TalkTeen Podcast: Recent Episodes
TalkTeen
TalkTeen is the ultimate podcast for teenagers; by teenagers. We play the latest music, talk about the latest in technology, sport, film, TV programmes, give listeners regular news updates, play hilarious prank calls and much much more!!!
This month's FREE newsletter has arrived. You can either download it by clicking here, if you have the latest edition of iTunes, it should download automatically, or you can download it from our website - just click here to get there!
This month's newsletter focuses on some of the best films around - remember, if you like watching alot of films, there is a link on our blog which can take you to a great website that lets you rent out films through the internet!
Look out for Episode 17 - coming soon to the web!!!
In the next few episodes that we will be releasing, we will be talking about some films that we particularly enjoyed.
If you wish to watch any of these films (or indeed - thousands and thousands of others) do not panic! You don't need to buy them. Why not just rent them?
OK - but some of these high street stores are a bit on the expensive side, aren't they? I mean - Blockbuster can charge £4 for one DVD for one night.
We've found (and use) a much better service - where you don't even need to LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.
Lovefilm.com is a fantastic website - where, after becoming a member (and paying around £10 a month) - you can get unlimited DVDs in that month! How cool is that???
Let us explain...
Imagine having access to hundreds of thousands of DVDs, Blu-Ray disks and video games - just at the touch of a button.
Lovefilm is a website where you pay a small amount, then pick any DVDs (or Blu-Ray disks or video games) and add them to your online list. Lovefilm will then, straight away, pick one of the DVDs on the list and send it to you, via the post. It comes the next working day. You watch it. If you like it, you can keep it for as long as you like. There are no late fees. When you send that back (free of charge, they even provide the envelope) - they immediately send you out the next one.
We are on a package where they send us two at a time - and it is absolutely brilliant! We can watch as many DVDs as we want every month, we just send them back after we watch them - and then we get the next one.
It is brilliant and we highly recommend it.
If you are interested in subscribing to Lovefilm - or just seeing more details, please click here to go to their website and subscribe.
Here it is! After another slightly longer wait than contemplated, the sixteenth episode is here, but it's a wait worth waiting for!
The interactive pictures are back - so watch the screen if you have a fairly modern mp3 player/iPod.
This episode is titled 'Get you guys involved' and it is exactly that.

Hi everyone,
Episode 12 will be coming very very soon, hope you liked the last one.
If you have any suggestions, compliments or complaints, please leave us a comment on this message!
Thank you.
Oh yeah, we've got a new 'high definition' logo if you are at all interested! Check it out below...
Finally - after a lot of technical problems and a lot more, the 11th episode of the podcast has arrived!
TalkTeen has a completely new look - you'll have to see it to believe it!
As Christmas is only two days away and New Year is only a couple more, we are setting a new competition for you guys.
Basically, we want you to take a picture of you holding a sign that you can download on our website. But we want you to make them as interesting and exciting as possible.
Perhaps you could wear a Santa Hat, or take it with a famous landmark in the background. Perhaps you could get your dog in the photo, or if you are going on holiday, take one there. Whatever you are doing, just take a photo and send it to us.
YOU WILL NEED TO PRINT OFF THE TALKTEEN POSTER WHICH YOU WILL NEED TO DISPLAY SOMEWHERE IN THE PICTURE.
The best ones will not only win a fantastic eBook, they will also get mentioned on the podcast and get their pictures posted onto the internet! This is a fantastic competition, not to be missed!
TO GET THE SIGN, YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE. CLICK HERE TO TAKE YOU THERE, AND THEN CLICK ON COMPETITION.
OK, you may have noticed that we are not making so many episodes of the podcast as usual. OK. Well, we have been suffering from technical difficulties and also other problems (exams, holidays, etc.) and have therefore been unable to make the podcast.
We will hopefully be starting to make loads more episodes after Christmas (hopefully, a christmas present will be able to help us out in making them!) Look out for everything, including new video podcasts as well as audio podcasts, for those lucky listeners who have iPod videos or similar.
So hold on, keep us in iTunes, do not forget about us, we're coming back!
Recently, an internationally known speaker for school assemblies, youth conferences, colleges, and educational events got in touch with us. He has spoken to over ONE MILLION PEOPLE, hosted a REALITY TV SHOW, and has shared the stage with BILL COSBY. Josh has the ability to connect on a rare level, to inspire, motivate and get young people to THINK about their lives.
We think that he was impressed with our podcast (we hope so anyway!) and he said that maybe you guys would like to know about him if anyone ever has any problems.
So if you need any advice about anything at all concerning teenage life, we really recommend that you get in touch with him - he is hugely well-known!
If you do have any thing that you would like his advice on, please click HERE to leave him your problem - or if you would just like to check out his site, please click on his banner underneath.
He has his own podcast, even his own TV series!
Finally, finally, finally...the next episode is out for you!
We are so very sorry that you had to wait so long - we know you were crying every night, just waiting for the next one to come out.
Well, cry no more as the podcast is here! This is the 10th anniversary of the podcast!!!
Have fun!
Episode 10 is finally here!
