Reassurance

Just to let you know...

...the next edition of RUR will be posted soon.

My podcasting energies have been recently taken up with preparing my novel The Plitone Revisionist for Podiobooks.com. That's now live, and I encourage you to visit www.podiobooks.com and subscribe. You need to be registered, but it's all free, and the great thing about Podiobooks.com is that whenever you subscribe to one of the many podiobooks available your subscription starts at the very first episode, and you can specify how often (daily, weekly, monthly) you get each subsequent episode. You can even, if you so wish, receive all the available episodes on the same day!

I will also be releasing a more verbose version of The Plitone Revisionist podcast novel at www.paulsjenkins.net, including promos, chat, and eventually feedback.

RUR #27 is likely to be a bumper edition, unless I decide to hold some of the huge amount of content I have until #28.

Forbidden Planet sees the light (or at least the link)

No sooner do I post a new RUR, complete with RANT about Forbidden Planet's lack of links for its 'podcast', than they actually put it right -- or nearly so. I can't seriously believe they've responded to my barely concealed invective in the short time since RUR #25 went live, but whatever prompted them to do it, I'm glad they did. The media player on the site now works with my MacBook, and there's a separate link to download the mp3. Only one though. There's no RSS feed yet -- but here's hoping...

Not podfading!

I had hoped to post a new RUR this weekend, but it's not going to happen. It's now Sunday evening (a very hot and humid Sunday evening here in Portsmouth) and I've still a fair bit of other stuff to do before the weekend is over. I spent a good part of today editing the audio for the next RUR fiction serial -- a story called "The Trivium", which will be serialized over the next five editions of The Rev Up Review.

I'm preparing plenty of content for upcoming shows, including a review of all the stories in the latest Interzone (204), as well as focusing on some new SF-related podcasts. And there'll be the usual rants (no shortage of those, it seems).

Also (not directly related to RUR) there is the podcast novel, the initial chapters of which I'm now recording and editing, so expect some fairly shameless pimping of The Plitone Revisionist, available soon.

Definitely not podfading -- thanks for your patience!

Tricks of the Podcasting Masters

For several months I've had a preorder at Amazon.co.uk for Tricks of the Podcasting Masters by Rob Walch & Mur Lafferty. Despite the expected delivery being some time in July I received email this morning saying it had been dispatched. About an hour later, moments before I was leaving for work, a heavy packet slid through my letter box.

I've been skimming through it this evening, and it's unlike any other podcasting book I've seen. It focuses less on the technical aspects and more on the content of podcasting, naming many podcasts and the podcasters producing that content, to give a real feel for what the authors describe as the 'art' of podcasting.

Of course I was delighted to find (thank you both, Rob, Mur) that The Rev Up Review is mentioned several times within its pages.

I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing, cover to cover, in between getting to grips with my new toy.

Slight hiccup with latest upload...

There was a hiccup in the upload of the latest RUR, which might have resulted in your podcatcher downloading a truncated file. The correct file is available here.

Or if you're using iTunes, simply delete the truncated file from the Podcasts page, Unsubscribe, and then subscribe again. iTunes will then download the correct file.
