I’ll be interested in the feedback from the Outdoors Show Podcasts. I’ve tried to mix it up a bit. For example, there were very few companies actually selling gear but I did get decent interviews with both Paramo and Rab – whether people find these gear features interesting I don’t know!

Do you remember the excitement, back in the good old days before e:mail became a curse, when your PC announced â€œyou have new mail waitingâ€? Well I now get the same feeling when Itunes finds new podcasts â€“ sad but true!

Sounds like the inaugural UK Outdoor Bloggers Convention was a great success. I will have to overcome my lowland lassitude and get to the Outdoor Show next year.

The thing I like most about Blogs is that you get a much deeper insight into the lives and thoughts of Bloggers than you ever can from forums. Bloggers are low maintenance friends â€“ they donâ€™t mind you dropping by in the small hours for a catchup

Thanks Leighton.

At the OS Show I got about 35 minutes with Paddy on his life as a walker – Paddy is so good at talking it could have been twice as long! It’s much better interviewing people face-to-face!

I’m sure said mountaineer will only be too keen to talk to you when he gets around to writing a book. Thanks for the good work you are doing with the Podcasts – I especially enjoyed the two recent interviews with Paddy – Can’t wait for the new one

True John, but I did actually want to buy something! But that’s for a new post.

But at least all that busyness kept the pennies in the wallet. I hope

I’m just working on the editing and have to decide how to put the pieces together. I think I’m going to go for a few short-ish podcasts this time.

Sounds like its going to be great listening Andy. I remember Bob having problems pinning down the same mountaineer. Some people just don’t get the blog/podacast concept. Not sure I do but I enjoy the results (maybe thats it) – Steve
