Checklist for August: Press Accreditation

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Last year, to much amusement from the blogosphere, the Edinburgh Fringe Society decided that a podcaster wanting to cover the Edinburgh Fringe wasn’t quite high profile enough to recieve a press pass. And I guess if I had been in their shoes then I might have made the same decision (although I might have googled […]

Ripping Up The Studio…

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

…and putting it back together again! That was today’s goal. While I still have my portable recording setup to conduct interviews in situ, this year the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast will be recording at the studios of Leith FM. Which is a bit of a step up from using the little Behringer I normally have for […]

The Edinburgh Fringe 2006 Podcast - Warming Up The Feed
LISTEN HERE (MP3 1.4 mb 1 minute 32 seconds)
Many moons ago, radio transmitters had to be turned on to let the valves warm up, to get the magnets lined up correctly, and to make sure everything was ready for important podcasts. In a sense, podcasts […]

Could I Be Performing at The Fringe?

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

So, as well as bringing you the best of The Fringe, I might be stepping out on stage!
One of the most popular shows at the Bedlam Theatre (venue 49) is the almost always sold out “Improverts” improvised comedy troupe. This is how they describe themselves…

Scotland’s longest-running improv comedy show and an Edinburgh institution, the Improverts […]

Those of you insomniacs in the UK up late this Saturday night, or if you’re just bored at your computer somewhere else in the world might consider tuning into Edinburgh’s Talk Radio Station (Talk107) on 107FM in Edinburgh and the surrounding area (or stream it live here).
I’ll be the guest on the late night show […]

Introducing "The Sunday Funky Supplement."

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

One of the things I’m glad to announce about this years Fringe Show is that once the Fringe starts, you’ll be able to get a new show every day. Last year, I took Sundays off (to catch up on little things like sleep, moving house, and to get away from the editing suite for a […]

Political Correctness Gone Mad

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

Thanks to Scotlan’s ban on smoking indoors in a public place, a number of Fringe shows and performers are being “reminded” by Edinburgh City Council that they’ll have to not smoke on stage, even if artistically it’s pretty key to the performance.
Which means one of my favourite shows last year “Bill Hicks: Slight Return” (and […]

Planning A Bit of Bedlam

Monday, July 10th, 2006

One of the thngs that I’m doing during the lead up to the Fringe Podcast starting in August is checking out some of the venues, talking to the staff, and starting to discover some fo the stories that could come out at the Fringe.
So I visited Bedlam today, which is the theatre run by the […]

Trading, Organising, and Funding

Friday, July 7th, 2006

If the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast was a movie, then I’d not onlybe deep in pre-production just now, but right in the middle of negotiating with the Hollywood Agents to try and convince Dan Ackroyd to play opposite Brian Blessed (now there’s a Fringe Show I’d love to see).
Yes I’m talking about all the horse trading […]
