Gday World – The Blogtalk Downunder Sessions #1

Between the 19th and 21st of May 2005, i was lucky enough to be invited as a guest to attend the Blogtalk Downunder conference being held in Sydney, Australia.

Blogtalk Downunder was the first blogging conference to be held in Australia and had some interesting speakers…including….one of the few (if not only) Australian politician’s to write and maintain his own blog, Senator Andrew Bartlett. You might Remember Senator Bartlett as Cameron interviewed him for a G’day World show a few weeks ago.

Well, i didn’t interview the Senator, but i did record his presentation at the conference. The recording quality is average as it was recorded staright onto an iPod with an iTalk, that was sitting on the lecturn directly in front of him. I have one more show where i recorded small 5 minute interviews with a few people that i will be putting up later this week as well.

Enjoy 🙂

    Another show without Mick! For no other reason than he’s been spending a lot of time travelling and offline lately.

    This show is with Ajax Garcia, frontman for LA hard rock outfit “The Napoleon Blown Aparts“. I bought a compilation album of their songs from Magnatune a couple of months ago and it’s getting a lot of rotation on my iPod playlist.

    Ajax Garcia

    Not only a great rocker, Ajax is also a very talented inker and has his own business “BigKidzToy” where he sells very kewl “poster kits”. Listen in as we talk about what happened to cock rock, whether or not it’s coming back, the opportunities for indy bands to find an audience using the web, and MORE!

    On The Pod with Senator Andrew Bartlett

    On May 11th I had the opportunity to interview Senator Andrew Bartlett, Deputy Leader of the Australian Democrats, about the Federal Budget. My goal with this show wasn’t to provide cutting edge political commentary – because I can’t. That’s wayyy out of my league (and I’m sure you’d all agree).

    The idea with this chat was to get one of Australia’s most experienced political leaders (Senator Bartlett was the leader of the Democrats for several years and has been a Senator since 1997) to help me get my head around whether or not this budget was good, bad or ugly and why. Is Treasurer Peter Costello really the Aussie equivalent of Senator Palpatine? Or is he Yoda? Is he doing a good job or is he screwing up our fine country? And why the hell do they have to carry on with all that schtick in Parliament?

    Find out in this casual chat with a polly.
