I’m happy to announce that Keith Peters is joining the Skip Intro podcast as a co-host and the next episode is just around the corner!

We’ve got some great content lined up for episode 3 and moving forward have plans to make it more interactive, have guests over for round table discussions, do interviews and take your questions.

Its really great to have Keith working with me now, it sure breaths new life into the project and we should now be able to turn out episodes on a more regular basis. Just finishing up editing the recordings and you can expect a new show in the next couple of days.

I just got back from a fantastic weekend in London, was practically on the verge of a burnout so did a world of good to get away from work for a day or two . Looking at my to do list I’ve had to come to the conclusion that finishing up my podcast recordings will not be something I’ll manage in the next few weeks.

That said, rather than have the podcast bleed to death while I get through my backlog of work, I’m on the lookout for some people to help out with hosting the show. As you know the basic idea is to cover news and events as it happens in the Flash community. Those involved would take turns in presenting an episode, with the aim of doing some co-presentation work moving forward.

If you’re interested just drop me an email with your motivation and I’ll get back to you asap!

It took me a bit longer than expected to get this second episode of the podcast out but here it is, talking about Flash and DRM and community news and events.

Here it finally is, despite having a bit of a cold, my first episode of Skip Intro — a bi-weekly podcast where I talk about Flash platform news and events.

Audio quality needs some improvement but please bear with me for now.

Happy holidays everyone!

woohoo, my recording gear finally arrived… got myself a nice little setup with a Samson C01U condensor mic; shockmount, pop filter and table stand. Its not the most advanced piece of equipment but price/quality wise this is a pretty sweet deal, especially if the main purpose is simple voice recording — and the sound quality is actually much better than I had anticipated.

I’m aiming to get a first podcast out before the holidays, if you’ve got any questions about Flash/Flex or multimedia in general or want to share your view on whats happening in the community drop me a line (or even better, whip up an audio comment ;)) and I’ll more than likely include it in one of the upcoming episodes.

Stay tuned for more news on this!

The guys at Multi-Mania did something really cool this year, in the runup to the event they’re publishing a podcast that features interviews with several speakers.

At the moment there are interviews available with Serge Jespers, David Alameda and myself. As you might be able to tell from the interview I’m pretty excited about what Flex 2 has to offer and the future of the Flash platform
