Radio College of Canada RCC Alumni

Here's a message from a fellow RCC grad of 1986, Mark Rector

Hey there as a former RCC that has written a best selling book about our whole history of Canadian Inventions inventors and firsts, I started a podcast based on the almost 300 stories in the book to spread the word!
The podcast, like the book, is called OH CANADA! Our Home and INVENTIVE Land! and has a huge amount of electronics related stuff we invented here, most notably and well known being the telephone, the Canadarm, the BlackBerry! But there are dozens of unknown ones like the pacemaker, AM radio(and many radio related parts!), the walkie talkie, the AC vacuum tube, all the avionics inventions that went into the Avro Arrow, the alkaline battery, the CCD in yer phones camera and many many more.
I was hoping you'd let me post a link to the podcast for your many fellow members so they could hear about all these great Canadian achievements in Canadian innovation and ingenuity. Can I post directly with a description and link or should I forward it to you to post as a hey here's a great podcast I heard about it's really fun with my written description and link?? How would you prefer to do it?? Thanks

PS here is the link if you'd like to listen to the one on the AC vacuum tube..
It's was Ed Rogers BTW ...he guy who started Rogers Communications that grew out of the Toronto radio station CFRB!

Edward Rogers and the invention of the A.C. vacuum tube! | Podcast Episode on RSS.com This is the amazing story of a very brilliant young man who not only explores the early world of radio communications, he goes on to invent the A.C. vacuum tube which allowed us all to have a radio in the front room and gather around to listen to Saturday night hockey games!
