 GDay World 369 – The Marathon | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3:00:43

OMFG. Last night I did a live show with my most-excellent co-host Mr Nick Hodge and WE TALKED FOR FOUR HOURS. I kid you not. I only recorded the first THREE HOURS and I present them to you here (well the audio version anyway - to see the video you have to turn up on the night). Oh and this audio recording only has two of the five live numbers I performed during the show. One was in the pre-show festivities ("Come On Eileen") and there were a couple during the post-show wind-down (including "Ship Song"by Nick Cave). During this four hour marathon, Nick and I discussed: Australia's National Broadband Network America's bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Whether or not Nick is an atheist or an agnostic The financial crisis scam and what we might replace capitalism with The ethics of veganism The Church of LOTU The historicity of Jesus (or lack thereof) And much, much more. Listen to the full three hours - if you dare. Tune in to future live shows every Tuesday night at 8pm here.

 GDay World 366 – Dr Peter Ellyard on “Mining The Sky” | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 41:46

Today I had the pleasure to catch up once again with G'Day World regular Dr Peter Ellyard, futurist, environmentalist, and author of "Designing 2050: Pathways To Sustainable Prosperity On Spaceship Earth" which is published by TPN TXT. Buy your copy now! I chatted with Peter today about the recent IPCC report, Kevin Rudd's emissions trading scheme and whether or not we are all doomed, as George Monbiot is suggesting. Peter told me that our politicians and media are focusing on the wrong thing. We shouldn't be just thinking about reducing emissions, we should be talking about MINING THE SKY. As always, I just loved talking to Peter. He never fails to inspire. He's now on Twitter (I gave him a crash course today), so make sure you follow him. And we also have a Facebook group for Peter call "The Future Makers Club", make sure you sign up for that as well. If you are a journalist, blogger, twitterer or podcaster and you'd like a review copy of Designing 2050, please email me.

 G’day World #363 – Ben Templesmith, Comic Book Artist / Writer | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:06

If you read comics at all, you're probably know who Ben Templesmith is already. If you don't read comics - then why not? Anyway, Templesmith is an Australian-born comic book artist / writer who now lives and works in the USA where is perhaps best known for his work on 30 DAYS OF NIGHT (which he co-created and which was subsequently turned into a hit Hollywood film), WORMWOOD, HELLSPAWN and FELL (which is authored by Warren Ellis, perhaps the best known comic book writer working today). Ben has a new book THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES which just came out, as well as a new comic GROOM LAKE and a one-off DOCTOR WHO. I chatted with him recently about how you become a world-famous comic book artist and what motivates his art.      

 GDay World 362 – Mara Bun, Green Cross Aust | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:58

My guest today is Mara Bun, CEO of Green Cross Australia. According to their site: Green Cross Australia is a new national NGO that works on the frontline of climate change: the human dimension. We anticipate and resolve conflicts over natural resources that put our environment at risk, and we foster sustainable partnerships between business, government and the community. We prepare communities for environmental impacts in Australia and overseas. This ranges from the impact of fires, floods and environmental disasters on Australian cities to the mass displacement of populations due to rising sea levels. Pretty topical, with the floods in QLD and the fires in VIC. Mara talks about her background (which is an interesting story) and the vision of Green Cross. PLEASE SUPPORT THE TPN PLEDGE!

 GDay World 361 – Livewire Launch | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:36

Today my guests are Omar Kalifa, Managing Director, and Cinnamon Pollard, Partnership and Marketing Manager, of a new social networking site that is bring officially launched today called LIVEWIRE. According to their site: Livewire is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Starlight Children’s Foundation and is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the Clever Networks Program and in-kind contributions from Starlight and Livewire partners. Together we are working towards keeping children & young people living with illness or disability connected It’s estimated there are over 400,000 children and young people aged 10-21 years old coping with the impact of living with a serious illness, a chronic condition or a disability in Australia. While I think a social networking community for young people with serious illnesses is a good thing, I am concerned that this site has cost $14.7 million to set up, with half of that money coming from the Federal Government. I asked Omar and Cinnamon where the money went. PLEASE SUPPORT THE TPN PLEDGE!

 G’Day World #360 – Jed Montgomery on Obama | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:12:14

When I was visiting my girl Chrissy in Seattle last October, I met her best friend Jed Montgomery. The four of us (including Jed's partner Chris) had some vigorous debates about American politics. I was trying to make my point that for all of Obama's intelligence and oratory, at the end of the day he's a member of the Democratic Party. In the last 60 years, the Democrats have provided a pretty appalling list of Presidents: Harry Truman - Among other things, authorized the only use of nuclear weapons on a civilian population in history John Kennedy - Among other things, authorized the attempted invasion of Cuba, nearly brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, was sleeping with Marilyn Monroe, etc. Lyndon Johnson - Among other things, escalated the Vietnam war. Possibly implicated in the Kennedy assassination. Jimmy Carter - Actually, a pretty good guy, defender of human rights. Bill Clinton - Bombed and starved the people of Iraq, decided the best way to spend his days in the White House was to get blowjobs and stick cigars up an intern's vag. So... will Obama be another Jimmy Carter? Or... one of the others? Anyway, Jed joins me on the show today to talk about our hopes and concerns for the Obama administration. PLEASE SUPPORT THE TPN PLEDGE.

 G’Day World #359 – Antony Loewenstein on Gaza | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:23:53

You've seen it in the news over the last month. On December 27, Israel broke a six-month truce with Hamas (the democratically-elected leaders of the Palestinian people living in Gaza) and launched a three-week long attack on the small, densely-populated region. Palestinian casualties - 1,400 dead including more than 400 children and 100 women. Israeli casualties - 12 Israeli soldiers and 3 civilians. My guest on this show is Antony Loewenstein, Sydney-based journalist, author and blogger. Read more: David Rose article in Vanity Fair Henry Siegman, director of the US Middle East Project in New York, former national director of the American Jewish Congress and of the Synagogue Council of America, article "Israel’s Lies" PLEASE SUPPORT THE TPN PLEDGE. A note about this show: With the help of my two assistants Tim Grainger and Jonathan Hewlett, we ran a LIVE TWITSTREAM of the interview through the gdayworld twitter account. We asked people to submit questions via Twitter during the interview and I fed those back to Antony during our call. It was my first attempt at podcast twinterviewing and the results were interesting. Thanks to Darryl King from iReckon for seeding the filthy idea into my head over coffee a few days ago.

 Cameron Is Available For Hire… and Needs Your Help | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7:00

As some of you know, the main source of my income at the moment is producing podcasts for companies and government departments. Check this site for the basic pitch. I can produce podcasts for anyone anywhere in the world. Obviously video podcasts are limited to where I can get with my camera, but I've been recording audio interviews with international guests since 2004. Who needs a podcast? Anyone in: - Marketing - PR - HR - Training - Internal Comms Especially in this time of financial tightening, podcasting is a tool more companies should be using. It's a very cost-effective way to reach the key members of your audience on a weekly basis. And, of course, if you're going to produce social media, you should work with someone who has actually some experience producing media for large audiences and isn't just all talk. There are a few different kinds of podcasts my clients tend to be using at the moment: 1. The External "Transparency" podcast - this kind of podcast aims to make a client more accessible to their clients. It can be either video or audio and involves me doing interviews with people inside the company about what they (and their division) actually do. This typically suits a very large org that wants to soften or humanise it's image. The strategy is that their clients/customers will subscribe to the podcast to get a better understanding of what each of the divisions is working on and how best to engage with them. 2. The External "Value-Add" podcast - this kind of podcast usually has content completely unrelated to the actual services and products of the org, but which is designed to be valuable to the target audience. Typically it might involve interviews with world leaders in the same field. Each podcast is wrapped with an audio or video header and footer, "This podcast is brought to you by....", to keep the client's message and brand in front of their audience every week. 3. The Internal Management podcast - this podcast involves video or audio interviews with members of the management team (CEO, CFO, COO, HR Director, etc) on a regular basis to go out to the employees via their intranet. It allows the senior leadership of an org to efficaciously communicate business updates with their teams around the country and world on a weekly basis and in a personable manner. It might also involved interviews with employees throughout the business. Who are they? What do they do? What is their focus? This is a great tool for encouraging cross-collaboration in large orgs. 4. The External Product/Service podcast - this podcast has to be handled cleverly. Most people aren't going to subscribe to a podcast that's just a marketing vehicle UNLESS it's actually cool and informative or very funny. Often the best way to handle this kind of podcast is to get your customers involved. Get THEM talking about or demonstrating your products and services. Make it about THEM, not about you. Demographics: There's a common misconception that podcast audiences are still only the young tech savvy folks. While this was probably true back in 2004/5, it certainly isn't any longer. The success of Apple's iPods and iPhones, combined with the marketing of podcasts by mainstream media like the ABC, has actually skewed the demographic to a 40+ audience (according to the surveys I run on TPN's audience each year). So, here's how you can help - if you know of anyone who might be interested in using my services, make sure you point them in my direction. In addition, if you email me the names, email addresses and telephone numbers of the people in your company that fulfill the above roles, I'll contact them directly and give them the pitch (ideally using you as a point of introduction but, if you're not comfortable with that, I'll leave your name out of it). Here are my contact details to make it easy: Cameron Reilly CEO, The Podcast Network tel: +61 400455334

 G’Day World Redux – Vint Cerf, Father of The Internet | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:58

Back in May 2007 I was fortunate enough (thanks to Stan Relihan's efforts) to score an interview with the great Vint Cerf, the father of the Internet. It was a wonderful conversation and definitely one of my favourite interviews. I hope you enjoy it (again).

 G’Day World #358 – Greydon Square is back! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:34

Rapper Greydon Square joins me again on the show to talk about his new album The CPT Theorem. If you haven't heard of 27 year-old Greydon before (or heard my first interview with him), his story is interesting: he grew up (as Eddie Collins) in a Group Home in Compton, California, got involved with a gang at a young age, was busted for a crime, and given the choice of prison or joining the US Army. He chose the latter and ended up in the US Army in 2001 and Iraq in 2004. During this time he was a committed Christian who studied the Bible. The more he studied the Bible the more questions he had about his religion which lead to his becoming an atheist, with many of the lyrics of his rap songs focus on atheism and the skeptic inquiry. He also is completing a physics major. His fans include Richard Dawkins, Penn Jillette... and yours truly. This time, instead of focusing on his atheism, I wanted to talk to Greydon about how he writes his music. He's a one man band - producer, composer, lyricist, performer, businessman. And, as you'll here on the tracks I've laid into the interview, his shit is excellent. You can buy his albums through iTunes or from the link on his MySpace.
