It’s Time For… The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (and Podcast) for 2008

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Ah yes, August is almost here. And that means, for many in the Arts and Festival scene, their thoughts turn to Edinburgh, and the Fringe.
As do my thoughts, because for the fourth year running, I’ll be producing and acting as the main host on The Podcast Network’s Edinburgh Fringe Show. It will also continue [...]

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 [...]

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

It might still be early days (ie about half way through week one), but the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast is the top ranked Edinburgh Fringe Podcast in iTunes.

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 [...]

The Best Edinburgh Fringe Podcast (Says The Times) Is Under Way

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Yes, as well as the first little prologue going up on The Podcast Network’s Edinburgh Fringe Show’s website (and RSS Feed) the buzz is building in other places as well. The Fringe Podcast comes but once a year, but covering an Arts Festival with over 250 venues (maybe the best part of 300 stages), for [...]

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 [...]
