You may also have noticed a new page all about me! HOW ABOUT THAT!

As the title suggests this is a test for a forthcoming VIDEO version of the podcast.

As with most things I do, I have just followed my instincts and have just gone ahead without reading any “How to” articles and just hope that this works first time!

What I am hoping is that you will be able to see and hear this test on your iPod, smartphone and tablet as well as straight off this page.

If you can give me any feedback as to how you watched this and what the quality was like or even if it worked or not, I would be most grateful.

It will take a while to filter through to  so don’t be surprised if it isn’t there straight away.

Fingers crossed eh?

Thanks
