Podcasts are a strange beast, I’ve tried and failed to launch a few over the last year or so.
These have included looks at the world of geek culture that was little more than a reading of the Up Your Ego Blog – which to be honest you could do better yourself.
The other main one was the Jaffa Cake podcast, a weekly look at the world of Jaffa Cakes.
Unfortunately that particular subject was a little too narrow for any meaningful discussion over any serious period of time.
Above all that though, the main reason my podcasts seem to always fail is a lack of vocal variety – basically I, and I’m sure anyone brave enough to listen, get bored of my voice all the time.
Which is why I’m launching another podcast, yes ok so it does just feature my voice but will be better produced, shorter and will also feature a range of interviews and music.
The first podcast launched as part of the freedommedia network will be Up Your Ego – Geek – Culture & Lifestyle.
Up Your Ego will be a weekly look at the world of Geek Culture.
This will include everything from gadget reviews and tech talk to the best of the alternative music scene and blogger theory.
Expect interviews with industry experts, bands and people who are into something in the general Geek field.
The Up Your Ego podcast launches on Monday 18 September so subscribe to the RSS feed, sit back and wait for the poddy goodness to start rolling in.

@ekcol – I haven’t but will look into it – are you on the new 4 or 8mb broadband or stil.l on the old system?
@ekcol – just to follow up on this for you – got this from Channel 4:
“This is a known issue and we have not intentionally blocked the Channel Islands. We are working on the issue now and expect the service to become available again in the next 24 hours. Obviously we’re sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.”
Awesome, good sleuthing.

Do even more for Movember! http://bit.ly/4Fh9b1
Very cool! Movember is definitely making progress in Canada also. All the guys at work are cultivating our mo’s as well. I even made this shirt to commemorate the event:

TV content is not broadcast on the internet. The viewer has to actively access it.
Entering a paid for password before being allowed to watch is an excellent idea, which I am sure the BBC would have thought of, before streaming live content from their website unrestricted. Their action is just an attempt to tax all British residents, while the rest of the world can access the same content for free. This is racial discrimination.
Hi Do what a lot of UK Businesses are doing and tune into http://www.rfmradio.co.uk Royalty Free Music Radio, NO PRS or PPL Fees if this is all you listen to.
Its as good as your mainstream radio stations just that we use quality unsigned bands, Profesional Dj hosted shows, News, Weather and entertainment.
O and did I say they were looking for a sponsor, is Kwik fit reading this?
New website – new look – new sounds – NO FEES – No Hassle – Music as it should be
Why not get Gelan & Rebeka Swift to write an England anthem? There Charlton anthem “Endless Journey” is absolutely stunning!
Quite agree, have been saying this over at FG for some time now, along with numerous other people.
I’m sure they haven’t done too much of 15/16 yet, as the TG Live Tour (which I think we all agree is part of the problem) is ongoing. I think they could easily cut back to one season this year, plus, say, a Christmas Special, and that might be enough to right things.
Either way you’re right, the most diehard fans would prefer quality over quantity.
Should we write to Andy wilman, even if he doesn’t read it?
Lots of of bloggers not too pleased with this new iPad.There was just 2 much hoopla over it and alot blogers got turned off.Thing is, I can actually see great deal of the cool potential of the gizmo. Third-party apps for working with tunes, games, newspapers and magazine and books, all kinds of awesome stuff, but they failed to sell it very well (aside from the books). It smells kinda not finished
