I have known about podcasts for some time, but never thought that I might have occasion to listen to them. How nice to discover some brief comedy sketches from the CBC podcast service!
It seems that these days, anyone can become a "journalist" or "broadcaster" through the use of blogs, YouTube and podcasts. Is it a good thing that the media giants no longer "own" news and entertainment? How reliable are these other sources -- and what biases do they bring? The age of being spoon-fed our information is long-gone -- more and more we have to count on our own decision-making abilities and select from an ever-increasing smorgasbord of information. Kind of overwhelming sometimes, I think.
