CBC technology innovators: Nicole and Rahim
I had the pleasure of working with Nicole Goodman and Rahim Lalani of CBC Radio 3 in Vancouver while we were launching the first full round of podcasts.
They developed the Radio Automated Podcast Publisher, or RAPP, a web-based tool that automatically manages CBC Radio’s podcasts. (Believe me, we tried to come up with a better name!)
CBC show producers log on to the RAPP website from any workstation within CBC to upload audio files to be podcast, select the publish date and how long the podcast is to remain available. RAPP automatically converts the files to the proper formats, manages the transfer of files and schedules the podcast. RAPP is now the standard CBC Radio podcast publishing utility.
Nicole and Rahim were among the folks recognized at the CBC/Radio-Canada TechKnowledgy Exchange Forum earlier this week. You can see their presentation at http://intranet/cte/2007/(internal link only).

It would be nice if they could remove the damn ads at the beginning of CBC Radio One podcasts. I already wrote an angry letter to the CBC over this and so far I haven’t heard anything back.
It would maybe be nicer and maybe more effective if you wrote an angry letter to your MP over the the fact that the CBC is so poorly funded compared to other PSBs that it has to resort to this.
