Broadcast News

You've probably been thinking (hoping, more likely), that I'd given up on The Sleazecast.  Whilst disappointed by the reception (or lack of reception - nobody listened to it) met by the last Sleazecast, you can rest assured, I haven't given up on internet broadcasting yet.  Indeed, I've finally finished editing the bits which aren't me talking for the next edition of the web's least listened to podcast.  Actually, I think we should drop the term 'podcast' - it links the whole enterprise to a specific Apple product and implies that it should only be listened to on an iPod.  Perhaps I should follow the BBC's lead and refer to The Sleazecast as a 'free download' instead.  Or maybe a 'webcast'.  Clearly something I'll have to ponder over.  Anyway, getting back to the point, as I've mentioned before, it's the editing of the non-speaking bits which takes the time with these broadcasts.  I'm hoping to record the bits with me talking next week and get the whole thing edited together and posted here before the end of the month.

Whilst I'm also already planning the next Sleazecast but one (number ten), I'm also currently considering putting together another, completely different, podcast/webcast/free download (delete as applicable).  Indeed, as it would be so different from The Sleazecast, I'm even considering spinning it off onto its own blog.  Basically, I'd like to take full advantage of all the vintage creative commons stuff over at archive.org to fully indulge my love of the popular culture of yestertear, to create a podcast that basically repackage some of the shows there into a sort of late-night radio type programme, linked by me musing on pop culture.  Whether anyone would listen to it is another question.  Obviously, each broadcast would be considerably longer than the current Sleazecasts, but there are plenty of much longer podcasts out there, and it wouldn't just be me droning on - most of the content would be professionally produced.  We'll see.
