Edinburgh Fringe Podcast Press Passes

Last year, to much amusement from the blogosphere, the Edinburgh Fringe Society decided that a podcaster wanting to cover the Edinburgh Fringe wasn’t quite high profile enough to recieve a press pass. And I guess if I had been in their shoes then I might have made the same decision (although I might have Googled [...]

Yep, count the $100 I’m slamming on the table (…well, fire over Paypal when all the dust clears) to Dave Winer (and other’s) efforts to start up a clean podcasting directory.

Could I Be Performing at The Fringe?

So, as well as bringing you the best of The Fringe, I might be stepping out on stage!

Scotland’s longest-running improv comedy show and an Edinburgh institution, the Improverts [...]

Roll Up, Roll Up, The Podcast Network Now Taking Bids for Advertising!

Right then, time to try something a little bit different. Well, I say a little bit different, but this isn’t the first time that a pod(v)cast has put some advertising inventory up on Ebay – in fact it’s not even the first time that TPN has done this sort of thing – G’Day World’s coverage [...]
