Don Taylor and Rick Dhaliwal, formerly of TSN 1040 in Vancouver are launching a daily show on CHEK-TV in Victoria - which will also be offered as a podcast.

CHEK itself has five podcasts, and their website even invites people to contact them to start their own podcast. One of them is actually hosted by a familiar name from Southwestern Ontario - Bruce Williams, who long ago co-hosted CFPL's One O'Clock Live with future CFTO mainstay Andria Case, he's now the CEO of Victoria's chamber of commerce and he hosts a business podcast.

It'll be interesting to see if any smaller local broadcasters in Ontario expand into this area.

Interested to know what percentage of podcasters can actually make a decent living doing it? It's gotta be very, very small. Big time celebs, etc...folks with ties to companies that will spend ad dollars, sponsorships, etc...

I follow a wresting podcast, POST, wrestling and it's two local guys from Toronto.  In fact, Toronto Mike had them on as guests within the past two years  They do podcasting as their full time employment.

Here's John Pollock and Wai Ting from POST Wrestling on Toronto Mike'd.
