Calacanis In Quite Good Interview

Via the New York magazine, talks about the move up from WLI/AOL to Netscape/AOL. Definitly one to have a browse through over a nice hot cup of tea.

Guy Kewney in ‘Shoot The Parents’ MySense

Parents wouldn’t send 14 year olds to the pub, why send them to MySpace? Guy Kewney (the real one this time) talks sense when no-one is listening… Note to self, keep the PC in the living room.

The Ten Commandments [of Sir Lew Grade]

I am loving this article from the Off The Telly website, that details some fictional [?] rules that ATV media mogul Lew Grade lived by
Here’s a snippet from Wikipedia that sums him up nicely:
Lew Grade is best known by viewing audiences as the man responsible for a number of cult British TV series through his […]

Fingers Crossed for the New Accomodation

Well luckily that didn’t take long. Popped out today to put the deposit down on a new place just roudn the corner from the current house. Moving in date is the end of July, so I should be moved and back on broadband before the might of the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast is upon me.
If only […]

Have Joined Upcoming.org

Following Nicole’s lead of making sure Upcoming.org is up to speed on Tech Events in Europe, I’ve joined up (you can find me on the site here). No idea why I haven’t joined previously because I’m sure I’ve browsed it previously. In any case, I’ve joined the events I have planned, adding in a few […]

TPN Rock #60 “Best Of” Show Available

Lease is Up on Current Hosue

Aw nuts. We’re not getting the lease renewed on the house in Leith. Anyone know of a good rent in Edinburgh (preferrably in the Leith area) with three bedrooms, starting August or September time?
And yes, those of you who know history will realise I had to move during the Edinburgh Festival in 2005 as well […]

TPN Rock and The New Wave of Heavy Metal

While the other music shows come under my wing (mwuh-ha-hah!), and the Edinburgh Fringe starting to gather momentum all on it’s own (four confirmed interviews, twelve more awaiting date confirmation, sub-licencing deals and other audio commissions coming through, and all that in the first 24 hours), it’s important to not forget about the foundations. Which […]

Taking over The Podcast Network Music Shows

To quote he who is far away but is [nominally] in charge…
[I’m announcing] Ewan Spence as TPN’s first “channel manager”. Obviously as TPN continues to grow, there is going to be a need for me to delegate some of my daily responsibilities to others in the team. One concept we’ve been thinking about for some […]

Here Comes The Edinburgh Fringe Podcast for 2006

Since the start of April, I’ve been getting emails asking the same thing - “are you doing your podcast from The Edinburgh Fringe this year?” Well, after a little bit of consideration, and given the upswell of support from the unknown (to me) listeners who have taken the time to email me, and that the […]
