      Just a quick correction: I’m articling at the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, not the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation!

      Woops! Thanks for the clarification Kathleen. Sorry about that mix up.

      Hi Colette

      Thanks for this episode. It was really interesting to hear the differences between Canadian and US law on the one hand and also the aspects of Canadian law which are similar or different to South African law.

      Hi, Colette.

      Just wanted to thank you for your podcast. I found it a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying listening to it. It’s great to have helpful information from a podcaster who practices law.

      By the way, I had one question. If businesses want to pay me to advertise on my podcast, how do I go about it as far as the IRS and taxes go? Do I need to obtain a business license for my podcast? Or is there a simpler way to do it without having to get a business license?

      If you can give me some advice, I would really appreciate it. I think it’s something that would help other podcasters as well.

      Thanks!

      Hi Colette,

      I don’t know if it’s just me, but after hearing you on TWiM last week, I decided to subscribe to your podcast through iTunes. Well, for whatever reason, none of the 18 episodes are downloading. I click the handy “Get all episodes” button, and it just cycles through each episode in 10 seconds, and none download, where as all other podcasts download fine. It’d like to NOT have to download each episode individually, but I will if I have to.

      Am I the only one with this problem, or is it more of a wide spread problem?

      Thanks for the note Jay. We’ve checked out our feed and indeed there was a change to the iTunes information that needed to be updated. If you delete your current feed and re-subscribe anew, you should be able to “get all episodes” at one time.

      Thanks Colette. I’m kind of glad there was a problem, and not just me, lol. Thanks for the prompt response, I’m downloading now.
