A while ago we asked the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation if they
had an online OPML directory of their podcasts. They replied they
didn't but would make one, and true to their word it has just gone
live. You can now browse and subscribe to all CBC podcasts on your S60
device by adding the directory address http://www.cbc.ca/podcasts.opml to your Podcasting application. We will be publishing a more detailed article about this later, but for the moment see our previous article on how to add directories to the S60 Podcasting application (the link also has the URLs for the BBC and NPR podcast directories). Also see our guide to podcasting on the Nokia 5800.
In case you're a bit lost about which sections to browse, here's a rough guide:
- CBC Radio 1 is news and current affairs
- CBC Radio 2 is music of all genres focusing on the 35+ age group
- CBC Radio 3 is alternative music focusing on those under 35
- CBC Radio-Canada is the French language service
- RCI is Radio Canada International (Canada's equivalent of the BBC World Service or Voice Of America)
- CBC Television is audio and video programming from the English TV network
(However, this isn't exact, and not every CBC podcast fits into a neat category.)
