Old Cables Offer Useful Extensions

I HAVE SEVERAL BOXES of cables and connectors stacked inside our garage and inside my work space. And I'm delighted whenever I discover an old item gives new functionality to some of my long-standing pieces of recording gear. Today, I enjoyed a simple recording session with XLR mics providing audio inputs to my Samsung Note 9. I captured the workflow in a Topgold Audio Clip on Spreaker.

Sharing #clonmelarts programme items in a busy cafe

CLAIRE BENTLEY took a pair of Rode Smart Lav+ lapel mics into the noisiest part of the Buttermarket Cafe to recap the most prominent coverage of art on the Tipperary Live website today. The top arts coverage is about the Junction Arts Festival.

Listen to "#ClonmelArts According to Google E04" on Spreaker.

I've started listening to #clonmelarts and my phone has started offering me updates at least once an hour. If you want to listen to what I'm learning, you can ask for "Clonmel Junction Arts Podcast" and you'll enjoy a wide diversity of cross-talk about the biggest summer arts festival in the sunny southeast of Ireland.

Podcasting Inside #clonmelarts

AFTER LISTENING TO the South Tipp Arts Podcast we thought it might be useful to create a podcast about the top arts festival in Tipperary--the Clonmel Junction Arts Festival. With the help of creative intern Claire Bentley and the guidance of festival director Cliona Maher, 10 episodes will complement the 2019 running of the Clonmel Junction Arts Festival.

Ten Years Ago My Daily Source Code Dried Up

TEN YEARS AGO, in February 2009, the final edition of Adam Curry's Daily Source Code [1] dropped into my iTunes account. There's been nothing like Adam's vibe since. [2]

A few years later, out of the blue came DSC 822, so I'm embedding it here on this blog post. Then I plan to set aside 90 minutes today to listen to this podcast again because it will rewind so many riffs from the sound track of my life. Those are the kinds of things I need to keep close at hand.

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.

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.

Feels Good to Have a Talking Community h/t @larrygmaguire #cong19

ONE OF THE JOYS of being connected online is getting to meet offline and chatting about shared values. I got a half hour of face-to-face chat with @larrygmaguire and learned more about his iron skillet, the importance of having a quiet third space in your own car, and what lies ahead for readers of The Artist's Manifesto. It's all part of Congversation 12, an audio series promoting community for the annual Congregation Unconference.

Report on Initial State of Congversations

I'M WORKING WITH the youngest members of Ireland's Youth Media Team during part of the Christmas Break 2018 and laying down the workflow for production of the next 90 episodes of Congversations from Ireland. I've made a short eight minute clip that breaks down the process.
