I’m excited today to launch the latest podcast to join the TPN family:
I had Katherine Cunningham as a guest on G’Day World back in Oct 2007 and afterwards offered her her own show on TPN. It’s taken a while (all my fault!) to get it up and running but I’m very excited about it.
Katherine sez:
The idea behind, or perhaps between, this show is to open up a conversation, a deep, juicy wet conversation about women, about men, about power, about sex, about passion.
Check out the first show or subscribe to the RSS feed or add it to iTunes.

Once again this year, for the 4th year in a row, my old mate Ewan Spence is podcasting daily from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for TPN, talking to comedians, musicians, the audience, event managers, and anyone else who isn’t frightened off by Ewan’s pet crow, Crow. Don’t miss it – these shows are always terrific!

One of the wonderful people I met while in Ajaccio was Allon Klebanoff, an Israeli historian who is the closest thing to a “Renaissance Man” that I’ve ever met. Allon gave a terrific presentation on naval art during Napoleonic times at the Congress and, over much alcohol and good food during five days, we discussed religion, politics, art, wine, women… and music, which is the subject of today’s show.
I asked Allon what he’d like to talk about on his first appearance on G’Day World, what his number #1 passion is, and he said “Buck”. I first thought that he was a fan of 70’s Sci Fi, but I soon learned that “Buckkkh” is how one is supposed to pronounce “Bach”. In this very long episode (90 minutes) you will hear Allon talk about Bach’s life and career as well as get treated to a number of musical pieces by Bach (as prescribed by Allon) including (in order of appearance):
Suite No. 2 in B Minor, BWV 1067: VII. Badinerie – Trevor Pinnock
Suite No. 3 in D, BWV 1068: II. Air РMusica Antiqua K̦ln
Italian Concerto in F, BWV 971: III. Presto – Trevor Pinnock
Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F, BWV 1047: I. – Trevor Pinnock
Saint John Passion, BWV 245 (Excerpts): Herr, Unser Herrscher
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565: I. Toccata – Helmut Walcha
Toccata, Adagio & Fugue in C Major, BWV 564: II. Adagio – Marie-Claire Alain
The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080: Contrapunctus 1 РMusica Antiqua K̦ln
The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080: Contrapunctus 2 РMusica Antiqua K̦ln
Now I warn you – Allon is a funny guy. He doesn’t listen to rock, rap or jazz. He is VERY particular about the things that he is passionate about. And he’s a walking encyclopedia. I’m not sure I managed to get him to answer my main question “Why is Bach important?”, though I did ask him several times. Or maybe I just don’t understand. Anyway… strap yourself in and get ready to BACH.

TPN’s Stan Relihan (The Connections Show) was interviewed by IT Wire recently about his thoughts on the future of podcasting.
According to Relihan, putting the iPhone in the hands of senior executives will be an explosive mixture that has never happened before and will take the adoption of podcasting to a new level.
“Now that the iPhone has been launched globally with multiple carriers, it’s going to get major penetration. What that does is that there are many managing directors and senior executives in organisations that would probably never have an iPod but would get an iPhone for all its other functions, which automatically puts an iPod in their pockets,” says Relihan.

Steve Sammartino is not only the founder of Rentoid.com (see G’Day World #306), he’s also one of the smartest money managers that I’ve ever met.
By age 33, Steve had built up a big enough share portfolio to be able to quit his corporate marketing job and live completely on the dividends. That was two years ago. Today, he tells me how he did it – and how you can do it to. Steve’s system is foolproof and doesn’t require you to know anything about shares or companies or the market. He calls it a “set and forget” system. I call it “The Sammartino Method” and I think we should all listen to this show over and over again. Then we should play it to our kids. Steve’s system is so simple and basic that everyone can do it. As he says in the show “All it takes is discipline.”
If you aren’t financially independent (and I’m not), then you can’t ever really be in control of your lifestyle. Steve will never have to work another day in his life if he doesn’t want to. Imagine the choices you would have in your life if you were in that situation in ten years.
The two books that Steve recommends you read are:
