I like pretzels.
It is kind of interesting how complicated life became after you created Britcaster. It’s been mostly positive, but Wow! the negative stuff has, at times, been super harsh. I know there have been several occasions where you and I have discussed killing Britcaster to shed ourselves (and others) of the negative attention, but know that the positive side of the community usually outweighs the bad apples.
It is appallingly easy for people to make assumptions and get nasty via the internet. With some of the things people say to each other, if it were a physical confrontation, you’d expect missing teeth. Yet for some reason negative comments fly online without fear of repercussion and tend to lack respectful regard for the other person. The safe distance of the web… lob away!
The curse of an online, proactive existence.
The curse of the keyboard warriors…
The level of anger, resentment and downright nastiness that has been shown towards you and the rest of the PodcastCon UK organisation team has on occassion left me speechless, and II’ve only been party to the public outpourings, I dread to think what your respective inboxes look like.
I can’t say I blame any of your from washing your hands of any followup event in 2007. Life is far too short to be taking this kind of crap over something you have done out of passion, not greed. Like you I suspect there won’t be a PCCUK 2007, which would be a real shame, but it might also be the reality check elements of the british podcasting community need.
Or am I just being a grumpy old man?

Neil you poor aggrieved soul!
You are in the middle of lots of positive activity which is vastly benefiting the podcast community. I think some people envy your position and this possibly accounts for some of the negatives.
It’s early days yet… keep your whiskery chin up. In the end, results speak for themselves.
Well, there’s one man who truly understands
The solution seems simple to me. Sell Britcaster!
That way everyone’s a winner, rather than letting it die out it could go on to be better or worse i.e. more left or right wing. Your critics would be able to say “I knew it - the sell out capitalist swine” but then bemoan how the person who bought is even worse and everyone would miss you. It would also mean you would get a bit of cash plus an end to all the headaches. You could then go on to do proper work (perhaps buying it back at a later date for a smaller amount)
Face it - if the conspiracy theories are true then the podshow machine will squash it anyway like a small animal crushed under the wheels of a juggernaut. Forums are dead anyway, it’s all about digg-able social network interactive sites these days.
Just take the money and buy a Ford Granada.
I’m not so sure, Conrad, I mean I could only do it if I could get enough for a Ghia… oh now there’s a car and a half.
There are always going to be “cottage cheese fluffy bunnies” around. In response to them (in the U.S.), we say “Just consider the source.” That puts a lot of chatter in the “not worth paying attention to” file!
Quick lets run off with the biscuit tin and badge holders (Jen, you can come too as you’re in on it) !
Jup, it is always amazing what people make their mind up about. I know it is not helping to tell you to not take it seriously and go over it - it is never easy to do so every time it happens.
This will not stop the nutheads in believing and stating otherwise but I think it goes without saying that no professional person would ever make this combination nor think of this as really happening.
mspoke: ‘keyboard warrior’ I never remember than character class in D&D. Disclaimer: I haven’t played D&D since I was a teen, stop sniggering.
Ginny: I’m thoroughly impressed, not only are you clearly reading more than one post here, but you’re using callbacks too! Awesome, truly awsome. Even I can’t manage that.
Paul: The biscuit tin doesn’t have any biscuits any more, mate… you’ll be disappointed.
Nicole: Thank you. I’m pretty much over it now, though I’ve lost all respect for the main individual concerned this time, and that’s always a shame.
I would just like to point out there is nothing wrong with still playing role-playing games in your forties…. absolutely nothing! Okay?
- Neil.
I had a stab at Ubercaster when it came out in the summer, but couldn’t get my head around it. Had another go this morning and it’s suddenly clicked.
I’ll use it for the next tartanpodcast.
It has vastly improved in recent weeks and the developer is very responsive to issues - though I’ve not found any as yet on the most recent version. Very cool in the way you have the dynamic recording ability yet retain editable tracks afterwards - first time I’ve come across anything that offers that. It has some depths to, which I’ve not yet properly delved.
