Tod was one of Canada's podcasting pioneers and writes a well-read blog followed by thousands of people in the media, technology, and business community.

Tod hosts a national technology column on CBC Radio, and has hosted several national CBC Radio programs including Real Life Chronicles and todradio.com.

In January 1999, Tod launched MindfulEye.com, an artificial intelligence firm which developed the patented Lexant technology to perform syntactic analysis on public opinion comments posted on the Internet and aired in the media, thus providing a "mood monitor" of stocks.
