Uh, lemme see. Wednesday. Let’s check the book…
Cops knocked down the Occupy tent, so I don’t have to do that anymore…
There’s the News or “Coronation Street” on the CBC – neither of which will have much Canadian content…
Everybody else has celebrity gossip or reality shows. Again, not much that’s recognizably Canadian…
Whoa, are there ever a lot of reality shows on Wednesdays…
No hockey games…
Okay, might I suggest you flip open the laptop, surf here and listen to the LIVE “Dyscultured” podcast.
60 minutes of 100% Canadian cultural news and opinion delivered as entertainingly as possible.
I’ve posted my affection for “Dyscultured” before and I continue to be a die-hard fan.
Name me one other forum for cultural discussion that broadcasts live while offering listeners the opportunity to join in the discussion via a chatroom every step of the way.
What’s more, you can go on Twitter, hashtag tonight’s episode #dys161 and get a sense of what they’ll be discussing. You can also toss in your own suggestions. Chances are good it will get picked up.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – “Dyscultured” is essential for anyone in Canadian show business trying to find their way through all the tech, politics and fragmented media landscapes we deal with daily.
These guys may be as lost as we are. In fact, you can count on it. But they’re having fun and firing off flares that help to light the way.
Here’s a taste of last week’s podcast…
If you can’t enjoy “Dyscultured” live, archived episodes are available for free at the show website and iTunes.
