casting the net - the day after tomorrow

Catch my daily web review at Liberal Conspiracy.
If you’re waiting for my first foray into Podcasting, well that’s still a work in progress. This week has been chaotic as we have visitors arriving from Estonia tomorrow, so Mrs. tyger has been busy preparing and I’ve been looking after the kids. It’s a piss-week excuse I […]

podcasting

Starting a Podcast.
I have been mulling over the idea of producing a podcast for a while. I’m a huge fan of the format, but I’m also aware of the demands such a project would make - especially if I do it daily/weekly.
I certainly don’t want to do it half-arsed.
I am also unsure as to how […]

Many Questions
Podcast
Guardian Unlimited
It’s a brave decision by Guardian Unlimited to launch a rival to Have I Got News for You, with a news-based comedy ‘quizcast’ (it’s not really a quiz, more a Q&A with comedy, but quizcast sounds brilliant, doesn’t it?), and it’s hard to decide whether or not they have pulled it off?
The […]

Tagged | Obsessions

The Talented Mr. Zhisou has tagged me. Apparently I am to divulge my obsessions, presumably on the point of death. I better get to it then, eh?
I guess I pass through phases of obsessive behaviour. When I was sixteen I could pretty much name every football player in Italy’s Serie A – […]

Know any good podcasts?

I have been listening to Podcasts for a while now. But I’m rather numb by my portfolio of options.
I need something new. Something hot.
I came across the Letter to America show recently, and already it’s one of my favourites. It’s funny, somewhat self-aware, and a very good listen. Based in Belfast, […]

Islamophonic eh?

There is an interesting thread going on over on Guardian Unlimited podcast blog to announce the papers new Islam Podcast (yes, really).
I assume the Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Humanist podcasts are currently in the studio? Oh, they’re not…

The ‘Old Media’ must evolve or die

If we are to believe recent reports, and there is a great deal of anecdotal and statistical evidence to suggest that we should, the British newspaper has caught the American Bug.
Circulations are tumbling, as are advertising revenues. Subsequently journalists are getting the chop left, right and centre. Another raft of […]

Tory TV?

On the 10th October, Britain will see the launch of its first internet based political TV Channel, 18DoughtyStreet Talk TV (see the blog, here). Its founders are looking to create a network 100 citizen journalists (local and global), who, armed with camcorders, will help create the content to be transmitted.
There is some […]

I adored this show. It is very much part of my youth.

Another Podcast

Mark Kermode’s movie reviews, uploaded by the BBC every Friday, are an invaluable guide to the week’s movies. The Chemistry between The Good Doctor Kermode and Simon Mayo creates sparks that cause more than a few giggles.
Kermode’s rambling and emotional style is perfect for film reviews.

Podcasts

Podcasts. Have you been infected yet? I only bought my first iPod back in March, a shiny black 30GB fifth generation model, with video playback, yet I have been listening to Podcasts, via iTunes on my laptop, for much longer.
It all started with the Ricky Gervais podcasts, which of course have gone down in […]

iTunes: shape up, or ship out

I’m getting really annoyed at the speed at which iTunes updates my podcasts in the afternoon. I suppose its all those bloody bothersome yanks, who are awake by then, sucking all the juice from the servers.
Yesterday I gave up and put the radio on, I felt like a caveman.

Heffer gets my goat

I was meaning to take issue with Telegraph commentator Simon Heffer over the weekend, but such was my loaded itinerary, I somewhat neglected this blog.
What irked me Saturday morning was reading the opinionated Heffer, mull over the Tory complicity in the passing of Blair’s flagship education bill last week. There is little […]
