The links to the archived show recordings should be good for up to a month from the show date. If the links expire just let me know via comment and I'll re-upload them.

Unfortunately the cost of using free file sharing sites such as mediafire is possible exposure to questionable advertising in the form of nasty pop-ups (sorry). Prior to visiting the download links above I highly recommend installing and using pop-up, flash and ad-blocking extensions in your web browser on top of solid antivirus/internet security protection. Doing so hides/blocks all of that garbage.

CJSW Listener Survey

In an effort to better serve our listeners, CJSW is currently undertaking a comprehensive listener survey.

No matter if you are a new listener, a lapsed or infrequent listener or a devoutly regular listener, we want to hear from you. What are your favourite programs? (hopefully Katharsis is one) What do you like? What do you dislike? How can we do better? Please head on over to the cjsw listener survey site and let us know.

The survey runs until midnight, March 4, 2011. There are incentives for filling out a survey but the main incentive should be improved programming.

Thanks! Read more...
