A DyscultureD Update

By -

We talked about this on Twitter, and promised a post to outline some of the changes that are coming for DyscultureD.  In order to better serve our listening audience, we’re making a few changes…

The idea behind DyscultureD has always been to be the best Canadian pop culture and tech podcast possible – and we’re committed to keeping that pledge.  We’d love to hear feedback from our loyal listeners and readers.

Anth has done us up a new theme song.  We’ve redesigned our blog and other branding.  We’re ready for the changes…and here’s just a sample of what we’re doing…

  1. Shifting our live stream time from Sundays to Wednesday nights from 9:30 EST until 11 EST(pre-show gets underway at 9 pm EST for those so inclined to listen).
  2. The CoverItLive chatroom will remain and accompany the live stream in its new time slot.
  3. Posting the podcast within two days afterward.
  4. Each co-host will bring a “dyscussion” into play for the week.
  5. Dystractions will still be there…they always are!
  6. Interviews will happen more often.
  7. Guest spots will also happen more often.
  8. Blog posts will happen more often – although not on any set schedule. We’re busy, people.
  9. Each of us will have a “dystinct” signature at DyscultureD’s Twitter feed. (^AM, ^AC, ^MV)
  10. Musical selections will remain part of our closing signature.

We’ll “dyscuss” some of this further with a brief live stream this Sunday at 2 pm EST – and it’ll be a short podcast available for download next Monday.  Then, we start our Wednesday broadcasts!  Thanks again for your support…and always remember: if you want to explore pop culture, dyscover DyscultureD!

Canada's tech gurus -- whither the other two?

We all know what happened to this guy… After being burned twice by TechTV Canada — who pulled the plug on both Call For Help and The Lab with Leo — he seems to be doing alright . But back when I had digital cable there were two other made-in-Canada tech help-type shows that I lost track of. So let’s catch up… Dave Chalk I remember the dude in the red shirt above as always on the verge of having an on-camera aneurysm; turns out he’s a recovering dyslexic (oops), which couldn’t possibly have helped him read those dense paragraphs of product copy on his almost entirely forgettable computer shows. Not that Sir Chalk gives a flying fuck what I think about anything — he’s filthy rich, apparently, having sold software to Research in Motion, among other things. So does he share his mansion with his obvious (to me) lover back in the day, Mike Agerbo (in blue)? No one knows for sure, but he hasn’t been kicked out of the empire yet … Steve Dotto Anybody remember Dotto’s Data Café ? I
