On the Pod with Om Malik

Another great “On the Pod” with a shaker and mover from the US…this time we interview Om Malik who is the Senior Writer with Business 2.0 and author of “Broadbandits: Inside the $750 billion telecom heist“.

Listen as we talk to Om about Arnold Schwarzenegger, cricket, his new book, Broadband, how the generation gap is closing on internet usage, the iPod, VOIP, blogs. content on demand, broadband in Australia and a whole heap of things.

Om is one of those journalists that just “gets it”, so this is another “On the Pod” episode you shouldn’t miss…

PS. We nearly have our bandwidth issues sorted out, so expect the G’day World podcasts to start coming thick and fast pretty soon…next up…Robert Scoble 🙂

On the Pod with Doc Searls

In the words of Wayne and Garth…”we are not worthy”….

WOW…just before the end of 2004 we interviewed Doc Searls…co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto…senior editor of Linux Journal…proprietor of Doc Searls’ IT Garage…and allround omni-present godlike figure… 😉

Listen in as we talk to Doc about “markets as conversations”, linux, RSS and a host of other things…this is one podcast you don’t want to miss…

Thnx for taking the time to talk to us Doc… 🙂

On the Pod with James Boyle

This 34 minute edition of “On the Pod”, and our first show to go live in 2005 (even thogh it was recorded on 22nd December 2004), sees us have a chat with James Boyle, the William Neal Reynolds Professor of Law and Faculty Co-Director of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain at Duke Law School in North Carolina in the USA.

James is not only one of the worlds leading experts on Intellectual Property (IP) Law and the digital commons but he is also one of the founders of the “Creative Commons” movement and one of the main instigators behind the “Science Commons”.

Tune in as he takes us through the impact of IP law on digital content from music through to DNA and the human genome. He even gives us his five year outlook and predications on the future of copyright, users access rights to content and the P2P space.

Note: Over the next week we will be posting up some amazing interviews…so stay tuned and have a great start to 2k5 everybody…may all your wishes and dreams come true…

On the Pod with Mark Jones

Welome to another episode of “On the Pod” in which we talk with Mark Jones, Deputy Managing Director at IDG Communications, which is probably the largest publisher of “IT” magazines in Australia and NZ. Mark also maintains the “filtered” blog where he writes about “technology, media and marketing grit”.

In this episode we talk to Mark about print magazines, email newsletters, the death of the fourth estate and the rise of the new publishing paradigms like RSS, weblogs and podcats.

“Aussie Jingle Bells”
Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot,
Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs,
It’s Summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut !,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Engine’s getting hot; we dodge the kangaroos,
The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.
All the family’s there, sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Aussie way, by the barbecue.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes ’round to go, we take the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through, before the washing up.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute

xmas koala

PS. Oh yeah….spread some xmas cheer our way, and go and vote for us over at Podcast Alley 😉
