But it does feel like I was told to hide so all I needed to do was close my eyes.

And your whereabouts was a mystery? Didn’t they think of ConradSlater.com? (Its like your the poop version of RealityMan/Epsilon!!!

Is Piano Chan some meme I’ve yet to catch onto?

BUT – when it come to their own awards – The Nerve* awards – well, you won didnt you.

But the reason thats hysterically funny is this:

You thought you were nominated for a NaSTA – and wasnt, and got upset when you found out

You DIDNT think you were Nominated for a Nerve* award – And WON the award and was then VERY pleased and surprised

Wasnt very funny on the night in Coventry, but I do find it quite funny in heinsight now the way you never know if your nominated or not!

The world works in mysterious ways Conrad….

Its a good time to be a “user”, thats all I have to say.

hope it all sorts out soon as its such a nice community your building, its a shame when anything goes wrong!

Perhaps you could email them and ask? Tell them you expect a lot, and can they keep there promise?

Otherwise my only other advice is: NEVER under ANY circumstances use Bigwig.net. Oh god, Iv had nightmares about them.

Honestly, try Freeola – Unlimited Webspace and Hosting, and free transfer of your .com domain over to them

All you pay is a small fee for the ability to upload. And even when you stop paying that – your site stays up FOREVER for free, and you only pay again for another quaters worth of uploads (you just pay every 4 months for upload privlages, so for things like this site, you pay once, put it up, and dont pay again till you need to change it. As its all PHP blog, you can do that without needing upload rights, which they call Freeola Freedom, so this site would be 100% free to nrune eventually)

They have PHP and MySQL if you need it

I cant praise them enough…

Probabbly a good job you dont have a fancy PHP searching script built in yet then if they cant even handle a home page…

Try Freeola.com – they offer unlimited bandwidth, thats who I use, free too if you have a domain allready…and no adverts either… well, free if you have Freeola Broadband like me – if your on a diff broadband, its £15 every 4 months I think

This blog also has some information about hypnosis and hypnotism that I think you will find interesting….

get in touch ‘Conrad’ as a) I need to know if you still want to watch Ressurection of the Daleks and 3) I want to know what by the pink and purple pyjamas of Rassilon Standen was thinking – I still have trouble believing it, tbh…..

Artile by a clever person here – plus clever people adding their comments.

I’ve gotta say I felt a wave of confusion when I clicked on to your blog only to see a parallel version of this blog. The entries were similarly titled too. Pretty funny but still far better than being on one of these Ajax things that never loads right. (Have you seen the state of podcast pickle these days – rofl).

That book looks very good – and something of a Citizen Kane for its author it seems. I shall endeavour to check it out.

Whilst I admit I’m currently very negative about podcasting as an institution I still have a certain belief in it as a medium. It’s just not something that I feel I can master on my own any more. Writing a blog is one thing but the creation of good media has to be team effort.

So I’m just waiting now until a new team begins to form and I set to work making ‘some media’.

But I respect your decision, and think you’ve probably made the right choice: there’s no point putting blinkers on and steamrollering over a precipice just for the sake of creating “product”. I also respect the honesty with which you’re telling us all about this.

Sounds like your creativity is a very personal thing to you, and despite the anguish it might cause you, that’s a very good thing. Caring passionately about your work is a rare trait indeed, but a great trait.

Good luck Conrad. And keep us up-to-date with your progress.

Any chance of purchasing a copy of your show on DVD, I will pay handsomely.

Again, sorry to see the axe, please keep in touch.

Your friend(or fiend)

While the show being cancelled was your own doing, as you admit, it’s still a painful thing and I’m genuinely glad that you’ve come out from the cloud.

11 days is a long time.

I’ve had a couple of comments and messages now from what I would call bona fide podshow bashers (I’m sure that far from being offended by being called that you’d be quite proud). Whilst my post admittedly critical of Podshow I hope that I’ve made it clear that I’ve only got myself to blame for cancelling the show.

That said though – the original post was posted on the 17th of April and I have yet to hear from them. I think eleven days “on hold” is something of a record. lol

I remember feeling very black and depressed during late Dec 2005 because my podcast hadn’t become what I’d hoped it would. And being told by Podshow that my podcast was to now contain promos for podcasts I’d never heard of before, giving other people a level of exposure I’d never received from the company.

But like you, when I emailed them to have my contract terminated I immediately felt much, much better.

Hopefully that white sheet of paper feeling will continue and you’ll be able to enjoy your creativity again.

Anyways I feel very much the same about that show. It is a real pity it went, as, even with its flaws, it was starting to find its feet and become quite entertaining.

The new show – Amplitude – means at least the space will be in use. But with only two presenters now, and a more “magazine” format.

Perhaps we could start our own new show Conrad – the studio is of course, for Nerve*, and Nerve* is ‘Student’ owned. I see no reason why we could not find a new format and crew and get to it. Why should we merely stick to what the majority want? Its Nerve*TV I believe, as in, Television, which suggests multiple shows. Its not just Nerve*Single-Bi-Weekly-Show (as far as I know)

It was great seeing you on saturday and you know it is interesting that even though we have only met face to face twice it is really is like we have been mates for years. It was great jut taking time out and having a chat about things.

I can’t wait for your next audio blog, so pull yoru finger out mate!

P.

I foresee a new wave of corporate podcats that will flood the market and turn a lot of listeners off the entire medium. If a blockbuster video shop opened up with predominantly corporate training videos and other sales and marketing based films then people wold just stop going there – especially if they end up being fooled by misleading marketing. Imagine hiring out a horror film only to find it’s in fact an 90 minute informercial about safety at work!

It was awesome to meet you on Saturday! It was a right laugh and had a great time with you, Twinkle and Tim in the pub. I am going to forward a link of this onto Tim. I am sure he will be very excited by what you have said!

Hopefully it won’t be till the next conference till we all meet again!
