You don’t need to spend too much time reading the papers to know that it’s getting harder for organizations to hire good people. Baby boomers are retiring, and there just aren’t enough Canadians willing to fill the jobs. It’s especially tough for the public sector. Nurses, politicians, civil servants, er — public radio hosts — not exactly glamorous jobs. Which is why one public organization in this country is taking a rather unique approach to recruiting folks from the digital generation. The CBC’s technology columnist Tod Maffin explains.
For some reason, this file seems to be 10% slower. I have no idea why. Some weird-ass MP3 conversion problem I guess. <sigh> Why can’t this stuff be easy?

I’ve encountered similar playback problems with other podcasts. Apparently it’s a problem with the audio sample rate (www.summitsolutions.co.uk/blog/how-to-correct-the-chipmunk-effect-in-the-podpress-flash-player). For some reason it needs to be 44kHz. Your podcast is 48kHz. I agree. This stuff needs to be easier.
Interesting Ed. I’ll have to remember that as well when posting audio.
Tod, any idea why all these reply fields seem a bit “Centered”?
That’s weird. I don’t see them centered. Does anyone else?
