Hi Nora, have you ever considered adding chapter markers to the Spark podcast file? As someone who listens to the Spark Extra feed, I usually skip the interviews I have heard before - but there is no easy way to do this (at least on my 2G Nano). It would be nice if I could just click the 'next' button to move to the next segment.

Keep up the great work at Spark!

I agree with most of Stoddart's views, but she seems to have a bit of an anti-business streak. The fact that she repeatedly emphasized "profit" as a nefarious motive, and that she thinks police intrusions into privacy are *less* of a concern than corporate intrusions, struck me as a bit overzealous.

Isn't it a bit odd that Mansbridge agreed to the hockey rink setting? Shouldn't journalists try not to be complicit in this kind of imagery?

We're talking about a difference of less than $10 during a normal parliamentary term. Why not vote strategically and give a roll of toonies to your favourite party?

Great episode - but still waiting on that audio feed so I can listen to it on my ipod.

Nora, you could use an audio clip from the video in your episode on this subject, it features some passionate arguments on both sides.

For anyone interested in the privacy interests of Facebook photos, the students at the U of T law school devoted an entire mock hearing to it before three (actual) judges: http://bit.ly/fp9nOc
