plasticbag : I talked on Radio 4 a while back about corporate blogging and the audio of it is up on igadgetlife.com - It's a decent piece that I in most part agree with. I'm a little disappointed (as ever I suppose) by the need to package up complex issues in a couple of minutes. My position is ... simplified ... let's say.

Rod Begbie : BBC Radio 4 - Comedy - 28 Acts In 28 Minutes - Fast-paced stand-up and sketches from BBC Radio 4. The great thing about this format is if you don't like an act, that's fine -- there'll be another one along in a minute. #

plasticbag : After Our Time also has a wiki for more rigorous collaborative annotation of "In Our Time" - I haven't had much of a chance to interrogate this yet, but conceptually at least it's a lovely idea. I do rather wish the BBC had done it (or something like it) though. Ah well.

plasticbag : Fifty transcripts of "In Our Time" episodes from the last few years... - Some good ones in there. Perhaps not for idle reading unless you're interested in the subjects, but still. Desperately interesting to annotate and fact-check them ,TheyWorkForYou style...

plasticbag : Fascinating interview with John Humphrys on the threats to the Today programme and radio's suitability to new media - Deeply interesting to me and I couldn't agree more with much of it, not that my voice counts for much. He's not resistant to the future, he's arguing for something counter-intuitive but clearly true.

philgyford : BBC - Radio 4 - Today Programme - Interview with Stephen Pound MP (Real Audio .ram file) - I woke up this morning to hear an MP talking frankly about almost changing his mind over the smoking ban. Glorious, because he sounds like a human being. If only the cabinet sounded like this. (skip forward to 3:15)

plasticbag : Jon Snow to host New Year's Eve "Man only" version of Women's Hour - "Snow, who confesses to being hopeless in the kitchen, will also learn how to cook roast partridge under the tutelage of chef Tom Norrington-Davies, and will ask why women spend so long in the bathroom and run up such large phone bills."

plasticbag : Mr Webb talks about podcasting 'In Our Time' - I meant to post this ages ago. Who knows - maybe I did post it ages ago. Anyway, you can get - for a limited time - MP3s of In Our Time delivered to your computer and from there - your iPod...

plasticbag : John Peel tribute on Radio 4's Front Row - A particularly interesting tribute to John Peel including Andy Kershaw's comments that just three weeks ago John Peel had said that he felt marginalised by Radio 1 and that the late nights were killing him...
