You'll find the
podcast listed here under October 1, 2008. Although, one commenter called apophis is none too kind about the talk,
"A wonderful piece of PR for the Canadian Army, or propaganda for the uninformed citizens. Meanwhile Karzai is negotiating with the Taliban, trying to negotiate a peace deal, a sellout for the Canadian soldiers who have given their lives. How many censors had to give their approval for this story to published. Thank you Chris (pollyanna) Wattie for your dull boring article, I can't wait for the comic book." link
