Radio 5
Posted: Monday 28 November, 2005
Following our monumentous move into radio earlier this year (both listeners emailed us to say they enjoyed the programme), last week I got a call from a very nice lady at BBC Radio 5 asking if I'd be willing to record some stuff for a programme about blogging. She caught me on the hop so the answer was 'yes', and as a result I spent my lunchtime today in a very small BBC studio at Stirling University recording some snippets from the TAS diary.
To be honest I felt a bit of a fraud, since I've been terribly negligent of the site lately, and since most of the stuff I read was from the distant past. What I'm hoping is that the pressure of the thought of three or four more visitors in the new year (when the programme is likely to be aired) will give me the boot up the backside I clearly need to get back into the habit of 'writing' (I use the term loosely).
In the meantime we've only just managed to get hold of a tape of the Grassroots programme, so I'm going to have a bash at getting an MP3 of the show on the site, so the reader who didn't hear the show can have the dubious pleasure...

I'm fine with MP3s, what I need to work out is how to get it from audio tape onto my PC. My soundcard has definitely got audio in, what I need to find are the right leads so I can wire a stereo up to it, and some software that will give reasonable results. Once I've got those I'll get it online.

It sounds great. Everything sounds great, that you are going to make it possible for us to enjoy the program and that you are a (big) media star!
And it is good news, too, that you and Rosemary may write more often. It is a treat to read what you have to say.
Best wishes.

Yup - and I'd love to hear the MP3. you should be able to simple upload it to your server and then put a link on your site for downloading. Watch your bandwidth though - if it exceeds your limit you may incur an extra fee.
