Darkhorse Radio

DarkhorseRadio iPod picDon't panic I'm still here, and I still have things to say - I've been neglecting my blog because I've been putting a lot of time & effort into the Darkhorse Radio Podcast Experiment - I now have a weekly 'podcast' how good is that? Christine (from W. Australia) doesn't care for the music (why not - it's amazingly good?) but she listens because she likes my voice - shall I forgive her or what? I never dreamed that a weekly music show (20 mins) would demand so much of my time! Oh, I had a domestic 'split' to deal with as well, but when I started blogging I decided not to involve my private life so that's as far as I'm going with that!


The podcast message is something that I'm taking into college too - I'm now running 'podcast awareness' sessions for teachers - it's good stuff you know - one of the delegates this week said he wished he had my job - looking at IT developments, playing with the technology and running workshops. Well, it can be fun, but I do an awful lot at home you know - if you come on one of my courses you expect it to be thorough and supported by easy to understand tutorial handouts etc - that doesn't just happen you know. I've appointed myself as the 'podfather' at my college (I don't think I should say which one - but it's Cheshire and it's F.E.) a term which I borrowed from Adam Curry (your homework is to find out who he is) who won't mind I'm sure.

Right - I won't do any more blogging unless you listen to Darkhorse Radio - here's the website
www.DarkhorseRadio.co.uk
you can 'subscribe' (that means get all the shows delivered automatically, you don't pay anything - but send me lots of cash if your conscience is compelling you to do so) in iTunes by clicking Podcast Directory (bottom of iTunes screen) typing Darkhorse Radio as the search item and clicking the Subscribe button against Darkhorse Radio podcast. (Tell your friends to subscribe too - the more who do that , the more I can do with the show. ) The feed address (if you're technical and want to manually subscribe) is http://feeds.feedburner.com/DarkhorseRadio

I've lots to say after my long absence, but that's for next time (watch out Time Warner - I'm going to publish my email exchange which I don't think shows you in the best light).

luv'n'stuff
