Episode 21 - Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine - We Celebrate The Winners of The Canadian Podcast Awards, A New Year and Canadian Voices - January 2026

Welcome to a brand new year of Canadian podcasting, community, and creativity. In this episode of the Canadian Podcaster Online Magazine Podcast, host Dave kicks off 2026 with fresh energy, heartfelt gratitude, and a commitment to spotlighting the incredible voices that make up Canada’s growing podcasting landscape.

Dave reminds listeners why Canadian Podcaster isn’t just another email newsletter—it’s a living, interactive magazine that connects creators through stories, interviews, and shared experiences. With a mission to celebrate and amplify diverse Canadian voices, this platform is built on collaboration rather than competition. Every turn of the digital page showcases the people and projects shaping the podcasting space north of the border.

January’s edition of the magazine is an especially exciting one. This issue celebrates the 2025 winners of the Canadian Podcast Awards, honoring creators who have made an impact with their passion, quality, and storytelling. Many of these award-winning podcasters have already been featured in past issues, and this first edition of the year shines an extra spotlight on their continued excellence. Readers and listeners can discover their shows, listen to clips, and get inspired by some of the best in the country.

Dave also shares updates on the ongoing podcasting meetups that bring together creators from across Canada and around the world every week. These free sessions provide space for podcasters to connect, share advice, and build supportive networks—because, as Dave says, no one should podcast alone.

Looking ahead, Dave reveals ambitious goals for 2026, including creating new content every single day of the year and tackling a daring February challenge: recording 24 podcast episodes in 24 hours. It’s both a test of endurance and a celebration of creativity, inviting others to challenge themselves to grow and reach new milestones in their own ways.

The January magazine also highlights a must-read (and must-listen) book trilogy for creators—an engaging exploration of the idea that originality often comes from remixing existing ideas. For any podcaster battling creative block, it’s a reminder that innovative content comes from curiosity, not perfection.

As the new year begins, Dave invites listeners to share their goals, join the magazine community, and even contribute by writing for future issues. The spirit of this episode—and of Canadian Podcaster itself—is collaboration, connection, and collective celebration.

Key takeaway: Canadian podcasting thrives when we raise each other’s voices. Whether you’re an award winner, a first-time podcaster, or someone dreaming of launching your show in 2026, this year’s journey is about creating, connecting, and celebrating together—one episode, one idea, and one Canadian voice at a time.

Happy middle of November - this is a busy month!

Movember.com is in full swing - Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about. Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent. Mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer – we’re taking them all on.

Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.

NaPodPoMo is a month long event along the same vein as National Novel Writing Month aka NaNoWriMo. The difference? Well, instead of writing a 50,000 word novel, you podcast every day for 30 days from November 1st-30th.
