jPod is a Canadian comedy-drama television series based on Douglas Coupland's 2006 novel of the same name.[1] It premiered on CBC Television on January 8, 2008. Starting with the fifth episode, the show began airing Fridays at 9:00.

On March 7, 2008, it was announced that the CBC had cancelled the show due to low ratings.[2] All of the remaining episodes—apart from episode 11, which was skyped and made available online—were broadcast.

The show's opening title theme is "Flutter" by Bonobo. Produced by I’m Feeling Lucky Productions for the CBC, jPod was created by Coupland and Michael MacLennan. Coupland also co-wrote many of the sole season's episodes.
