As some of you may have noticed, and as I mentioned on the show today, we had some slight “issues” with the TPN servers in the last 24 hours, mostly because this post I did last night got hit by DIGG. We got slammed. I did the same traffic to G’Day World in one 24 hour period that I normally get in a month. And we aren’t currently geared up for that kind of attention. So congrats to Dave Gray for creating a real story! If you guys aren’t already listening to Dave’s GlobalGeek podcast, you should be.
I believe this is called ‘The Digg Effect”.

A loooooong show today, almost 90 minutes, with three guest co-hosts, a clip from another TPN show, a music clip from PUBLIC ENEMY… it’s our first YEAR THREE show and so I indulged. Mea Culpa.
My guest co-hosts today include:
Shane Williamson (who didn’t started late and didn’t stay long because his Optus Cable sucks ass)
Dave Gray from TPN’s GlobalGeek podcast who crashed our servers last night
and Scott Sherman from TPN’s #1 podcast “The Digital Photography Show“
topics:
hoboradio #23: living in a bubble
Why Marijuana Is Illegal
Getting DUGG
Political survival and plausible deniability are now the paramount objectives of public administration.
An 11-year-old in Hillsborough County, Fla., who has lost his hair during chemotherapy treatments for Leukemia is selling advertising space on his head to raise money for the Bone Marrow Registry, according to Local 6 News. (LINK)
If you want to be part of a future episode of G’Day World, you can find the schedule on our Google Calendar.
Of course you can also send me a voicemail HERE and we’ll play it and make fun of you for being too lame to actually come on the show.
Featured track is NEW MUSIC by the one and only PUBLIC ENEMY
from “Rebirth Of A Nation”
by Public Enemy Featuring Paris
Guerrilla Funk Recordings

Remember in October when Dave Gray, one of the hosts of TPN’s GlobalGeek podcast, sent a letter to Apple with a cheque for $1 for using the term “podcast”? I thought he was just kidding around but apparently he did actually send the letter and the cheque – to Steve Jobs. Seriously.
Well… yesterday he got a reply.

Okay so I know we all know by now that Apple weren’t going to go after genuine podcasters (at least that’s their story THIS week). But it’s still good to have it in writing. Good on ya Dave!
DIGG This.

Well it’s Year Three of the G’Day World podcast and as always I’m going to frak around with the format.
As you may already know, G’Day World invented Skypecasting. We were the very first people EVER to record a Skype call as a podcast. Don’t believe me? It’s in Wikipedia so it must be true (and no, I didn’t put it up there).
And now I think I’m ready to invent something else.
I had the insane idea today that I could create a Google Calendar specifically for the show and open it wide up so ANYONE can see when I plan to record a new episode. Then, if Google Calendar works the way I think it does, any of you should be able to add the G’Day World schedule to your Google Account and then, if you want to come on the show LIVE, all you need to do is jump into the entry for the day in question, add your Skype ID and the topic you’d like to discuss, and I’ll hook you into the show! Am I craaaaazy or what? Then we’ll be one-step closer to LIVE RADIO and that’s gotta scare the pants off ’em. Even more.
Hopefully, if this whacko scheme is going to work at all, you will be able to use the below code to add the G’Day World calendar to your Google Account. Give it a go and tell me what happens.
UPDATE: okay well I already discovered that you can’t edit the details or add yourselves like I imagined. Anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish what I’m trying to do using Google Calendar?

Here I was thinking we did the first show on November 29, 2004 and I just realized it was November 26!!! So I missed it. Happy 2nd Birthday to Australian podcasting! In celebration, I’ve thrown the very first show into the feed so you can all re-listen to it! For some of you it might be the first time!
Thanks to everyone who has supported and listened to the show over the last couple of years. It’s certainly changed my life and it’s opened up all sorts of new experiences and relationships for me. Hard to believe this has been TWO YEARS OF MY LIFE. Jesus. You don’t get that for trucking kickbacks to corrupt regimes.
WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF AUSSIE PODCASTING!
