Episode 37 - Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine - Naming Your Podcast, Canada In The News, More Great Canadian Voices - September 2026

Canadian Voices Have a Moment

Canada has captured attention around the world, creating an opportunity for Canadian podcasters to share their perspectives. People want to hear from voices on the ground, whether they cover business, parenting, motivation, authors, or another subject entirely.

Your podcast can add context to what people hear through traditional news sources. Your audience may also include Canadians living elsewhere who want to stay connected with home, along with people around the world who want to understand what happens here.

The Power of a Podcast Name

The debate around the name of Lake Ontario prompts a useful lesson for podcasters. Names carry meaning. They create identity and help audiences recognize what they already know and value.

Choose your podcast name carefully. Research it. Think about how listeners will find it and how they will connect with it over time. If you consider changing an established name, ask your audience for feedback before making the decision.

A name can become part of your show's history.

Support Canadian Podcasters

The Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine exists to give Canadian creators more visibility. Each edition features podcasters and provides readers with ways to discover their work.

Dave asks readers and listeners to support the creators featured in the September edition. Visit their shows, listen to an episode, leave feedback, send a message, or share their work. Canadian podcasters can strengthen the community by helping each other get discovered.

Do What You Can With What You Have

Dave shares a personal reminder after two floods disrupted his home and forced him to rebuild his podcast studio. He recorded outside, worked from his kitchen, and even used a Tim Hortons parking lot to upload an episode.

The circumstances changed. The commitment continued.

That same mindset applies whenever life disrupts your podcasting plans. Use what you have available and keep communicating with your audience when you can.

Canadian podcasters have an opportunity to step into the spotlight and share their perspectives while the world pays attention to Canada. Choose your podcast identity carefully, support fellow Canadian creators, and keep creating through whatever circumstances life brings.

Do what you can with what you have, where you are.

Canadian Podcasting in August

August brings another edition of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine, along with a personal update from Dave after back-to-back floods disrupted his home and podcast studio. Despite the damage, he continued podcasting from wherever he could, including the kitchen table and backyard. The situation reinforces how podcasting can provide a welcome connection and creative outlet when life gets difficult.

Canadian Creators and Podcasts

The August magazine showcases podcasts covering business, entrepreneurship, plant-based nutrition, gaming, marketing, education, music, publishing, birds, music therapy, and Canadian cities. Each feature offers listeners a quick introduction before inviting them to explore the full shows.

The episode also highlights the growing Canadian creator economy through a conversation about podcast strategy, audience discovery, branding, and measuring success. The discussion questions the value of social media metrics and looks instead at meaningful actions such as podcast downloads, website visits, event attendance, and audience loyalty.

Building a Podcast Community

Community sits at the heart of the upcoming Pod Summit in Calgary. The event celebrates three years of development and continues to focus on bringing Canadian podcasters together. The 2026 event takes place in October, with organizers emphasizing connection, participation, and the continued growth of Canada's podcasting community.

The magazine also invites Canadian podcasters to contribute articles, newsletters, opinions, resources, tools, and podcast features. The goal remains simple. Give Canadian creators a place to discover each other, share what they are doing, and help the wider podcasting community grow.

Key Takeaway

Podcasting keeps moving even when circumstances get messy. Strong communities, useful resources, meaningful audience connections, and a willingness to keep creating can help Canadian podcasters stay active and discover new opportunities.

How is the Canadian creator economy doing?

Episode 34 - Canadian Podcaster Mid-July Check In - Canada Day, PodGlue, Craig from Canadian History Ehx Hits the Road

The July edition of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine brings together another collection of inspiring Canadian creators, practical podcasting advice, and stories that celebrate the growing podcast community across the country.

This episode highlights several podcasts featured in the July magazine, giving listeners a preview of shows that cover history, creativity, leadership, books, technology, finance, community storytelling, climate awareness, entertainment, and podcasting itself. Each featured podcast reflects the diversity of Canadian voices while encouraging listeners to discover new creators and support independent productions.

A special spotlight is placed on Canadian History Ehx host Craig as he embarks on an ambitious cross Canada journey to document the country's history, landscapes, and small communities. Listeners are encouraged to follow his travels and support his efforts as he shares Canada's stories from coast to coast.

The episode also introduces Pod Glue, a new tool created by Junaid Ahmed to simplify podcast workflows and help creators build stronger relationships with guests while reducing the many disconnected tasks involved in producing a show.

Throughout the episode, practical advice is woven into the conversation, including the value of creating a dedicated podcast trailer. Rather than expecting new listeners to begin with a full episode, a short trailer gives audiences an easy way to understand what a podcast is about and provides a simple piece of content that listeners can share with others.

Dave also encourages more creators to consider launching podcasts focused on their own communities. Local podcasts have the power to highlight neighbourhood stories, celebrate local organizations, and strengthen connections between listeners and the places they call home.

The episode concludes with an invitation for Canadian podcasters to submit their own shows for future editions of the magazine, contribute articles, share podcast related businesses, and help grow a publication dedicated to promoting Canadian podcasting. As summer continues, listeners are reminded to enjoy the season while continuing to create, connect, and support fellow podcasters.

The Canadian podcasting community grows stronger when creators support one another, share valuable resources, promote great shows, and celebrate the unique stories found across every region of Canada. Every podcast has the opportunity to introduce listeners to new ideas while helping strengthen the voices that make Canadian podcasting so unique.

Episode 33 - Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine - Canada's 159th Birthday, Get on Track with Your Podcast, PodGlue - July 2026

This July edition of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine celebrates Canada’s 159th birthday while shining a spotlight on the growing strength of Canadian podcasting and the community behind it. The episode opens with a national celebration and an open invitation for listeners and readers from across Canada and beyond to connect, contribute, and be part of something bigger.

At its core, this episode is about building a collaborative space for Canadian podcasters. The magazine continues to expand as a platform where creators can submit articles, promote their shows, and share their voices. Whether you are a new podcaster or a seasoned creator, there is an open door to be featured, discovered, and supported. The goal is simple but powerful: make it easier for audiences to find and support Canadian content while strengthening the podcasting ecosystem across the country.

There is also a strong push for community participation. Listeners are encouraged to submit their podcasts, newsletters, and even tools or services that support podcasters. The magazine is positioned not just as a publication, but as a hub for connection, promotion, and collaboration. With features like mid month audio clips, readers can go beyond discovery and actually hear the shows before diving in.

A personal story adds depth to this month’s theme, as a reflection on family history and a locomotive in Northern Ontario becomes a metaphor for podcasting consistency. Just like trains are designed to run on tracks, podcasters benefit from staying aligned with key paths such as consistency, focus, quality, and purpose. Staying on track is framed not as limitation, but as direction.

The episode also introduces PodGlue, a new tool by Junaid Ahmed designed to support podcasters behind the scenes. From managing guest relationships to improving workflow and discoverability, it represents the kind of innovation that can help creators stay organized and grow more effectively.

Support and sustainability are also addressed, with listeners invited to contribute through Buy Me a Coffee to help cover production tools and keep the magazine growing.

Growth in podcasting does not happen in isolation. Stay on track with your content, plug into your community, and take advantage of tools and opportunities that help you move forward with purpose.

Episode 32 - Canadian Podcaster Mid-June Check In - Summer Plans, Pride Celebrations, Father's Day and Men's Mental Health Awareness Month

This mid-June check-in from the Canadian Podcaster brings together celebration, reflection, and practical insight for creators across the country. Recorded during a summer storm in Niagara, the episode captures the energy of June as a month filled with meaning, from Pride celebrations to Father’s Day and Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. At its core, this episode reinforces the importance of community, both in podcasting and in life, encouraging listeners to support one another and share the growing Canadian Podcasting ecosystem.

A key focus is visibility and connection. Listeners are invited to share the Canadian Podcaster magazine and podcast with other creators, helping expand a network built on collaboration and mutual support. The episode also highlights tools and resources available through the magazine, including podcast discovery platforms like Find That Pod and curated free tools for creators looking to grow without financial barriers.

A practical insight from the “Behind the Mic” feature tackles a common challenge in podcasting: low listener engagement. The episode explains how placing calls to action at the very end of an episode often results in missed opportunities, as many listeners drop off before reaching that point. By simply moving calls to action earlier in the episode and reviewing analytics to understand listener behavior, podcasters can improve engagement and response.

The episode also takes time to spotlight Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, emphasizing the importance of breaking stigma and encouraging men to seek support. Listeners are reminded that strength does not mean silence, and that resources such as Talk Suicide Canada and organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association are available. The message is clear: check in on others, and on yourself.

In addition, the episode celebrates a diverse lineup of Canadian podcasts, showcasing storytelling, business insights, legal discussions, history, and unique personal narratives. These features reinforce the richness of the Canadian podcast landscape and the value of sharing and supporting fellow creators.

Key takeaway: Small, intentional actions such as moving your call to action, sharing another creator’s work, or checking in on someone’s well-being can create meaningful impact in both your podcast growth and your community.

June is recognized as Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, an important time to break the stigma surrounding mental health challenges in men. The campaign challenges the "tough guy" stereotype and encourages men to seek help.

Men's mental health issues are often overlooked or dismissed, which can lead to severe consequences. Some key realities regarding men's mental health include:

Episode 31 - Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine - Summer in Canada, Take Podcasts With You - June 2026

Episode 31 of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine marks the arrival of June and the unofficial start of summer in Canada, while also celebrating a growing global audience now spanning over 60 countries. This milestone reflects the power of independent creators connecting across borders, and reinforces the core mission of the magazine: to support and spotlight podcasters who are building shows מתוך passion, not large budgets.

Host Dave shares a personal invitation for deeper connection, encouraging listeners to send voice messages through SpeakPipe, contribute photos from their corner of Canada, and even submit written pieces to be featured in future issues. The magazine is positioned as a collaborative space, shaped by the voices and creativity of the community it serves.

This month’s edition highlights ten Canadian podcasters and introduces valuable free tools designed to help creators grow and share their work more effectively. Pod Link is emphasized as a simple and powerful way to distribute podcast episodes across all listening platforms, giving audiences choice and accessibility. Another featured tool, Find That Pod, along with its companion podcast Talk That Pod, brings a uniquely Canadian contribution to podcast discovery.

A central theme throughout the episode is the importance of meaningful audience connection. Dave challenges creators to go beyond surface-level engagement by responding personally to listeners, supporters, and contributors. Whether through voice messages, direct replies, or personalized thank you videos, these small but intentional actions can build lasting loyalty and community. In a digital world filled with automation, genuine human interaction stands out.

The episode also reframes podcast growth, reminding creators that success is not about reaching the largest audience, but about connecting with the right audience. Listeners who resonate with your message and feel seen and valued are the foundation of a strong and sustainable podcast.

As the summer begins, podcasters are encouraged to either recharge or continue creating, but most importantly, to prioritize connection. The magazine remains an open platform for discovery, collaboration, and shared growth within the Canadian podcasting space.

Key takeaway: True podcast growth comes from meaningful human connection, not audience size.

Episode 30 - Canadian Podcaster Mid-May Check In - Podcasting May Just Be Your Springboard into A Great Community

In this mid May check in episode of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine, Dave brings together the heart of Canadian podcasting through community, collaboration, and discovery. Framed around the idea that podcasting may become your springboard into a great community, the episode highlights how creators can support one another while building meaningful connections across Canada’s growing podcast landscape.

Dave shares updates about the magazine, invites creators, writers, and podcast related businesses to participate, and encourages listeners to help spread the word about Canadian podcasters.

Listeners are introduced to a diverse collection of podcasts featured in the May 2026 edition of the magazine.

Dave also highlights hyper local content such as River Valley Podcast and niche community shows like Saskatchewan Podcast, emphasizing that local storytelling remains one of podcasting’s greatest untapped opportunities. Along the way, he shares free podcasting resources, production tools, and practical advice for creators who want to improve and grow their shows without spending heavily.

The episode closes with a thoughtful conversation about podcast accessibility and audience connection inspired by an interview with podcaster Mark Ronick about ADHD and podcasting. Dave encourages creators to think carefully about how their shows are structured and how editing, pacing, and formatting can help audiences stay engaged.

At its core, this episode is both a celebration of Canadian podcasting and an open invitation to creators to participate, collaborate, and build something together. The message is clear: podcasting is not just about publishing content. It is about finding your people, supporting creative voices, and creating a community that listeners want to return to again and again.

Key takeaway: Podcasting can become far more than a creative outlet when creators intentionally support one another, share opportunities, and build authentic communities around their work.

Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine returns for April 2026 with a spring update centered on connection, community, and the growth of Canadian podcasting.

Episode 25 - Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine - Canadian Podcasting Events, Podcast Tools and Canadian Voices - March 2026

The March 2026 edition of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine podcast celebrates Canadian voices, community, and practical tools for podcasters, with a special spotlight on events and opportunities to connect.

Host Dave opens by explaining why the magazine exists: a free, interactive, page-turning online publication designed specifically to showcase Canadian podcasters, highlight their shows, and give listeners clickable access to every featured podcast. He invites listeners to share the magazine and podcast with other Canadian creators, underlining the goal of raising the profile of Canadian voices both at home and worldwide. International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8, 2026, anchors this month’s theme, with curated links and features celebrating women in podcasting across Canada and encouraging listeners to support their shows directly through the magazine.

Community is a major thread throughout the episode. Dave talks about the long-running, twice-weekly “How To Podcast” meetup on Tuesdays and Saturdays, an open global gathering where podcasters from countries like Canada, France, Italy, and the US meet online to encourage one another and talk shop, completely free and funnel free. He then introduces a new, more focused Canadian Podcaster Pod Lounge, a private virtual gathering just for Canadian podcasters happening Saturday, March 14, 2026, intended as a town-square style conversation about Canadian podcasting, feedback, and mutual support. Local community gets equal attention through Pod Bench, a new in-person meetup for podcasters in Hamilton and Niagara, Ontario, created in partnership with Manisha from The Archery Podcast, offering a home for everyone from brand-new hosts to veterans with hundreds of episodes.

The magazine also leans into written contributions and encouragement. Dave highlights writer and podcaster Scarlet Classic, whose article on imposter syndrome appears in this issue, and invites Canadian creators to submit their own pieces, including repurposed Substack posts, so their work can reach more people while linking back to their original platforms. He gives a special shoutout to Sharon’s brand new show, The Duh Factor, aimed at helping business owners better embrace and serve their customers, and notes that listeners can meet Sharon and others at the regular meetups.

Events and initiatives fill out the rest of the episode. Dave previews Podcasthon, running March 14–20, where podcasters feature and support a chosen charity through a dedicated episode, with easy signup and the ability to filter participating shows by country, making it simple to find Canadian participants. He points ahead to Pod Summit in Calgary, returning October 16–17, as a key Canadian podcasting conference to put on the calendar. The “Podcast Library” pick for March is Austin Kleon’s Steal Like an Artist, a creative nudge for podcasters to remix inspiration boldly and ethically into their own work.

Dave closes with a run-through of tools and resources featured in the magazine, including SpeakPipe for collecting listener voice messages, Podlink for clean show links, PodSEO for search optimization, WavePad (an AI-powered episode summary service), and Adobe Podcast’s enhancement tools, including a new slider that can separate music from spoken audio for paid users. He also points listeners to Podnews for global industry coverage and Pod the North with Katie for Canadian-focused podcast news and advocacy, affirming the importance of staying connected to Canadian-centric resources. Throughout, he reiterates that the magazine and podcast are free, driven by listener feedback, and built to become a deep, practical resource for Canadian podcasters, inviting ideas, voice messages, and participation in both virtual and in-person events.

Key takeaway: Canadian podcasting thrives when creators show up together. This episode calls Canadian podcasters to step out of isolation, join community spaces, support one another’s shows, and use the tools and events available this month to elevate both their craft and their fellow creators.

Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine – February 2026

February brings more than heart-shaped chocolates — it’s a reminder to rediscover what we love. In this new episode of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine Podcast, host Dave opens the month with energy, warmth, and a challenge for independent creators across Canada: fall in love with your podcast again.

It’s Valentine’s season, and Dave draws playful parallels between the spirit of connection and the world of podcasting. Like giving out childhood Valentines, podcasting is all about reaching out — nurturing community, showing appreciation, and staying connected with your audience. Whether your show attracts ten listeners or ten thousand, February is a chance to rekindle that sense of joyful creativity and purpose.

Dave encourages podcasters to look beyond analytics and focus on the people behind the numbers. He revisits three ways to reignite passion for your content — returning to your “why,” trying something new with your format, and making your podcast fun again. Genuine enthusiasm, he reminds listeners, is contagious; when you love what you create, your audience hears it too.

The episode also highlights featured contributors in this month’s magazine, including Scarlett Classic, whose article on avoiding “podfade” perfectly complements the theme of creative endurance. Dave shares shoutouts to a lineup of Canadian voices and introduces useful tools for podcasters, such as PodLink for sharing shows easily and PodMatch’s monthly industry reports for tracking trends and opportunities.

Dave turns the conversation toward the deeper meaning of passion — not just excitement, but endurance. Drawing from his Dad Space podcast, he explains how real passion involves the willingness to suffer and persevere for what matters most. It’s a message that resonates with every creator fighting through burnout or doubt. True passion, like true love, takes resilience.

The episode concludes with a tribute to Canadian icon Catherine O’Hara, celebrating her humour, creativity, and the enduring joy she brought to audiences worldwide. Dave closes with a simple, powerful message — laughter, creativity, and passion are lasting gifts that connect us all.

Dave also shares updates on the ongoing podcasting meetups that bring together creators from across Canada and around the world every week. These free sessions provide space for podcasters to connect, share advice, and build supportive networks—because, as Dave says, no one should podcast alone.

Looking ahead, Dave reveals ambitious goals for 2026, including creating new content every single day of the year and tackling a daring February challenge: recording 24 podcast episodes in 24 hours. It’s both a test of endurance and a celebration of creativity, inviting others to challenge themselves to grow and reach new milestones in their own ways.

The January magazine also highlights a must-read (and must-listen) book trilogy for creators—an engaging exploration of the idea that originality often comes from remixing existing ideas. For any podcaster battling creative block, it’s a reminder that innovative content comes from curiosity, not perfection.

As the new year begins, Dave invites listeners to share their goals, join the magazine community, and even contribute by writing for future issues. The spirit of this episode—and of Canadian Podcaster itself—is collaboration, connection, and collective celebration.

Key takeaway: Canadian podcasting thrives when we raise each other’s voices. Whether you’re an award winner, a first-time podcaster, or someone dreaming of launching your show in 2026, this year’s journey is about creating, connecting, and celebrating together—one episode, one idea, and one Canadian voice at a time.

Episode 3 - Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine - What Can Ruin Your Podcast, Spring Podcast Changes, Elbows Up, Maple Leafs For All - April 2025

April is here and change is in the air, in our gardens and all around us! This is a season for change and improvement with our podcast as well! Mike Meyers gave us the signal on SNL to go in wiht our elbows up - it is time to think about how we can self-identify as Canadian Content Creators and to make clear purchase decisions on where we spend our money when we look to hire support for our podcast and support needs.

Kattie at PodTheNorth has encouraged us to proudly include a Canadian maple leaf on our art work - Kattie writes...

"Why not put “Made in Canada” in your podcast description? With the US placing tariffs on Canadian businesses, there’s been wide spread interest across the country to “support Canadian” — even if tariffs aren’t necessarily impacting the podcast ecosystem. This is a huge moment, and Canadians want to hear more from Canadians. This is a great time to be explicit about where your podcast is produced and the people behind it to not only make it easier for Apple to feature your show in any future Canadian podcast intitiatives, but also to help listeners find you."

Source: https://podthenorth.substack.com/p/finally-apple-is-featuring-podcasts

What a great idea! When you can, select Canadian this April - invest in fellow Canadian creators, invite Canadian guests on your show - raise awareness for Canadian Content Creators and encourage others in this space. We have something special here - we need to celebrate all things Canada - not just once a year! Canada Day is everyday!

April's edition includes Johan from ArkPodcasts.ca - Johan shares his thoughts on what can ruin your podcast for your audience - check out his amazing Canadian business and suite of services - https://www.arkpodcasts.ca/

Episode 1 - Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine - PodSummit, Podcasthon, MowPods, and the Launch of our new Magazine - March 2025

Greetings from Niagara Falls, Ontario and welcome to Canada's newest online magazine for Canadian Podcasters! The intent for this new online magazine is to shine a light on all things podcast related here in Canada. The briming Canadian pride we are seeing currently from overtime goals in Canadian hockey, to conversations on how we as Canadians can make things better within our country, the timing seemed right to bring another opportunity to celebrate Canadian content creators! Thank you for throwing your toque in the ring and connecting with the Canadian Podcaster Magazine.

So, what happens next... The Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine will always be free, like, always, true north strong and free kind of free. I, Dave, the guy emailing you right now will send out a quick recap of what is available within the magazine month to month. No spammy funnels or bait and switch, just a free online magazine for us Canadian Podcasters.

I am putting out a call with this first email to ask for more than just your email, I would love to get your input, submissions and contributions to help this to become an inclusive tool to support the Canadian Podcasting Community - this first edition is like your podcast episode one - good enough to get started, but just as we grow as podcasters through repition, I am eagerly anticipating that this online magazine will find its own unique voice over time. With your feedback and submissions, this resource will grow and improve over time. You can't get to episode 100 in your podcast without episode 1 - so this is our episode 1.

For our first edition, a few call outs! I have highlighted a few podcasting events coming up this year, please let me know about the events that you are aware of so that I can add them to April's upcoming edition! Please check out the mowpopd highlight - this is a fabulous Chartable replacement to see your global Apple top 200 rankings with more features coming very soon (and it is free). I would love more Canadian Podcast recommendations, so please share your favourite Canadian Podcast. Podcasthon is happening this month! Be sure to register your podcast for free and support your favourite charity - as a side bonus, the backlink from the Podcasthon.org website to your podcast website will net you some powerful SEO juice too!

If you have any Canadian Podcaster Classifieds please pass them along! I would love to share resources within Canada to help each other - imagine sending off one of the many unused microphones cluttering up your space to a new podcaster lacking the funds to purchase a new mic! Keep your eye on this section!

Currently our CanadianPodcaster.com website url redirects to our True Media Solutions page, we are building out our new site and this should be ready in the next few weeks.

Check out our companion podcast releasing monthly (for now) because we know podcasters love another podcast to listen to! More on the website as well - drop by for a listen!

Thanks for your interest, I hope to have the honour of connecting with you in person, virtually or via the podcast - thank you for all you do to share your message with the world and for making Canada better because of your podcast

With much gratitude and appreciation!

Dave, Podcast Host, Pizza Fan and Canadian
