Canada’s community of independent podcasters is a vibrant, diverse and welcoming group of people. Since the fall of 2004, they have been developing original audio content in their basements, studios, cars and on the streets of our great country.
In the early days Tod Maffin hosted small podcasting meet-ups across the country and started a directory of Canadian podcasts. Once our early adopters became aware of each other, larger meet-ups were planned and eventually conferences like PAB and Podcamp appeared in Canada.

The Project
This website charts the evolution of Podcasting in Canada from September 2004 to January 2007.
An interactive timeline of this history has also been established. It can be viewed chronologically, cartographically and as individual podcasts.
If you notice a podcast missing from this listing, please bring the omission to my attention.
I have relied heavily on the www.CanadaPodcasts.ca website and the Internet Archive to flesh-out this history.
- If you have any concerns, questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at: podcastingincanada@gmail.com.
*** Huge thanks must be payed to Mark Blevis, Bob Goyetch, Tod Maffin, Kathryn Gretsinger, Alfred Hermida and all of the individual podcasters who contributed their stories, voices and time. Without them this project, and perhaps the Canadian Podcast Community itself, would not exist.***
