Things I Learned at the Portable Media Expo

I now know one other person in the world who uses a Sony Minidisc to record their podcast. Ron Moore and his Battlestar Galactica podcasts…
…told you I was right.

PME ‘Spoiler’ Headline Grabber

Flight Resource Management

Firstly, a little story about [...]

Tax Break For Listening To Demo Tracks

The Hearts of Every Female in the UK Break…

…Richard Hammond has left Brainiac. And Vic Reeves is replacing him.

Slowly, Slowly, Catch the Monkey

A little heads up on some TPN news: A big welcome to Scott and Carmen, the lovable team behind the Machelp from Maui podcast. They’re now, finally, part of The Podcast Network and producing our Mac Podcast. We’re in the process of moving them over to TPN right now.
It’s also great to have two of [...]
