(Page 1 of 1)2. Jason & Tyler, that episode was absolutely kickass! Way to go guys. Definitely the best cast to date. Where, oh where, is the Canadian version of Ron Conway? I want to meet him. I'm not that interested in raising funds, but if there were quality, experienced angels like Ron in Canada, I'd change my mind in a hurry.

3. Agreed. That was one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. Great questions, great answers and very insightful.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

6. Seems to be something wrong with the show in the iTunes Podcast Directory (not sure what the underlying feed is). It shows new items, but it refuses to download them (I'm assuming the links are bad).
I see you say "rss coming shortly", which may explain this, but just thought you should be aware that whatever is listed in iTunes Store doesn't seem to work.

7. Tim Marman is absolutely right. You call this a podcast, but you don't provide a valid podcast RSS feed. Therefore this is not a podcast. If you need some technical help with this I'm sure I can sort it out for you.

8. Perhaps this is not a big surprise, but the people at PodTech.net actually seem to know a bit more about how to make a podcast RSS feed than Tyler does, so you can get a properly formed feed off their website, such as: http://www.podtech.net/home/feed/?category_name=Calacaniscast
9. Great show. great to hear the inside story.

10. Jason,
This is one of the best podcasts/interviews I have seen, ever. For a young entrepreneur like myself trying to make a name for myself the information provided in the interview is invaluable. Thanks for such a great opportunity!!

11. Great content, very interesting to see hear his views on the bubble and the comments on PE firms that are throwing around cash at the moment to be part of the Web 2.0 game.
Thanks for the great insight into a great mind, look forward to the next one.
