Podcast 16A: AQA party (Audio MP3)

Several SMS Text News members were at the AQA ('Any Questions Answered') summer party last Friday. We brought along the camera and produced the podcast and took advantage of the fact there were a lot of normobs ('normal mobile users') in one place. And of course, we didn't let the opportunity pass to grab AQA's Marketing Director, Paul Cockerton. He always has some interesting insights. So much so that we're going to publish an extended version of the interview featured in today's podcast later ...

As ever it's all wrapped up with the regular 'things of the w...

Mr MacLeod is back from his desert island this week and we're back in SMS Text News Towers too - normal service has been resumed.

Podcast 8 (Audio MP3)

This is the 8th installment of the podcast, recorded on Friday 6th June. With a cast of thousands (well 5 at peak) it's another big'un (60mins or there about) and well over 30 additional minutes hit the edit-room floor (metaphorically, I used a laptop) this week. I hope you agree the bits left over are worth it. Dan is more audible this week, although the sound is still 'authentic'.. we discuss Ofcom's proposed 'voluntary code' for mobile broadband providers, Unlimited Drinks (tomorrow!), the Ja...
