I’l be at the London Podcasters meetup this Friday (1st September) most likely, with John my partner likely to be in attendance, along with Scott from Night Nurse Show and Rob from Top of the Pods.
It’s at the Albert Tavern on Victoria Street near Victoria Station at 7pm – see you there?

Either bicycling with the Devil, table tennis with the Taleban or soccer with Saddam, it’s all exorcising your rights of free speech…just watch for those land mines. Oh who am I kidding? Nature knew what it was doing when it created me as a lavender limp wristed fag! Always last picked, and proud of it…
Also the usual mashups, remembering Bob and a new Churchy in the world! Be very, very scared…

Play hide the sausage here (it’s an olympic sport you know – one you have to complete in 43Mb or 75 minutes) http://www.realityengine.co.uk/radioclash/show-archive/rc_86.mp3

Now I see a lot of new podcasts out there, starting out and facing the same sort of issues I did and falling down the same holes. Now at the danger of sounding like a condescending kitten, there are a few pointers that Uncle Tim has that I’ve learned – maybe you’ll find these useful. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m a big fan of the mashup and musical artists The Who Boys and have played them many times on Radio Clash, so I was glad to hear from Mark that they have a podcast ‘Saturday Night With The Who Boys’ – and it’s good (and I’m not just saying that cos they gave me a shout out), like a mix of the best Saturday night around a friend’s house drinking and playing tunes, a very good classic mashup selection from rx, Cuban Boys, Loo & Placido, Dangermouse and Cassetteboy to their own tunes.

Feed doesn’t seem to be sorted yet, but you can find it on their MySpaz* site

EDIT: as commented below they have a feed – subscribe here!

I have been telling anyone personally who will listen about the stupidness of the liquid explosives plot and how it wasn’t possible because even my little-remembered rudimentary GCSE Chemistry (I had a very teenage practical interest in things that go bang, so I think I unusually took notice at that point) reminded me that liquids forms of things, especially explosive things, were usually extremely unstable. Hence why you have semtex, dynamite, etc (I wonder how many more keywords I can put in to confuse the keyword searching CIA bots!?)

So I was pleased to see via fellow LJblogger and podcaster nlotic that, in fact, I was right. An article from The Register shows exactly not only how unlikely it would be, but that it’s actually impossible on a modern commercial airline flight.

I wonder how long before it gets pulled or criticised by idiots for ‘telling the terrorists how to do it!’, totally missing the point, or the fact that the Journal of the American Chemical Society had all this info anyway years ago…and that this whole panic seems to be a fraud, or intentional scare with no teeth, at best.

Stupid science, stupid panic – but that never stopped politicians and security wonks before, did it?
