Although the response was much quicker than anticipated – perhaps we are in world record off- season – I received notification today that my and phil’s application for May’s record breaking podcast event has been rejected as an official record attempt…. Fingers crossed they are able to look on this and make a genuine consideration that our fun time in May could be a worthy record breaking event.

I spent an hour last week chatting over Skype with Adam Curry. If you don’t know the name, then likely you are not into podcasting.Covering topics such as the cross-Atlantic attitudes to podcasters, Podshow’s possible commercial presence in London, podcasting and mobile phones, and some of the recent activity within the UK podcasting space – in particular the MCPS-PRS podcaster music license and the possible formation of a UK Podcasters Association.Coming perfectly timed just before Adam and other members of the Podshow team get together for an informal meet with UK podcasters this coming Sunday in London, I hope this interview gives some food for thought and an insight into Podshow’s motives and ideals for their involvement with podcasters in the UK.

Your registration will be checked by an admin for eligibility.”And the Terms & Conditions state that a podcast is considered British only if: “At least one of the regular significant, audible contributors to the podcast show must be a citizen of the UK or UK expat living abroad.”Yet, over a third of podcast submissions are from podcasters who are clearly not British (mostly American)!… The form itself even bounces if the registrant chooses any nationality other than British – stating in a bright red error message: “Britcaster only accepts registrations from British podcasters…”I realise that many podcasters out there desperate for an extra listener or two will just fill in forms willy-nilly, but how do they believe a blatant mirepresentation by being a non British podcast on an exclusively British listing site can benefit them in any way?It escapes me.I check all submissions manually for eligibility and request further evidence of their Britishness if it is not clear from the podcast and/or website that they are in fact British.

Phil Coynes, creator, producer and presenter of the bitjobs for the masses independent music podcast, started a weekly internet radio live show last night.”It was knackering though,” he said in a chat this morning, “I had IMs being thrown at me all over the place…. I can sympathise after doing several live radio shows over Live 365 a couple of years ago.Phil is planning to grow the show with more great music and special guests.

The primary remit is to enable a mechanism for internal communication within an organisation with a reputation for non-corporate ideology.One telephone conversation with the project manager and it is clear they want something different here, something unique, something which will reflect their personality and enhance, or more accurately activate, communication between departments and individuals. Nothing about this solution requires anything special with regard to technical specification: a capable webserver on the network will do just fine for access by 350+ staff members.Yet based on a discussion with the client in our initial meeting yesterday, the majority of pitches I was competing against took the tone of creating the most technically superior and stable hardware/software platform for the application.

Now and then I take a peek at the Google Pagerank for this site and discovered this morning it has risen from 5 to 6. That is very satisfying for a small, insignificant blog without any real focus or pagerank strategy up its sleeves.

Celtx is a new approach to creating films, TV shows and other media projects.Celtx provides full featured script writing, media rich production support and the ability to collaborate all using one piece of software.And it’s all free.I suspect the collaborative aspect might see some charging in the future, particularly once they have implemented the planned versioning of documents for managing multiple authors.

Even with Podcastcon UK looming, I did manage to finally find the time to finish off the first BritCaster podcast.

Watch any interview with him, and you’ll soon realise that Brent/Gervais are one and the same and that disappoints me so much it turns me off his comedy.I’ve watched his standup and find it clumsy, forced and entirely lacking in comic timing…. Maybe one day I’ll meet the guy and change my mind – that’s always a joyful occasion (similar experience with Ikea springs to mind)But now, he’s going to podcast.
