Its Friday, and if you haven't got anything better to do whilst stuck at work then why not try some of the following web sites:-


If you are new to the www.topofthepods.com web site you might be wondering where these links are - click on the 'Display the spoilers' link in the left hand column. We hid them so we don't spoil the surprise of the show.

What keeps you busy at the work on the web? Pop your cool distractions on the comments board for this post and we might even do another show about them. Keep 'em clean, if not email them to topofthepods@gmail.com.

And perhaps a video feed for the non-studio audience?

[sarcasticon needed here]

Nevertheless, a round of applause to the Peterborough Boys Choir: well done!

A spin on great podcast content

This guy must really hate us!

[And for LEM's moment on the now-vacant soapbox...]

Ditto and "hear, hear!"

Yes, the criticism is one person's opinion, but except for what could possibly be construed as a little bit of jingle-machine guilt, TOTP doesn't come close to falling into the "non-great" podcast categorization. The whole show is predicated on a theme, for heaven's sake! [action: arm waving and jumping up and down here]

Before the soapbox collapses, I'd also like to spin an idea about the so-called popularity of the commercially produced shows (or, as Jon would say, the ones that start with all the letters). I think it's an artefact of iTunes opening up the podcast universe to the less than technically adept: People tend to stick with what they recognize, and if their first aggregator was iTunes, then chances are that they are less familiar with other means of finding podcasts, AND if they are familiar with the content of TV and radio networks, of course they will investigate the podcasts produced by those networks. One can only hope that eventually the "alphabet-listeners" will realize that there's a wider world to hear and many more interesting formats to discover.

Thank you.
The soapbox is now free again.

I just read the blog and realised we didn't meet any of the criteria for great content - might do a show tonight in the suggested style I think.

Your content IS great. Most definitely. Because it is innovative, different and entertaining.

By the way according to Radio Clash, you are reviewed in issue 32 of Dazed & Confused magazine. Did you know?

I thought people were free to podcast what they liked...the laws of supply & demand will out. (& you make ME laugh- a LOT!) xx

Speaking of Google. What about googlewhacking? Type a two-word phrase into google and try to come up with only one result.

Oh, and thanks for the Mac advice. I already knew it, but it's nice to be thought of. Most of the world ignores us--just because we have nicer computers.
