Zedcast 035 with your host, Bruce Murray. Today I'm heading up to Halifax Nova Scotia for 3 birthdays, 2 Christmas parties, A Ballet, A Play, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. A driving cast, (apologies for the background noise). Next Zedcast will include a segment called "A Funny Thing Happened One Christmas..." and I'm looking for listeners to record a short funny memory from a Christmas past. There is a short deadline (Dec 19th) so click on the My Chingo button on the side bar or the Odeo link and record a message. You can also call the listener line 1 (206) 495-6565.

I've just replaced the hard drive in my computer for the fourth time in as many weeks. And I've spent much of that time re-installing software and getting back-up files replaced on each drive. But the new drive is permanent and I should have the recording studio back up and running in the next few days.

In the mean time, the interview, with Trucker Tom from poolside at the Marriott on the last night of the Expo is up on his website if you want to have a listen.

New Zedcast very soon, thanks for your patience. Oh and don't forget to vote in the poll (on the left side bar)

Cheers, - Bruce

As I work on editing all of the audio from the Podcast and Portable Media Expo (The Expo). I thought you might like to check out some of the other projects that I have been involved in recently, outside of the Zedcast feed.

I was a guest host on the Podcast Morons show and did a segment on editing:

*Podcast Morons #13 The Power of Zediting

I was a (self appointed) Roving Reporter for the Canadian Podcast Buffet in a two part series interviewing Canadian podcasters at The Expo:

*Special Edition: PPME Canadians #1
*Special Edition: PPME Canadians #2

I was featured on Brian Ibbott's 250th edition of Coverville recorded at The Expo:

* Coverville #250 From The Podcast Expo

And also:

*Quirky Quiz #3 on Quirky Nomads with Sage Tyrtle

I'll also be featured in an interview with Trucker Tom, and I'll post the link when that is up.

OK, happy listening and I'll get back to editing. I'll have a new Zedcast up very soon.


Thanks for listening, - Bruce
