Podcasting’s most underrated - Michael Bhardwaj
The CBC’s Michael Bhardwaj has two things working against him as a Podcaster… the grassroots Podcast community sees him as being a part of a media machine, and the media machine of which he is a part has not yet translated his incredible talent into a position as an on-air host.
Michael shines as host of Ontario This Week, a weekly digest show of segments from the CBC’s Ottawa Morning, Ontario Today and All In A Day. At least, that’s the way it’s billed. Michael is pretty much a one-man production when it comes to Ontario This Week and he has done a lot to make the show his own. In January, he produced a few episodes that had nothing to do with the on-air programs he is charged with promoting, including one on new year’s resolutions and another in which he talked to an author at a local coffee shop — a showcase of Michael’s talents and the possibilities for CBC’s Podcasts.
