The Edinburgh Fringe Podcast Crashes Into the iTunes Top Ten

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I’m pretty pleased about this - after sitting at #11 and #12 for most of last week, the podcast broke into the Top Ten podcasts in the iTunes Arts section this morning. Given that last year’s peak was #11 part of me can let out a sigh of relief that this year has kept enough […]

Why You Can Never Really Plan at the Fringe

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

And just like that, your Fringe experience can change. The plan for tonight had been to do some website tweaks, edit the vox-pop interviews from The Royal Mile, and maybe watch the Sky Plus episode of Heroes (…keep up). But then Brian Luff from Comedy 365 - one of this years Edinburgh Fringe Show partners […]

Cunning Theatre Layout at St George’s West

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

I have to hand it to the team at St George’s West; one of the Assembly Rooms venues for this year. The theatre space in the converted church has only one main door into the auditorium. And the great thing about it is that it opens up on the stage.
Atually, after thinking about this, I’m […]

Edinburgh Fringe 2007: Planning Begins in Earnest

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Well, now that I’m (almsot) recovered from the SXSW / ETech podcasting trip in March, the next biggie on the horizon needs addressing, that of the BAFTA nominated Edinburgh Festival Fringe Podcast. Last year’s Fringe saw Edinburgh host to on the order of 1800 different shows, and close to 16,000 performers - plus everyone who […]

A big mention if you’re one of those people who’ve found us via our featuringon the front page of Apple’s iTunes Music Store podcast section, or one of the listeners from BBC Radio 5Live […]

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

It’s basically going crazy here. Was in the studio today and managed three interviews and two ‘accoustic’ recordings, and then broke to go to three press launches - where the venus show you 5-10 minutes of their best shows. So it’s almost like a greatest hits package. Definitly a few shows I must see now […]

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 […]

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 […]
