Sidepodcast

It’s that time of the week again, time to strap yourselves in and get ready for another fun filled couple of hours as you watch the Sidepodcast crew murder another podcast. Perhaps it makes the finished article look that much better, or perhaps it just makes us seem that much more useless, but either way it’s great fun.

Today also sees the introduction of yet another podcast in the Sidepodcast stable, as once we have wrapped up F1 Debrief, we’ll be attempting the Sidepodpanel. More information is available here, if you’re curious and want to join in.

What a fabulous race! I was worried that Singapore wouldn’t live up to the hype but it certainly did that. Perhaps not in the way we were expecting, or perhaps it was. Amazing what throwing a couple of safety cars into the mix will do. Not literally throwing them, of course. Anyway, we’re back now to discuss the goings on in Singapore in today’s F1 Debrief.

Join us as we record the show live, and discuss the merits of the new track, and the failings of certain teams, whilst bringing the regular elements in, such as Good Week / Bad Week and your Feedback. We want your calls this week, talking about anything you’ve seen today in the race. We’re ’sidepodcast’ on Skype, or the number is 0121 28 87225.

If you’ve been following the comments on sidepodcast.com this past week, you’ll know that after recording Episode 61, I did an Alonso - and threw my toys out of the podcasting pram, threatening never to speak again unless Microsoft Vista was banished from the room. I stopped short of smashing the door down with a crash helmet, but it almost came to that.

The problem has been brewing for a while, manifesting itself as annoying audio pops and glitches throughout our recordings. Sometimes Christine could clean them up, but often they ruined a decent show. Originally the plan was to wait until Microsoft got its house in order and fixed its cruddy software, but even now, over a year after release, Vista still isn’t fit for purpose and my patience ran out.

Yesterday we purchased Christine a Mac Mini, and within a pretty short amount of time we were happily recording glitch-free audio again. Life is peaceful once more, although I’m still yet to fully convince a certain someone that the Apple way is the right way.

Whilst out and about, we also accidentally bought this:
