"
