Teletextr Dan Farrimond

“But guys,” we hear you cry. “How on earth can you represent teletext, a naturally silent medium, in audio form?” Well, Carl and Dan weren’t quite sure at first but, thanks to an unnatural determination when it comes to telemetext, began fumbling blindly for ‘relevant’ topics. And do you know what? I don’t think they had any problems finding talking points… I’ll let you be the judge of that, however.

A musical mini podcast of out-takes from Teletextr 02. Marry Crestmas.

It’s the Teletextr Podcast: The World at Your Fingertips! Carl and Harry are back to discuss teletext at art galleries, physical and analogue, in 2015 for our Teletext Art Special. There’s also some juicy discussion on teletext porno, such as it is, teletext’s ongoing fight against the evil lizards and the world’s first teletext song… perhaps.

Teletextr goes all Top Gear circa 1998 with a nostalgia-heavy teletext-head edition. Vroom! What was teletext like in Canada? Hosts Dan and Carl invite Bruno St Gelais into the studio to chat about why Telidon was the most engaging thing on national television. What was teletext like in the UK? Hosts Dan and Carl invite Russty Russ over to Teletextr HQ for tea ‘n’ biscuits. And to talk about Ceefax, the death of Oracle and how Teletext Ltd ruled the (pixellated) world.

Paul ‘Minitel’ Rose joins Carl (‘C-Man’) and Dan for some 18+ chat about explicit teletext art, controversial Ceefax news items, cross dressing gentlemen and enormous mice. This podcast is sponsored by Jacob’s Clock Crackers.

Apples, oranges and raspberries are the subject of this pre-Block Party babble.
