Pod Delusion Podcast - Episode 18

This week's Pod Delusion podcast is now out (embedded below). There are some goodies on it this week including a discussion with comedy and skeptic godfather Robin Ince. Also, if you want to hear me attempt to do an impression of John Cleese in a homeopathic medicine version of the classic Python "Dead Parrot Sketch" written by Crispian Jago (who also plays the Michael Palin role) then make sure you listen to the third piece...

Pod Delusion Podcast - Episode 17

This week's Pod Delusion podcast is now out (embedded below) and is up to its usual very high standard. I did the final item on how ITV could improve its future by looking to its past (expanding on one of the themes I wrote about in this post).

Contents:

David Cameron’s Face (0:55) by George Poles
The Big Freeze (4:15) by Martin Robbins
Google Owns Our Souls (9:23) by Liz Lutgendorff
NHS IT Systems (15:16) by Simon Howard
Douglas Adams (20:26) by Misty
Dan Brown and Tony Robinson (23:10) by Billy Abbott
ITV and the Regions (26:42) by Mark Thompson

It's all good stuff but Misty's piece on Douglas Adams in particular is wonderfully warm and yet made me sad as she imagines how good he would have been with things like Twitter and appearing on QI if he had lived. Also, Liz Lutgendorff's voice and style of delivery is always great to listen to whatever she is saying!

Contents:

Drugs and Steroids (14:40) by Owen Duffy

I'm on this week's "Pod Delusion" podcast again

I'm on this week's "Pod Delusion" podcast again which describes itself as being about "interesting things":

From scepticism to lefty liberal things, it's commentary from a secular, rationalist, 'Guardianista', sort of perspective. A bit like From Our Own Correspondent but with more jokes.

This week you can hear me discuss the way the media handle numbers and statistics related to politics and economics.

I'm on this week's "Pod Delusion" podcast

For the last few weeks I have been listening to an excellent podcast called "The Pod Delusion" which describes itself as being about "interesting things":

From scepticism to lefty liberal things, it's commentary from a secular, rationalist, 'Guardianista', sort of perspective. A bit like From Our Own Correspondent but with more jokes.

It's well worth a listen and subscribing to. Not least because if you listen to this week's episode you can hear me ranting about TV companies and their woeful attitude to electronic distribution of their programmes.
