Last year I recorded a bunch of podcasts that people seemed to enjoy. They were hosted on a service that needed paying for, and when I stopped paying, they dropped off the internet! Oh no!

So, have rehosted them on Soundcloud, which is free. I’ll go back over the original posts and update them when I get a chance, but in the meantime you can find them all at https://soundcloud.com/davebriggs, or you can use the embedded player below.

I’ve started up a new – hopefully weekly – podcast with my friend Robert.

If you like long, rambling conversations about not an awful lot, you’re going to love this.

Here’s the third episode of the podcast, where I chat with Helen Reynolds who helps organisations do great digital stuff at Social for the People, and is an all round good egg.

Apologies to our listener, and to Helen, as my Skype connection dropped at one point in the conversation. See if you can spot where it happened.

Today I was at #barcampnfp – a rather fun unconference for people working in charities and other not (just) for profit organisations. I was flying the flag for TaskSquad, the fantastic youth employment startup that Mary McKenna is leading, and where I am doing some work at the moment.

I really enjoyed the sessions I attended, and will blog more about some of the topics later on. However, one of the best bits of the day was getting to hang out with Lloyd Davis, one of my favourite and best people, and while we chatted we switched on an audio recorder and did a podcast.

The mp3 is here for you to download and listen to. Alternatively, head over to Lloyd’s post where there are some show notes.

In this first effort at podcasting, I talk about podcasting. Oh, and audiobooks, and an actual paper book, too.

With thanks to Lloyd Davis for the inspiration.

Hope it’s fun, or interesting. I’d settle for not a total waste of time, to be honest.
