A friend just pointed me to this site.
ReelTime Media Ltd ("ReelTime") is rolling out Australia’s first national broadband TV (bTV) service to offer current release movies, TV episodes, favourite library titles, arthouse, foreign film and much more…all within the comfort of your home. Our content will be available for download to your PC in August.
Some experienced Non-Executive Directors on their board, including a former CEO of Channel Ten and a former CEO of VideoEzy. The site says the content will be DRMd but no mention of price or what the playback devices will be. You can sign up to be notified when they launch. I’ll try to get someone from the company on the show.

Join Cameron Reilly, the John Romero of Australian podcasting, and his good buddy Richard Giles, while they get all “blokey” with JOHN THE FRAKKIN MAN ROMERO.
Now, if you’re one of those people who just said “who” then… you must vacate the premises within 7 seconds. Your lease has expired. You are an ex-parrot.
If, on the other hand, you said “holy BFG! John The Frakking Man Romero!!!! The guy who brought the world WOLFENSTEIN 3D, DOOM, QUAKE, DAIKETANA and about 96 other games in the last 30 years! The guy who put the id in ID Software! The first rockstar of gaming! The guy who gave us the BFG!”… then you may stay.
Listen in as we chat about
- what it’s like to be Romero
- what made Doom and Quake so frakkin huge
- what he’s working on now with Slipgate, his new gaming company
- the music of Ronnie James Dio
- how he met his wife online
And much much more!
Keep up to date with John’s activities on his blog. And here’s a link to the Half-Life “portal” video from Valve that John refers to. It is the coolest thing I have seen in ages.
PS I’d like to apologize to everyone (esp Garth Kidd who apparently has some deep-seated issues to deal with) for the slurping noises on the recording. But DAMN that was a good Chuppa-Chup. Yoghurt. Mmmmm.

Janet Parkinson has written an extremely flattering review of G’Day World in the latest edition of the Podcast User Magazine. She also reviews a handful of other Aussie podcasts which I’d never heard of but will be adding to my feeds. Thanks Janet! There’s also a great interview with our very own Ewan Spence about this year’s upcoming Edinburgh Fringe Festival podcast.

Terry Lane (senior Aussie journalist) resigns after writing this article which was full of fraudulent information which he sourced from a fake video by Jesse Macbeth (an interesting side note – the online version of the article on The Age’s website has NO INDICATION yet that the story is full of disinformation… even though Lane has resigned over it and the management of The Age are fully aware of it… even a blogger would have posted an update by now)
