Sorry for the gap in podcasts - here's an update for August.

This podcast was recorded and produced entirely on my iPad2 without any additional support which explains the picture and sound quality issues.

Enjoy!

This is the long awaited first part of Podcast #6!

As it's a new year I have started with an introduction to the Railway and a brief history of the line.

The majority of this podcast was recorded in the Bar Car at Kemsley Down in January (on a very cold day!) so the sound quality isn't as good as my Snowball microphone, also it finishes rather abruptly but that was due to a corruption in the recorded file, as it was so close to the end it worked out okay. You'll notice that I don't look at the camera much - sorry about that, I'm not being rude but my autocue program had broken down, also I was intending to use this as a commentary track but actually quite enjoyed the interaction, perhaps the Bar Car (or other coach) could be my studio in the future!

Each part will be uploaded as soon as it is done - due to the amount of news, Part 3 may turn into a full blown news programme!
