Audio Logs in Primary School #edchatie

ONE OF THE MOST CHERISHED behaviours I witness involves the transfer of skills between generations. Sometimes this happens around the kitchen table as we make things.

Experimenting with @TuneIn Embeds

WHILE EXPLORING THE REACH of the past five years of the Youth Media Team, I've started embedding the TuneIn player to see if that improves the reach of the @ymtfm presence.

Questions My Creatives Want to be Asked

I ASKED MY CREATIVE students to cite questions they would like to be asked if they were interviewed on air during a broadcast programme about innovation. Here are some of the questions they proposed.

1. How do you think of new ideas?

2. What part of your work do you enjoy the most?

3. Where do you go to be inspired?

4. How will you know you've made it?

5. How do you recharge?

6. Where do you get inspiration on a daily basis?

7. What themes do you most enjoy bringing into yout work?

8. What audience do you hope to reach with your work?

9. What is the most essential part of your creative process?

10. What is your next big thing?

11. What has been the most-viewed item that you have created?

12. Who inspires you to make and share your creative work?

13. Where do you do your best work?

14. What would you tell your teenage self to avoid?

15. What is the most essential specialist equipment you need to produce your best work?

16. If you could choose one specific person as your mentor who would that be?

17. Briefly describe how you go from a simple brief to a finished product that has commercial value.

Another Pathfinder Flushes FB

LIKE SIX OTHER people I have closely followed for more than a decade, I will also delete Facebook. I suspect the two primary school students in our household will never use it.

Over the New Year's break, I read Mike Cox (in the white shirt) outline why he's leaving. I talked about it on Topgold Audio Clips. Mike explains why he is breaking free.

Audio365

I CAUGHT UP WITH a few voices at the end of 2018 because they dropped into my podcatcher when using old RSS feeds I set up years ago. Some of the familiar voices continuing using the #audio365 hashtag.

I started 2019 with Lychees and a nagging text

MY 2019 started without a hangover because I stayed clear of alcohol during the previous three days. Instead, I was self-medicating against a cold by infusing mass quantities of things like lychees from Martin's Fruit & Veg in Clonmel. The first day of the year also arrived with a nagging text from my broadband provider because I'm 125 euro behind in my monthly payment. I used the money for Christmas presents instead this year.

And now, here are seven other things I did between 0800 and 0900 on Monday the first of January 2019.

Brydge Keyboard works with Note 9

I'M A PASSENGER in a car headed to a Christmas dinner in Ireland and I just discovered I can use my two year old Brydge keyboard with my Samsung Galaxy Note 9. That is  big win for open stadards of Bluetooth connectivity. 

I plan to talk about all the things I've discovered in my gadget box that works with my week-old Note 9 You cannot imagine my joy is seeing how my keyboard skillls translate directly to the Note 9. I will also verify the keystrokes I used to make the Brydge keybooard bind to the Note 9's Bluetooth stack. 

If you are curious about the process, ask your podcatcher for "Topgold's Audio Clips" and listen to my 10 minute episodes.
