NSR: The beauty of blog awards

One of the stated purposes of the Canadian blog awards is to expose bloggers to the work of others. That way the community of bloggers grows and continues to support each other.

It's a bit cliché to think of it that way, but there is a lot of truth to the idea that we all drive each other's traffic.

With that in mind, I wanted to point people to the third place podcast winner (second place, Kyle with the world,is a podcast that would really only be of interest to those living in Yellowknife).

North by East West is a brilliantly simple concept -- take the old idea of a mixed tape and apply it to the modern idea of a podcast -- applied to a Canadian theme. Each podcast profiles the work of independent Canadian musicians by arranging their music into a mixed tape tape format.

I've already bookmarked it. If you're the type of person that likes to expose themselves to new music you should too.
