CBC management felt the same&mdash;"Search Engine" was downgraded from a full radio show to a <a href="http://www.penmachine.com/2008/06/sayonara-search-engine">podcast only</a> last year, and recently got cancelled altogether, despite being one of the network's most popular podcasts.</p> <p>Fortunately, TVOntario <a href="http://www.tvo.org/searchengine">picked it up</a>, and host Jesse Brown has now put out two episodes at the podcast's new home. (You can subscribe using the <a href="http://feeds.tvo.org/tvo/searchengine">RSS feed</a> or <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=315348503">at iTunes</a>.) The <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4787796669">Facebook group</a> stays the same, with the new name. If you were a "Search Engine" listener before, I encourage you to subscribe at the <a href="http://feeds.tvo.org/tvo/searchengine">new feed</a>.</p> <p>And I do have to say, Brown's new <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/penmachine/3590763887/" title="Search Engine old and new by penmachine, on Flickr">clean-shaven look</a> is a big improvement over his old scruffy '70s rock star beard.</p> <p>P.S. "<a href="http://www.cbc.ca/spark">Spark</a>," to which I've occasionally <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/spark/2008/05/episode-35-april-30-may-3-2008/">contributed</a>, continues on at CBC, and is growing from a half-hour show to a full hour on the radio in the fall.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8323756464766188140-1377916207408384055?l=www.penmachine.com%2Findex.php'/></div>Derekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06305726604191188040noreply@blogger.com0
