2.a) Canada’s First Podcast

in 2. Live from The Formosa Teahouse

Live from The Formosa Tea House, was recorded over lunch in Charlottetown, P.E.I. on September 8, 2004.

The brainchild of Peter Rukavina, President of Reinvented Inc., the half-hour podcast was “just an experiment,” says Rukavina.  Following in the footsteps of Adam Curry, Dave Winer and Steve Gillmor, Rukavina recognized a new meduim was emerging with The Daily Source Code, Morning Coffee Notes and The Gillmor Gang, respectively.

So Rukavina thought: why not try it out?

Joined by Dan James and Steven Garrity, two of the men behind Silverorange, the trio met for lunch at The Formosa Tea House.  They brought their apetites and audio equipment.

Rukavina blogged about the experience later that day, an his post captures the excitement and thrill of their successful experiment.
