Good picks this week - just trying out browser labs now, nice one.

Volume perhaps you already know this, but you should just apply some compression/normalisation to the mp3. There's a good freeware audio editing app called Audacity which can do these things....

... shout if you need any help with it.

re: Video advert in US magazine. I've seen some more details in one of my trade news daily emails.

It's a joint effort between Pepsi and CBS to promote this season's new shows and the fizzy, tooth-rot juice. It will only be sent to subscribers in Los Angeles and New York (not available in your local John Menzies or whatever they have in the U S of A).

Can we have the show notes for Episodes 10 and 11 as .html rather than .doc, I'm having trouble accessing them. p.s. no volume problems here. p.p.s. Shak, how can you critisize Chris for spending £200 on a steering wheel? All I am going to say is mountain bike and centre speaker!!
Ian

Tam - shownotes for Episode 10 and 11 now updated to html as before. Hope you find them more helpful now.
Ian

Hi Tam. I'll try and get show notes addressed this weekend. You also make a great point about bike and speaker. Must remember that when me spending £125 on a game is cast up again ;-)

Apologies about the show notes, we're having a couple of technical difficulties but are working on it.
p.s. we are also aware of varying volume issues which is also being looked at.
p.p.s all I say is 'people in glass houses ...' ;-)

As a dutiful listener I have subscribed to your podcast with iTunes but for some reason I cannot download the latest episode (11).

I can listen to it in iTunes (by streaming it from the Music Store) but not download it. Is there a known issue or is it just my English incompetence?

While I'm at it, one other comment. I have to increase the podcast volume in iTunes by 100% when I've downloaded each episode so that I can listen to it while driving (through Parrot kit). Any chance you could boost the volume a bit for the next episode. (This is in addition to a request for Chris to stop moving away from his mic).

I have learnt to love my mike more! You need to get all close and intimate. Snuggle even. Just don't think about that next time you're listening to the show - it'll put you off your Frosties.

Hi Brian. I'm away from home at the moment so can't test iTunes again. I downloaded the episode on Sunday night - I always check it downloads before I tweet out about a new ep being ready. Hopefully on Thursday I can give it a test when I'm back in Glasgow.

Volume is something I do need to work on and address. We're a good bit quieter than other podcast's so I need to boost the volume without affecting quality. Hopefully the next one will be a bit better. Maybe.

As for Chris, I think he addressed the moving away in Episode 11...but you wouldn't know that, would you.
ShakN

Hmm not sure why you can't download ep.11. Fine on my computer, but I'll ask Chris and Ian to see if they have any issues ...
I have noticed the sound issue and hopefully it will be rectified going forward.
p.s. we will tape the mic to Chris's cheek for the next episode
