I’ve re-encoded Podcast #6 to make it slightly leaner and easier on the bandwidth. It’s CFR’s first soundseeing tour, so do take a listen: – as an MP3: simply click to stream in your browser, or right-click and save to download the file to your computer – using our nifty Online Player, which allows you [...]
Happy Easter! And for the Hindus among us, Happy Holi! We’ve become quite the podcasting machine around here–after a period of silence, two podcasts in the space of two days. In this one we return to our regular format of a main course comprising ramblings and musings on life, Aimé Césaire, why learning a foreign [...]
It’s not only a film starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren–it’s also CFR’s first soundseeing tour! A bit of a departure from previous ‘casts, in which I inveigle my pal Nicholas to join me on a Good Friday trip up to Mount St. Benedict for tea, and in the process showcase my ignorance of numerous [...]
And here’s CNN’s take on podcasting, thanks to Michael Geoghegan, host of the outstanding Reel Reviews podcast.
The funniest thing happened last night. Had just finished watching Sometimes In April on HBO, the film on Rwanda by my Haitian director friend Raoul Peck, and decided to put on my favourite bedtime listening, Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code podcast, which appeared later than usual last night. Must have fallen asleep at some point, [...]
And how could I forget. . . to publicly thank Dawn and Drew for mentioning CFR in their March 14th podcast, and also for including us on their list of Favorites.
Thanks to the the Fake Science Lab Report for displaying the new CFR graphic on their Links page (and thanks to CPOP Designs for creating the graphic!). We also now have an audio promo, which you can listen to by clicking here or by using the Online Player (track #7). And do check out the [...]
If you’re a fan of radio serials, or if you’re simply somebody who likes a good story, you absolutely must check out Claybourne (or Clayborne – I’ve seen it spelled both ways). Extremely well produced, with engaging characters and a compelling storyline, Claybourne describes itself as “a sci-fi/supernatural thriller/soap opera radio drama, recorded and broadcast [...]
A medium-sized baby, complete with feeback from the last show and general musings on life, steelband and other other fine things. Oh, and some character named Hamlet tries to stir up some inter-island controversy. You can listen to it in any of the following ways: – as an MP3: simply click to stream in your [...]
Thank you, thank you, people, for all the nice comments and e-mails about Podcast #4–I had fun doing it too. We were also mentioned yesterday on the Fake Science Lab Report’s first podcast and I’m in the process of downloading the latest ‘cast from the Evil Genius, who’s apparently talking about us again. Thanks to [...]
A longer one than usual (one of these days I’ll settle on standard length–or maybe I won’t) in which I run a clip from the Evil Genius Chronicles, explain the meaning of “podsafe”, get a bit literary, and justify the high proportion of Haitian music on the podcast, among other things. You can listen to [...]
Been trying to do a podcast for the past couple of days but all sorts of things getting in the way. But woke up this morning to more good news–the Evil Genius is a fan! Who’s the Evil Genius? That would be Dave Slusher, one of the stars of the podcasting world. He left a [...]
Sorry, sorry. Thought I would get around to doing a Tuesday podcast as promised, but a couple of clients threw some unexpected work at me yesterday, then last night the late hours I’ve been keeping recently caught up with me big-time. Would have done it this morning, but have to finish that paying work, plus [...]
Returned home this evening to find an e-mail from The Podcast Bunker, awarding CFR a Podcast Bunker Audio Quality Award, complete with five stars! The Podcast Bunker describes its selection process as follows: “Before we add a podcast to our list, we first listen to the podcast for audio quality and content. We only list [...]
