Members can still access and the download the podcast from CBC.ca
from the "Q" program homepage at:
Scroll down to the "Friday, August 29, 2008" listing, titled:
*Kate Rogers Band Friday Live*PenguinDating.co.uk*Arts Funding Cuts
Debate*
There were some very telling and frustrating comments, especially the initial
