    BritPack number 4 is alive!

    The latest edition of the BritPack is now live! I'm number two in this line up - the theme of which is "10 years ago and 10 years ahead". In my segment I wax a bit philosophical due to the recent birth of my daughter - my appologies... Direct link. Britcaster entry.

    A Brit Abroad - August 15, 2005

    Ok, so I think I'm just going to fess up and call this a monthly show from now on as, of course, it's been another month since the last one! Today's show is a tad special as I'm joined by my lovely wife Nabila. We chat mainly about the differences between living as Brits in the UK and USA, including housing, builders, shop staff, getting your nails done, the people and the telly... At 26 and a half minutes and weighing in at 18.2MB, It's A Brit Abroad! Direct MP3 RSS Feed for the podcasting clients No show notes today as this is a general ramble... oh, and yes I know it's Monday, even though I said Tuesday in the show... Enjoy!

    A Brit Abroad - July 13, 2005

    Again, another month has passed, but this time I'm on vacation, so hopefully this will become a tad more regular. Maybe. Anyhow, welcome all you iTunes users! Today we talk about the events in London, Gnomedex, show notes as OPML, golf and fail miserably to talk about anything related to life differences between the US and the UK (sorry Paul, next time. I promise - I'll have the wife do it). Today's music is by the band I'm a member of, Spank. For this show, I've encoded at a higher bitrate, mainly because I've been jealous of the audio quality of the other podcasts I listen to that are encoded at a higher rate, but also because I'm not paying for the extended bandwidth as these are now hosted on libsyn... Please let me know if you have any issues with playback. At exactly 32 minutes and weighing in at 22.1MB, It's A Brit Abroad!
