• Two new podcast and links:
  
  
  • Tee Morris' "The survival guide to writing fantasy"

Nearly a year of podcasting - and 40 podcasts. :)

Shownotes:

• How should a podcast start off?


• The skipped recordings


• Stranded in Stansted


• Friday Fun: Sightseeing in London


• My report at Corante about the conference and a bit more informal one at the britcaster board


• Drunken copyfighter brunch, first time at speaker's corner


• Me is going to Lesblogs and am doing (surprise, surprise) a pre conference podcast. :)


• Podcasting are more compelling than blogs - I am curious how blogland will 'understand' podcastland


• Questions not answered - but instead more questions.


• So many possibilities from good stuff - deciding is so complicated and paralysing.


• dotcom was technical, but this now is impacting on the social level.
