PHREADZ podcast

Aug1

Well sort of. Some of the content from Kosso's phreadz.com is also available in MP4 format, which is kind of handy for ipod video. So I'm hoping this feed will populate my ipod with the fascinating conversations these guys are having. Only some of the content mind, not all of it, so these threaded video conversations might not be all that threaded. I have a horrible fear they might not be that interesting either. Why is so much (free) web content just so bad? I guess you get what you pay for.

I have found some that I like, that is free, here follows a summary. These are all audio only, I guess audio podcasting is a bit more established:

Collings and Herrin - Richard Herring and Andrew Collins. Only listened to a couple of these so far, but it's a recreation of a radio segment they used to do, but recorded on a laptop, on one of their kitchens, as neither of them has a radio show any more.
Cobra Beercast Dom Joly and Danny Wallace plus guests who have included Iain Lee and McKenzie Crook. Brilliant, hard to see how they can maintain it. Ooh, there's another one today.
Shindiggery - Iain Lee, bit weird.
www.guardian.co.uk/podcasts - their podcasts are nearly all great. I listen to their daily podcast every day, and the tech and music ones each week, but the occasional arts one is rubbish. The Guardian of course hosted the Ricky Gervais podcast, which really helped this whole thing take off.
Stephen Fry's podgram - I really like him, but it's self indulgent and whiny (like... oh) but also seems like it's fizzling out already. The first one started out in proper emo blog style, but the last one was him reading a speech he'd been paid to make by the BBC, hmm.

Some not so good one's that I've seen recently include geekbrief.tv and diggnation, they are both really light on content, geekbrief especially is based mostly around press releases it seems (from the few brief listens I've had). This is free content though, if I was trying to do regular news I'm sure I would resort to the same things. I will give these another chance, you'll be glad to hear. geekbrief.tv is produced (or executive produced) by Adam Curry, who you may remember mentioned here in the early days of podcasting. He was calling himself the Podfather before Ricky Gervais picked it up.

Um, I'm running out now, I will have to revisit this list.

Had a bit of a hitch with the ipod, computer crashed while syncing and I lost my whole library. Not the mp3's, they're all safe, but all the meta data about playlists and content I'd subscribed to is gone. My playlists were brilliant! It's a proper shame. I will be rebuilding this for most of the weekend, no time for any of the housework I had planned.

Zeitgeist

Dec21

Good toss del.icio.us is back up again today, this leads me to Google's zeitgeist report for 2005... this is some charts and graphs (I love charts and graphs) of on what people were searching for (and finding) this year. Interesting to see that podcasting gets a mention, but interest doesn't really seem to have grown much over the year.

JUST finished the latest Harry Potter, as an audiobook this time, so I don't look like a gimp who reads children's books on the train. Alright in parts, but not really recommended. I'm also hopefully about to finish Rob Grant's pretty terrible Incompetence. It's mostly a lot of whinges about how rubbish things are at the moment, but extrapolated into the future. So it's all the same complaints I have daily about how difficult it is to get anything done, get home on time, get parcels delivered, get anyone to do any work for you, but written down. Again, not recommended. Once I've got this out of the way (can't leave a book unfinished really) then I can get on with Fags and Lager, which I am looking forward. Plus hopefully santa will bring me a tome or two.

Back to the whinging, our train was late in again, today's delay was caused by another late running train, not really much of a reason. Every day this week we've had some problem, it's far more annoying to be held up on the way home though.

Read popbitch this week? Get it, it's good, and it's the last one until the 12th of Jan apparently. This week I particularly enjoyed "Do you like getting popbitch? Want to buy us a drink for xmas?" the popbitch forum is also closing from Christmas eve until the new year.
