I haven't mowed much this year. And we're moving, maybe to a mountain road.

Thinking about many of my favourite walks in Ireland. Up Croagh Patrick in the fog. Along the eroded cliffs from Greystones to Bray. Shuffling miles after work from the DART. Getting my first hiking boots for treks up the Sugarloaf Mountains. Enjoying the colour purple in the Knockmealdown Mountains. Seeing topless Germans on Achill Island. Smelling lovely aromas at night in centre city Dublin. Lifted by the smell of hops in Kilkenny's laneways. Sucking on raspberries along the boreens of County Tipperary. Walking through Burgagery Lands in Clonmel on the way to work. And marveling at long boats in the River Suir while walking the Blueway.

After a week at the top of the charts on Anchor v2, I decided to move across to version three. And Eli Garf is coming with me! I heard from Maria Humphreys and Paul O'Mahony so I put them into this episode as well. A lot of people are talking about where podcasting is headed, so I recapped Tom Webster's Medium article that answers that question. And I've included Auf dem Wasser zu Singer by Franz Liszt as well as Zoe Keating's "We Insist" from her excellent "One Cello x 16" collection. You should buy both of them too. If you want more than me babbling, you should head over to http://insideview.ie where this episode features in a blog post.

Bernie experiments at @omaniblog's request by using iOS11 to hear both audio and video content before repurposing that content as MP3 uploads to Anchor. No Waves were harmed during this experimentation with Limor, Anchor, Converter+ and Voice Record Pro (in cover art).

Here Comes @topgold on Anchor v3

I've been listening on Anchor since its first release on iOS and I miss the social audio dimension that attracted me to the Anchor platform. So nowadays, I'm spending most of my time on Spreaker (where I'm topgoldie) and on http://limor.ie (where I'm http://twitter.com/topgold). I remember Anchor's heyday, with daily content from @askavie and @ileane and although their voices can still be found online, they come to my ears via my podcatchers. I don't want to ignore people who call in, so I've cobbled together several recent calls from http://soundcloud.com/techauthoritypodcast and http://anchor.fm/fryedoreo and http://anchor.fm/firemanrich, and http://anchor.fm/maria-humphreys because they're worth sharing from my earbuds to yours. If you get all the way to the end of this clip, you'll hear @freakyfwoof in the background. If you want to catch up with me, look for @topgold on all good social networks.

We shared several country homes with our four American cousins. The four kids insisted upon having swimming pools so http://maryborough.com obliged right away. Brilliant sunshine greeted us during our four hours among the wildlife at http://fota.ie but a high point of the trip for the kids had to be meeting their cousins, seeing our two rehomed cats, and hanging out in our attic. The kids enjoyed crawling around historic places like Cahir Castle in the cover art. A significant part of our good times happened because of homes we found on http://airbnb.ie and self-catering easily cut seven hundred euro off the cost of this week-long Irish holiday. But no matter what, if we're hosting friends in Ireland, we're recommending the Cork International Hotel as their point of departure. We've always had a top class experience with the staff and the child-friendly facilities there.
