Good Listening: This Week in Google

By Adam Tinworth on August 28, 2009 12:24 PM | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

I've just been reminded by a discussion on our company Yammer that I meant to recommend a new podcast called This Week in Google. It's the latest offering from the TWiT stable, is hosted by Leo LaPorte, and features journalism blogger Jeff Jarvis and smater-working blogger Gina Trapani.

Why do I recommend it? Well, it's really good at putting the changes coming to journalism in the context of what's happening in the rest of the web. All four published episodes are worth listening to, but I recommend episode 3, with Anil Dash of Six Apart, in particular.

Excellent brain food.

#be2camp : Construction Talk Podcasts

By Adam Tinworth on August 12, 2009 3:20 PM | 1 Comment | 0 TrackBacks

Victor Tsemo from the West Midlands Centre for Constructing Excellence podcasts is up next, talking about, well, podcasts. (They're available on iTunes)

Not a huge amount here that's specific to the built environment. It's more of a set of general podcasting tips:

plan
keep it short (15 to 25 mins)
Have a major name interview subject
Not too frequent (once or twice a month)
The chair is very important, because she must manage the guests

Some discussion on Twitter about Victor's suggestion that podcasting is expensive. Many people's experience is absolutely counter to that - you can produce good results cheaply and simply. But here's his recipe for doing it:

Estates Gazette: Podcasting and Blogging

By Adam Tinworth on March 6, 2009 5:14 PM | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

My feet don't seem to have touched the ground since I started back at EG on Wednesday. Things are moving pretty quickly.

First of all, we have a blog for MIPIM 2009 up and going, albeit in basic form. MIPIM is the huge property trade show that happens in Cannes in France annually. Popular property industry rumour suggests that it brings more money to the town than the film festival does. It'll prove a fertile ground for the EG folks to experiment with, I'm sure, but for now it's given over to two members of the industry who are riding to Cannes.

Also just launched is the first episode of the Estates Gazette podcast, produced by EGi's multimedia reporter, Helen Roxburgh, with a little help from Mr Big Biofuel Blog. It's not in iTunes yet (give us a week or so), but you can snag it from the Estates Gazette podcast site.

Oh, and one of my colleagues bought me a belated blog birthday cake:

Win.

Stephen Fry on the Web, Culture & Publishing

By Adam Tinworth on February 13, 2009 11:48 AM | 3 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

On my commute into the office this morning I listened to the Meet the Author: Stephen Fry podcast from Apple. I highly recommend it. Fry is as entertaining a raconteur as ever, and his meandering history of computers and the internet is well worth listening to.

However, the meaty stuff kicks off at around 43 minutes in, as he starts talking about the reaction of journalists to Twitter and moves onto the relationship between the web and our culture. Mach to agree with, and much to provoke thought.

You can grab it from iTunes.

Le Web 08: Podcasting Live

By Adam Tinworth on December 11, 2008 9:20 AM | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

One of the small moments of genius at Le Web 08 was the way the conference closed. It's so easy for conferences to end on a down note, with a bit of a damp squib as the audience drift away into the night. No so this year's affair, which actually managed to go out with a bang.

Finishing the conference with the live recording of two podcasts - Wine Library TV and the Gillmor Gang - gave a huge lift to the final hours. Gary Vaynerchuk is a hugely charismatic and passionate guy, and his talk preaching strong personality, love for your topic, openness to others and media channel ubiquity was both compelling and inspiring. And it was only improved by seeing him working live with a wine maker to record the show.

Equally, the Gillmor Gang recording saw a bunch of intelligent, knowledgeable guys (but all guys, sadly) really getting their teeth into some of the issues that had come out of the conference. There wasn't a whole lot of Love in what was said, bar the brave efforts of Hugh MacLeod and Loïc himself. Bit it was witty, entertaining and informative.

I'm glad I didn't leave early. It was well worth seeing.

Me, on a Podcast #2

By Adam Tinworth on November 4, 2008 3:26 PM | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

Talking of World of Warcraft, as the last post was, some people known that I live a secret blogging life as a Warcraft blogger (fewer pageviews, but more feed subscribers than this blog, oddly). I was part of a round table of Warcraft bloggers that got together for a podcast a few weeks ago - and which involved me getting up at 5am.

Anyway, deeply tired and geeky ramblings over on the Twisted Nether Blogcast, or you can snag it in iTunes (it's episode 20).

Podcast Interview with The Archers

By Adam Tinworth on November 1, 2007 5:08 PM | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

Ah, I'm very jealous of some of my colleagues on Farmers Weekly right now.

You see, I'm a huge fan of The Archers, a daily drama on BBC Radio 4, for the US readers of this blog. It's been an addition for me since my teenage years. My little dose of audio crack…

Well, four members of the cast were at the Farmers Weekly Awards last night, an event organised by Farmers Weekly. As you can see from the pic (at least, if you are as much of a fan as I am), the people present were stalwarts Trevor Harrison (Eddie Grundy), Timothy Bentinck (David Archer), Felicity Finch (Ruth Archer), and Charles Collingwood (Brian Aldridge).

And the mag's web editor, Julian Gairdner, took the opportunity to interview them. The lucky bastard.

You can grab the FWi podcast in iTunes, or stream it on Podomatic.
