top of the hour with gigadial
If you haven’t come across this mightily impressive website/service yet, you’re in for a treat. Word And Mouth says it, so it must be true…
Simply, gigadial creates a ‘station’ of your favourite podcasts.
There are six of the best on the Word And Mouth Gigadial channel:
- Cheap Ass Gamer. Loveable guys from the States eulogising – nay, rhapsodising – about their passion for joystick-trembling fun. With a healthy dollop of asides. Last week it condoms with dinosaurs on the packet. Incredible humour considering the niche could be considered geeksville.
- TWiT (This Week in Tech). Leo Laporte, my favourite and arguably among the wealthiest podcaster on the planet, takes a panel of different and respected folks and talks about the tech news of the week. A long listen at about 100 minutes, this stimulating ‘cast is essential for keeping ahead of the curve on what’s happening on the web and beyond.
- Marketing Over Coffee. John Wall knocks up an incredible array of internet marketing-related stuff on this fabulous ‘cast for those in any way attempting to prize the best from the web.
- Answer Me This! I don’t know what it is that makes me love you so, but AMT! is staggeringly funny and absolutely politically incorrect. Perhaps that’s it. A showcase for Helen and Olly, two of the finest unexpected comics in the UK. Superb!
- Freelance Radio. For the indie contractor or freelancer this is an essential guide to ‘getting it right’. Packed with useful advice and inspiration, and comprising a team of established sole traders keen to spread success widely. From the kids at freelanceswitch.com.
- FrequencyCast. A superb guide to all things TV, gadget and gizmo for a UK crowd. In the running for the European Podcast Awards this year, so definitely worth an ear. Driven by feedback from its listeners – as every podcast should be.
Thanks for the shout out!
Thanks for adding us to your GigaDial playlist Dave, and for the kind words about our show. Stand by for your next tantalising take on technology… Pete @ FrequencyCast
Big fan of MOC my good man, but never quite made it to the M Show. Having been literally consumed by avarice for TWiT.tv and all its hybrid subsidiaries I find myself fighting for time to breathe and perform other mundane tasks. You’re right up there on podium position or thereabouts, though. Keep up the staggeringly high quality output – it’s marketing gold!
Well it’s a mighty promise stating ‘tantalising’ in close approximation to ‘FrequencyCast’ but I’m prepared to let it go on account of the fact it quite possibly is.
I’d like to propose an issue to attack on your next episode: why you can’t have PAYG broadband with a decent bandwidth limit. Say 30Gb a month for £30. I’d pay that. In fact I already pay £30 for 10Gb of MOBILE broadband with o2. Which is shockingly expensive, but I can’t get BT cuz I’m outta here in 3 months and they insist on a 12 month contract. No dice on coming back to the contract, neither: I may be away for some time.
But not in jail.
Hi Dave,
I saw your Twitter “subscribe” to our Grateful Fred Twitter account and thought your bio on Twitter looked very intriuging. Very interesting blog by the way. Sounds like your as geeky as me! As well as the music with Grateful Fred my “real” job is as a web-based travel agent, http://www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk. We get all our business via our website so I’m always “online” and have done/do many of the things you specialise in, blogging, podcasting, video, etc, etc. So it’s nice to find someone else who believes in the “power of the web” (that sounds pretty geeky). Perhaps you can make it to our first Grateful Fred gig. It would be nice to meet you. In the meantime I’m looking forward to exploring your blog as I know I’ll learn something from it.
Kind regards,
Colin
Hey Colin – fantastic to have you here at DT.com!
You and I share more in common than you dare believe. I used to work in
marketing and on magazines for a big travel company called RCI – was there
for nigh on a decade and work with it still. And you’re obviously spot on
with the geeky reference.
I’d love to be at the first gig at the Freshie but suspect I’ll be on
holiday. But I’ll definitely give it my best shot. Looks like a corker.
Stay close and if I can ever be of any help, drop me a line.
Have a great week.
Dave
