podcast post number two

Having gone on about podcasting a bit already today, I'll reveal my ulterior motive; I'm just setting the scene for this, the unveiling of the Assistant Blog Radio Podcast, my own attempt at creating audio content to complement the rest of Assistant Blog. So far I've put together one programme which lasts around 40 minutes and is available to download now, thanks to the assistance of the phenonomally helpful Pete Ashton, who has agreed to host the file for me and provide a web page and RSS feed for the shows, as part of his drive to create a small community, or station, of audio-bloggers and podcasters. For my part, my first show is 95% music, although I like to think that I might be able to offer a little speech content a little further down the line.

And right click and save here to download the show as a single, 23mb MP3 file.

If you want to keep up with both my own shows and Pete's (he's currently on Podcast number 9, and plays some great stuff), our combined feed is here. There are countless shows out there equally worthy of your time, but you'll have to look for them yourself - I'm not doing everything!

Here's the tracklisting for the first show:

1. The Fall - Theme from Sparta FC 2
2. Ghostface - My Guitar
3. New Order - Waiting for the Siren's Call
4. Assistant - What It Means
5. AFX - Where's your Girlfriend?
6. Section 25 - Looking From a Hilltop
7. New Fast Automatic Daffodils - Fishes Eyes
8. The Wedding Present - I'm from Further North Than You
9. Pavement - Fight This Generation

Please let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy it. I'll do another show sometime soon...
