Happy New Year, and welcome to 2012!

We’re kicking off the new year here at ChannelBuzz.ca with the New Year’s Podcast Series, a series of in-depth interviews with some of the biggest figures in the Canadian channel community (who also happen to be representative of our inaugural 2011 sponsors.)

Rather than the usual podcast format, which brings you four or five interviews of between five and ten minutes apiece, in this series we’re going deep with a single subject, talking about the year that was 2011 in hindsight, expectations and plans for the new year.

We kick off the series in style, chatting with Tech Data Canada president Rick Reid.
