A couple of weeks ago, leading Sydney AM radio host and journalist, Richard Glover, wrote an article for the Sydney Morning Herald which took a swipe at podcasting. I approached him to do an interview with me and, to his credit, he took up the offer. So I had a ten minute chat with him late last week.

Most of us know Doug Kaye as the Barry-Whitesque-smooth-as-molasses voice emanating from the always-stimulating mp3s found at IT Conversations. Listening to the ITC recordings from POP!Tech 2004 were one of the motivations for me to start podcasting last year. Doug is one of the people in this world I am sincerely grateful for.

So when I had the chance, thanks once again to an email introduction from Buzz Bruggeman from Activewords, to chat with Doug yesterday, I wanted to know a little bit about Doug the man – his background before starting ITC, why he started ITC, and where he is taking ITC. For the last part, he was kind of enough to give me a scoop that even “Team ITC” haven’t heard yet! I know this because I’ve received several IM’s from Team ITC people today after Doug told them to listen into the show! 🙂

So that’s why y’all are getting TWO – count ’em ONE TWO – episodes of G’DAY WORLD this week.

Enjoy!

I first met Amy Wohl over Skype about six months ago when Buzz Bruggeman was doing one of his “hey look I know a podcaster from Australia!” things, Skyping me from one of the 1000 or so conferences he must attend each year, to show someone how incredibly cool Skype is.

I then met her in person at DEMO in Arizona last Feb, and had a lovely meal with Amy and her husband, Buzz and Andy Ruff (Microsoft’s Entourage Product Manager).

So, who is Amy Wohl? Well she has been around the PC industry for 3o years, working as a strategist and consultant to most of the big PC firms. She knows Gates, Jobs, McNealy et al on a first name basis. THEY TAKE HER CALLS.

From her website:

Amy D. Wohl is President of Wohl Associates and one of the best known consultants in the computer industry. Mrs. Wohl is an acknowledged expert in office automation, graphical user interfaces and client/server computing. She was a pioneer in the field of word processing, but she works in many areas of computing. Mrs. Wohl is editor and publisher of Amy D. Wohl’s Opinions, a monthly newsletter.

Wohl is an experienced commentator on the computer industry and is widely quoted in business publications. She has been advising vendors on product design and marketing issues and helping end-user organizations plan for and design real systems for 20 years. Prior to forming Wohl Associates, Mrs. Wohl was President of Advanced Office Concepts Corporation. She also worked at the Datapro Research Corporation division of McGraw-Hill as Executive Editor of their Office Systems Group and Director of Office Automation Consulting. A noted speaker, Mrs. Wohl has addressed computer industry topics at meetings and conferences around the world. In 1985, she was awarded the Ada Lovelace Keats award of the Association of Women in Computing for her service to the industry and in 1994 was voted one of the Top 100 Women in Computing.

So gather round ye children and listen to us chat with someone who knows a lot more than you do. Or even us (and that says a lot!). 🙂

Shel Israel is a God amongst insects. Recovering publicist. Blogger. Author. Raconteur (I’m actually not sure what that means, but I’m pretty sure Shel is one anyway… just sounds kinda right). Friend of the rich and famous. Champion of the poor and downtrodden. Hell, he was even featured in Forbes magazine earlier in the year.

Unfortunately, he wouldn’t know a decent cup of coffee if it bit him on backside, but hey, he’s a yank, so we’re cutting him some slack. 🙂

Andy Singleton is the President of a software company in Needham, Mass. called Assembla. He recently wrote an article in IT Journal entitled “Is The Enterpise Software Licensing Business Dying?” which got a lot of attention on sites like Slashdot, so I thought we should get him on the show to discuss his ideas in more depth.

OK…managed to put a number of 5-10 minute interviews with key people from the Blogtalk Downunder conference into one show.

Between the 19th and 21st of May 2005, i was lucky enough to be invited as a guest to attend the Blogtalk Downunder conference being held in Sydney, Australia.

Blogtalk Downunder was the first blogging conference to be held in Australia and had some interesting speakers…including….one of the few (if not only) Australian politician’s to write and maintain his own blog, Senator Andrew Bartlett. You might Remember Senator Bartlett as Cameron interviewed him for a G’day World show a few weeks ago.

Well, i didn’t interview the Senator, but i did record his presentation at the conference. The recording quality is average as it was recorded staright onto an iPod with an iTalk, that was sitting on the lecturn directly in front of him. I have one more show where i recorded small 5 minute interviews with a few people that i will be putting up later this week as well.

Enjoy 🙂

G’DAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY WORRRRRRRRLD!

I’m back attacking the mic

Anyway,.. Cameron here and we’ve got a brand new show for ya.

This show Mick and I have a special guest, W. Wayne Turmel aka “dub-dub” who is about to start a new show on TPN. For details, listen to the show.

Another show without Mick! For no other reason than he’s been spending a lot of time travelling and offline lately.

This show is with Ajax Garcia, frontman for LA hard rock outfit “The Napoleon Blown Aparts“. I bought a compilation album of their songs from Magnatune a couple of months ago and it’s getting a lot of rotation on my iPod playlist.

Not only a great rocker, Ajax is also a very talented inker and has his own business “BigKidzToy” where he sells very kewl “poster kits”. Listen in as we talk about what happened to cock rock, whether or not it’s coming back, the opportunities for indy bands to find an audience using the web, and MORE!

On May 11th I had the opportunity to interview Senator Andrew Bartlett, Deputy Leader of the Australian Democrats, about the Federal Budget. My goal with this show wasn’t to provide cutting edge political commentary – because I can’t. That’s wayyy out of my league (and I’m sure you’d all agree).

The idea with this chat was to get one of Australia’s most experienced political leaders (Senator Bartlett was the leader of the Democrats for several years and has been a Senator since 1997) to help me get my head around whether or not this budget was good, bad or ugly and why. Is Treasurer Peter Costello really the Aussie equivalent of Senator Palpatine? Or is he Yoda? Is he doing a good job or is he screwing up our fine country? And why the hell do they have to carry on with all that schtick in Parliament?

Find out in this casual chat with a polly.
