Stretched out to 20 minutes this morning praise for Gastrocast #7, encouragement for the Fernwood Five podcast and more on Public Service Conversations.
Today’s picture reminds us who owns Oxford Street. Don’t you go whistling “This Land is Your Land” around here, boy!

I get way too philosophical for my own good. This morning’s big ideas are that Adam Curry and Dave Winer are the yin and yang of podcasting and that Life is a Recursive Function. Picture by neilio

If it’s Tuesday, that must be a wheelie bin This morning I unload my thoughts on you about my experience of accounting in a one-man corporation and start building excitement about the second “cool friends” podcast to be recorded this afternoon.

Ahhh Monday Monday Now that I’m a bit further into the day I’ve had to spend more time on accounts and less on salezzzzzzzzzzz.
On the way back to the office after lunch I saw these people quietly protesting against the fur trade right in front of the Selfridges front door.
Yesterday morning. In which you get to hear me shuffle along at a faster pace than usual even though it’s 05:50, more on the podshow thingy and ending with an exciting, will he, won’t he (catch the train) You’ll just have to listen to find out.
This is getting to be a habit. Today’s audioblog features the development of some thoughts about the power dynamic in podcasting and the possible effect of podshow on that dynamic. My thinking is all shot to pieces however when my dirty old man tendencies kick in.

Another morning walk audioblog which starts with a domestic chore and ends up positing a hypothesis on the influence of Podshow on creativity in podcasting.

Here’s a podcast of some conversations (roughly 13MB, 28min) I had over lunch with people at LesBlogs in Paris yesterday (oops, Monday).
There are segments here with Lee Bryant and Liam Morrison, joined by Anu Gupta, then Loic LeMeur, Euan Semple (& Martin Dugage) finishing off with Doc Searls.
Do let me know what you think of this format as well as the content – just don’t tell me I laugh at my own jokes too much, I picked that up all by myself…

More of a Soundscape than a soundseeing tour – very little commentary just a quick (19 mins) walk through the park while a bunch of very brave people came to the end of their 26-mile Sunday jog.

Ok, so I didn’t think this one through entirely.
1. You are not allowed to take photographs in the galleries of Tate Modern.
2. It’s generally so quiet and people are walking around looking for interesting things that I felt even more self-conscious about talking.
So 3. There are many more edits than usual but fewer photographs and not much of *my* voice at all. It’s mostly those exhibits that make a sound and the sounds of people taking tours and talking to each other.
The Tate Modern site has more on the Bruce Nauman sound installation including an interactive version that doesn’t quite match the reality because the only sounds that overlap are adjacent ones – as you can hear from the recording, you can actually hear everything reverberating around the huge space of the Turbine Hall.
