I thought I’d just ‘big up’ the audio book Transistor Rodeo that I’ve been listening too. It’s a FREE audiobook by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff - he used to be screen writer or something, he reads the book himself as well as scoring the music. It’s a really good listen, kid safe too! I shan’t ruin the story but if you like robots and action it’s definitely worth checking out.

Driving that little bit further to work these days gives me loads more time to listen to my iPod. I’m an avid listener of Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code (plus he lives just round the corner from me) but I’m also a Chris Moyles (Radio 1 Breakfast DJ listener). There’s been a bit of banter between the two of them on their respective shows, no direct contact - one plays a clip of the other etc etc. But in the most recent Daily Source Code Adam laid a big fat one down for Moyles - come work for us and we’ll double your salary! Googling for Chris Moyles salary puts him on around £635k a year (Holy cow!!!)! In fact if that wasn’t enough Curry turned round and said if that’s not what you’re earning - name it! This certainly could be an interesting arena to watch - as Curry rightly points out, the target age for Radio 1 are tuning out of listening to the wireless and are now all about iPods and mobile phones. Which is a little odd since new figures announced today put Radio 1 listener figures at around 7million.
If you’re a Daily Source Code listener you’ll already know about this but ‘PodSafe for Peace’ is a remarkable achievement - a collaboration of podcasters/pod safe artists from across 8 countries remotely recorded and then mixed into what’s turned out to be quite a nice song with all proceeds going to UNICEF!
