Thanks to my co-host Drue who provided the venue and assisted me greatly with Skype and the audio. Thanks also to Leigh the Voice Over Guy for his assistance and support with the audio. If you would like me to interview you, please contact me. I am particularly interested in talking to other podcasters but I will not restrict myself to podcaster interviews only. If you have been a listener to Erk Pod for a while, you will know that we can talk about anything!

Erk Pod 70 - The New Years Eve Eve Eve edition of Erk Pod - Erk Gets McSad

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 03:07:00 +1000

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 70, the final episode of Erk Pod for 2007. HAPPY NEW YEAR! In this episode: * Erk & Drue talk about their Xmas and also their plans for New Year's Eve. * 24 Hour Podcast: segments are being uploaded to http://www.24hrpodcast.com. 16 segments have been uploaded so far. My segment is very close to being uploaded. Erk has started to listen to CherieCast http://www.cheriecast.com which is very inspirational. * Erk Pod Mini - Erk Pod Mini is a podcast challenge that I have started where I will do a 5 minute podcast every day of 2008. I called it "Erk Pod Mini: 365 days of Erk" then Drue says that 2008 is a leap year and has 366 days! Can Erk restrict himself to 5 minutes? More details at http://www.erkpod.com.au * Blubrry - Erk Pod is now a member of the Blubrry network where podcasters and podcast listeners can get together. This was inspired by the 24 Hr Podcast & Geek News Central. http://www.blubrry.com * Erk to the Diary Room - ETTDR is your one source for Big Brother news and commentary by Erk & Drue. http://www.erktothediaryroom.com * "Whispers At the Edge" http://whispers.libsyn.com and "The Survival Guide To Writing Fantasy" http://www.teemorris.com/blog podcast crossover. Hosts Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine did a cross over where Tee presented an episode of Pip's podcast and vice versa. So you could hear an American presenting a New Zealand podcast and vice versa. It was interesting to get a different point of view but remain true to the format of the podcast. Maybe Tee & Pip will get together in an episode together in 2008! * Thanks to my mate Richard Jefferies of the "Wasting Time" podcast http://web.mac.com/rgsproductions2005 for telling me what his Xmas weather was and for giving some nice feedback on Drue's co-hosting role. Cheers, mate. * We have solved the mic issues that we had with Squeak's audio in Erk Pod 66. * Erk gets caught up in a credit card scam and has a McSad experience with McDonalds & Monster Trucks. Drue explains the process of going through an internal de-tox program.

Erk Pod 69 - Special Magical Number Xmas Eve Eve Eve Solo Episode

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 02:50:00 +1000

Welcome to episode 69 of Erk Pod which is a special episode because 69 is my favourite number. Erk is flying solo in this episode and notices the difference about having no Drue opposite him. In this episode: * Introduction to new listeners - welcome. * Thanks to Leigh for the voice over work! Cheers mate! I can't wait to record an episode with you! * Wrap up of the 24 hour podcast with Todd Cochrane. It was a great experience. The podcast episodes should be available soon for the complete 24 hours (24 X 1 hour episodes) at http://www.24hrpodcast.com * Dress restrictions at hotels (or at least the hotel I went to last night after being on the 24 Hour Podcast) even apply to Santa hats, apparently! * More talk about westies and Australian slang and regional language. Thanks again to Broady for his theory and thanks to Timbo for pointing out an excellent site which I have described as an Australian version of http://www.urbandictionary.com which is an ABC site in conjunction with the Macquaire Dictionary. It could also be described as another version of Wikipedia. The site is http://www.abc.net.au/wordmap and you can search for words and discover where these words are used. Erk will definately have to share this information with Drue! * The NSW Roads & Traffic Authority has released new figures announcing objects that people hit and when is the worst time for accidents on Sydney's roads. NOTE - Erk Pod 67 will be my portion of the 24 Hour Podcast and has not been edited or uploaded yet. Erk Pod 68 is the first 2008 edition of the Big Brother podcast "Erk to the Diary Room" at http://www.erktothediaryroom.com and will not feature on the Erk Pod feed. Have a good Xmas, everyone!

There will also be a BB 08 update episode on the Erk to the Diary Room feed shortly with this information and a lot more to bring you up to speed. NOTE - I know that Squeak's audio wasn't too good.

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 41. I have just purchased some new gear to produce Erk Pod and this episode is a combination of new and old bumpers, intros etc. It will also be a good introduction to Erk Pod if you are a new listener. Regular Erk Pod segments and formats returns in Erk Pod episode 42 which is coming soon.
