Saviour of Radio 1; Destroyer of Worlds

Posted on Jun 3, 2009 - 11 Comments

The modern podcasting climate has changed considerably since its mainstream launch in 2005. Many podcasting giants have risen and fallen within the period but still the technology trundles on. The issue that many people have now is not maintaining a podcast, but actually creating one and successfully launching it.
When the iTunes Podcast store opened its [...]

My Daddy’s Internet Solutions

Posted on Aug 31, 2008 - 1 Comment

GoDaddy.com is the world’s largest reseller of .com domain names; they’re one of the most trusted companies on the internet and they’ve just started a UK branch.
Most people who listen to The Podzone know that the show is sponsored by GoDaddy.com, through a Mevio Producer Campaign, this explains why I’m dedicating an entire post to [...]

The Makings of Something Successful

Posted on Aug 19, 2008 - Leave a Comment

People have often asked me “what makes a successful podcast?”. Why they’re asking me I have no idea. It could be to do with the little success that I’ve had with The Podzone, or even the soon-to-be hit The Glitch; either way it feels my ego and I’m often happy to answer the question.
I personally define a [...]

Interning for the Evil Empire

Posted on Aug 3, 2008 - Leave a Comment

I love writing posts to my blog, I really do. Especially when I actually get a chance to sit down, lock myself away from the world and get on with it.
Over the past few months I’ve noticed that there are several breeds of blogger; those who blog about topics, those who blog for a [...]

Insert Some Witty Comment About Waiting Until September Here

Posted on May 13, 2008 - Leave a Comment

So its been two weeks at least since I last made an appearance. Last time we had contact I was coming up with script ideas, wondering whether to sign the new BTPodShow contract and working on my final assignments.
Well I’m pleased to say that I did indeed sign that new BTPodShow contract, which means that The [...]

To Sign or Not To Sign… It’s a Tough Question

Posted on Apr 26, 2008 - Leave a Comment

It’s over a year since I first signed my contract with BTPodShow / Mevio, consequently that first contract has terminated and there is a new one for me to sign. The question is then, why haven’t I picked up my pen, signed it and sent it off already? In all honesty I’m not too sure [...]

Night, Night, PodShow… Good Morning MEVIO!

Posted on Apr 24, 2008 - Leave a Comment

So the story that’s quite important for me today, as it affects me directly, is the news that PodShow (Podcasting pioneering company extraordinaire) is changing its name. What to? I hear you ask… MEVIO.
Yep, they’ve dropped the “Pod” from their name and the “Show” too, but that’s besides the point. There are rumours that MEVIO [...]

Typing My Day Away

Posted on Apr 9, 2008 - Leave a Comment

All I actually seem to be doing today is typing. Don’t get me wrong, I love to write and type, but there are some days when all you do is one thing and you just get a little fed up of it. However on the other hand I still love it, after all I wouldn’t [...]

PodShow is NOT Laying Off Employees

Posted on Mar 15, 2008 - Leave a Comment

The second of my three posts today is concerning PodShow, more specifically, the rumours circulating about PodShow’s current state. I’m not allowed to go into much detail about this, due to contractual reasons and moral obligations, but I shall try to clear the air a bit.
It has been reported on Valleywag that PodShow are making [...]

Another Week, Another Uninteresting Post

Posted on Oct 21, 2007 - Leave a Comment

Another week has gone by and still all I can manage to do is one post, but still I suppose that it’s better than nothing.
Last weekend I was kidnapped by my parents and taken back home for a few days, they were only supposed to pop up here with a receipt so that I could [...]
