View Julien Smith's profile on LinkedIn

I am a 26 year old designer, entrepreneur, student, and podcaster. I live in the Plateau area of Montréal, where I frequent far too many web cafés. Montréal is also the city where I was brought up and have lived my entire life.

I have been podcasting since November of 2004. I am one of the first podcasters in Canada, and definitely the first in Quebec and Montreal. My podcast started on a whim, to connect with people through this new medium as it developed. As it expanded, the world of podcasting as a medium quickly enveloped me. I found myself devoting a great deal of time and energy to learning about the broadcasting medium, and now focus a majority of my work hours on podcasting, blogging, and their related mediums, both as a consultant for companies and for myself. My work has been written up in Hour magazine, La Presse, the Montreal Gazette, the CBC, among other publications.

Aug 2006 ::: In Over Your Head begins on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 102 (Fridays at 7:30 Eastern).

Jun 2006 ::: Spoke at two conferences: National Community Radio Conference in Ottawa, and Podcasters Across Borders in Kingston, Ontario. I rocked both of them, in case you’re wondering. :)

Apr 2006 ::: In Over Your Head is named one of the ten best art/entertainment blogs in Canada.

Jan 2006 ::: Along with M-C Turgeon, was the first blogger to be given journalist access for the outstanding circus company Cirque du Soleil.

Aug 2005 :::Zundfunk German Public Radio
Marie-Chantale Turgeon und Julien Smith sind zwei Podcaster aus der City of Pop in der Provinz Quebec. Sie spielen neuen HipHop, Elektro, Indie und Punkrock aus Kanada.

July 2005 ::: Signed on to work with Podshow, a startup founded by ‘Podfather’ Adam Curry and Ron Bloom. Along with a few other music shows, I am the face of the Podsafe Music Network, a tool which connects podcasters with musicians from all over the world.

My expertise with podcasting and other new media projects has allowed me to aid a variety of individuals, organizations, and companies to develop forward thinking solutions to traditional marketing problems. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.

    Yo man…. great show… but you ever think about adding some time to it so you can play more music. I love the show but wish there was more time for music. I have very similar taste in Hip-Hop that you do… lets hear some more tunes

    Julien: I was one of your fellow Test the Nation bloggers.

    Because I’m a big nerd, I have it in my head to collect the scores of any bloggers brave enough to share them in one place.

    If you’re willing, send me an email with your score (once you receive it), the URL you want me to link to, and a brief comment or something similar, if you like. If you want to send in your score anonymously, I’ll post that too.

    If you want, I’ll let you know when I start receiving scores, and I’ll dump them all in a single post on wiredcola (aka globadom.com; I have a weakness for dumb urls).
