Just noticed that Public Radio International will start distributing WireTap on January 5th.  No info on how many US public radio stations will pick it up.

PRI announcement page. 

I received a request from CBC Radio to remove the wiretap episodes. My fingers were crossed that they would make the episodes available in some form on the Wiretap website before sending a take down request. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. They still need to work out rights issues. Note, they do have a Real Audio stream of an episode on the site, however, I believe the same episode has been there a while.  So I don’t think they are posting new episodes after they air.
If you want to catch the show you’ll have to tune in via the radio or live Internet stream.

Update: I originally set up the link to use Coral Cache to reduce bandwidth consumption. Someone reported the link didn’t work for them. Another said it was cut short. So I’ve updated the link. Try again if you had any trouble. -jared

The CBC today expanded their podcast line up.  Unfortunately, Wiretap is not included.  Several of their other podcasts are also “best of” which I’ve never understood.  Podcasting is for people who like the show, but want to time-shift. Just give the listener the original show.  Maybe a “best of” in addition to the full show.  WNYC does this with Studio 360, and it is often so boiled down that it is unlistenable.
