Some other bits I missed....

Just in case you haven't noticed the link graphic on the right-hand side of the Rev Up Review home page...

The Rev Up Review is now listed at Britcaster.com UK podcasting at its best - britcaster.com -- home to such terribly British podcasts as A Minor Technicality and The Richard Vobes Radio Show. Thanks to Neil Dixon of Britcaster for accepting The Rev Up Review into this very British family.

If you subscribe to the Britcaster podcast feed you'll automatically receive a host of British podcasts, now including The Rev Up Review.

News catch-up

First, something I should have posted here last week but only just got around to -- you can hear the Rev-Master reading a story for Steve Eley's Escape Pod here...

http://escape.extraneous.org/2005/07/18/ep-flash-paradox/

(Thanks Steve, it was fun!)

Second (and more up-to-date): Gary Leland, aka P. Dilly (formerly known as the Pickleman), played the Rev Up Review promo on the Podcast Pickle Show - Episode VII. (Thanks Gary!)

Lastly, a new Rev Up Review should be up some time this coming weekend.

Thanks for concerned emails

Thanks to those who emailed me about the London explosions. It's been frightening watching the carnage on TV, but fairly amazing to see how quickly the transport system was up and running again. Thankfully my nearest and dearest were nowhere near the capital on the day, but we'll all need to be extra vigilant from now on. Vigilant, yes -- cowed, no. Trying to fathom the mind of a terrorist is a pretty fruitless task, so we simply endeavour to continue with our lives.

Anyone who was affected, indirectly or directly -- my thoughts go out to you. There's little comfort we can offer to those maimed or bereaved, other than to make it known that our sympathies are with them, and that despite the threats we will not be terrorized.
