Here's Your Chumbucket
That's what we're calling the Tyee's new podcast. At least for now.
Likely to be full of all sorts of stuff.
The Tyee Chumbucket, episode one »

Presenting The Tyee Chumbucket, a podcast for your listening pleasure.
What's a chumbucket? It's the trusty sidekick of every fisherman and woman, a necessity on every journey into the wilds of B.C. More prosaically, it's just a bucket of bait. Are we overdoing the fish metaphors yet?
Our first podcast tackles science and magic. Well, mostly science. We speak with Candis Callison, a journalism professor at the University of British Columbia, about her J-source essay on new media and covering climate change -- why so few do it right, and what can be done.
We'll also play an interview with Steven Waller, an archaeoacoustics expert that co-host Justin Ritchie met at the recent American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Vancouver. Hear their conversation about the auditory illusion of Stonehenge.
We wind down with Tyee reporter Colleen Kimmett, describing a recent story she worked on involving some quality time with a glacier.
In the future, as the podcast grows, we'll bring in more voices from in and around B.C. And we hope to add your ideas. What Tyee reporters do you want to hear from? Who should we interview next?
And OK. One more time. Chumbucket. Does the name cry out for a replacement? Or maybe you can't wait to get another whiff?
Let us know in the thread below, or at podcast@thetyee.ca.

Title
Even being Mac user for a couple of decades, I like that we can use names that don't tap deeply into the technology rather than describe the nature of the item. Chumbucket is appropriate and mildly amusing. Podcast, well, take it or leave it.

Chumbucket
Well, chumbucket is an interesting name but I doubt it will attract listeners. We all know how a chumbucket smells and I think one should avoid negatives when naming something. Keep working on this. One could call it Pod-Cast for example, or Pacific News, or Submarine, or.....

RSS/XML feed coming?
Is there going to be a standard podcast feed that I can subscribe to with my (non-Itunes) podcast app?

AJAXify the commenter login
Also, when are you going AJAXify the comment login?
If I want to complain about the podcast before I've bothered to finish listening to the podcast the "login" link forwards me to a new URL for login, after which I get dumped on a generic page that I have to back-button out of, and when I get back to the podcasts I've lost my place and my audio cache.
Jeez.

To add to your "bucket" list of problems, Hugh, I'm not seeing the podcast in iTunes yet.
#sigh.
As for ajaxing the comment login, we're currently assessing some options there. Apologies for the hassles.

my chum and me mate
I took the name 'chum bucket' as being like my friend is in the bucket. Just Podcast has a fishy or whaley name to it anyways.
On another note:
I like the simplicity of the messageboard, its a little annoying having to login and then find the forum you were on. So maybe a login 'lightbox' might work or at the very least put a login button at the bottom of the page under the comments that returns to the page you were on.
It all jives well with the great God Google who imortalizes and collects all the crazy &^%$! people say.

Chumbucket!!!!!!! ...Give me more!
I loved this inaugural Chumbucket session and can't wait for more. A kick-ass balance between hilarity and sincerity. And it's informative. Give me more! And if you're looking for votes, I love the name.
