Canadian Couch Potato

Canadian Couch Potato is a podcast designed to help you become a better investor with index funds and ETFs. It is hosted by veteran journalist, blogger, and portfolio manager Dan Bortolotti.

Dan offers straight-up, practical advice for Canadians who want to learn more about index investing, whether they manage their own portfolios or work with an advisor.

Episodes typically feature an interview with an expert on a specific investing or financial planning topic. In a segment called “Bad Investment Advice,” Dan pokes fun at unhelpful articles in the financial media, and for “Ask the Spud” he’s joined by his colleague Amanda Dalziel to answer investing questions from listeners and blog readers.

Hosted on Libsyn and measured by Chartable and Podtrac

This podcast may use tracking and attribution and dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Libsyn, Chartable and Podtrac to help Canadian Couch Potato to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Libsyn and Podtrac are IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Tracking and attribution: Chartable or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Canadian Couch Potato later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to Canadian Couch Potato also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Dynamic content insertion: Libsyn may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Canadian Couch Potato may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Canadian Couch Potato is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
