So I had something really BIG planned for this show but, well, like most of the big plans I have, this one didn’t pan out in time. Instead, I’ve done a little retrospective of some of what I think the high points have been for the show over the last 200 episodes. In order of appearance you’ll hear short clips from my interviews with:

Thanks for still listening folks. You’ve made an old man very hard. I mean happy.

So… since Ewan Spence started doing TPN Rock a couple of years ago, I’ve wanted to have a crack at it. And as soon as he told me he was looking for guests hosts, I DEMANDED a go at it.

John Howard *still* doesn’t want to do anything about climate change. The Cartoon Network pays $2 million in fines in the cheapest ad buy this year. And I review some of the recent comments on the blog. All that and not much more on tonight’s show.

Chris Saad is one of the whizkid whippersnappers behind Brisbane-based start-up Touchstone. He’s also one of the founders of the new Media 2.0 Workgroup which (according to their site) is

… a group of industry commentators, agitators and innovators who believe that the phenomena of democratic participation will change the face of media creation, distribution and consumption.

Of course, they haven’t (yet) invited me to be part of the group so I don’t know how authoritative it can be. After all, I *am* Media 2.0. Look it up in Wikipedia and you’ll see my sunnies. ANYWAY…

Here’s some of the links mentioned in the show:

Here’s a picture of what Joost looks like for those of you who aren’t on it yet:

And because not everyone is on Tangler yet, I have set up a new forum to discuss Media 2.0 further. A place to talk about how media is changing, your favourite podcasts, internet TV, torrent sites, media center devices, etc.

Recently I discovered an Aussie start-up taking on the big boys in the area of local search – the online business directory dLook. Started in April 2006 by Theo and Meg Tsiamis, dLook is going head-to-head with the bigger online business directories in Australia and is starting to take siginificant marketshare from them, at least in terms of traffic.

Check out dLook’s Alexa chart versus Sensis’ YellowPages:

The best part of the story? dLook has four employees and is self-funded out of the Tsiamis’ bank account!

So I invited Theo onto the show to talk about why they decided to step out of their previous business (real estate development) to set up a search site (hint: a rude reply from one of the existing search providers) and how they are going to continue to beat them at their own game.

I was listening today to an episode of The Infidel Guy’s show and he was interviewing a bloke by the name of Dan Garvin. Dan Garvin was a Scientologist for 27 years and a Sea Org member (their senior ranks, so-called because all the secret stuff happens on an ocean liner) for 25 years. He worked for ten years in their intelligence, PR, and Legal branch, the Office of Special Affairs (OSA). Dan got out two and a half years ago because a series of realizations that lead him to atheism and skepticism. All this got me thinking about how ludicrous the claims of the Scientologists are. But are they any more ridiculous than the claims of other religions?

Okay okay, so it’s time I gave the Christians some airtime.

Today my guest is John Dickson.

John has degrees in theology (Moore Theological College) and ancient history (Macquarie University). He holds the position of Honorary Associate in the Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University, and is engaged in ongoing research into early Christianity. He also teaches a course on World Religions for the Macquarie Christian Studies Institute. John began his writing career in 1993 and has since produced twelve titles, winning Australian Christian Book of the Year in 2000 and 2005. His books have focused on the relevance of the Christian faith in the contemporary world. An ordained Anglican, John has spent the best part of a decade working as a local church minister (most recently with St Andrew’s, Roseville). He has since accepted the role of Writer-in-Residence for Blue Bottle Books, a position which affords him the freedom to research, write and speak on a fulltime basis. John also hosts ‘Reflection’, weeknights at 10pm on Sydney’s FM 103.2.

John and I discuss the historical argument that Jesus of Nazareth actually did exist, based on his book “The Christ Files”.

This is a pretty long show, about one hour twenty. I’m going to be in Sydney until late tomorrow night so there won’t be a show Thursday. This one is long enough to last you at least a couple of days.

If you’re interested in reading more about some of the subjects we discuss in this show, such as the Q Document, the Gospel of Thomas, or the background behind the ancient pagan and Jewish sources which mention Christianity, you can find my source sites on my religion del.icio.us page.

Today my guest is John Allsopp – a software engineer, speaker, writer, educator and surf lifesaver, with a long standing interest in CSS, web design and development. He is also one of the founders and organizers of the web design and development conferences “Web Directions“.

We discuss “Web 2.0”, what it means, and why it is goodness. We also discuss the Web Directions conference that John is involved in running and Western Civilisation, the software business that he and his business partner Maxine run.

Then we venture in John’s views on religion and touch on Qantas’ decision to prevent a passenger from boarding a plane due to his t-shirt.

All this and more (well… not much more actually) on today’s episode!
