CBC's Search Engine back in podcast form

Posted by Cory Doctorow, September 15, 2008 11:03 PM | permalink

Jesse Brown, host of the excellent CBC radio show Search Engine (senselessly cancelled by CBC brass after an immensely successful first year) sez, "People keep telling me that my radio show was canceled last season. I refuse to accept this, and will therefore continue producing new podcasts every week. The first zombie episode of Search Engine is now online! It features an awkward discussion between me, the CBC exec who gave us the axe and a guy who started a Facebook group to protest the cancellation. There's also a story on our embarrassing federal election, titled 'Canada is retarded.'" Zombie Search Engine Episode 1, MP3

Ah, man. CBC -used- to be such a classy operation. Well, welcome to the long, long list of great shows that were stupidly cancelled. And welcome to an age where that doesn't fing matter anymore. We SHALL overcome.

If Canada is retarded when it comes to elections, what does that make the U.S.?
