VFTQ 125 - Interview with GrannyMar
VFTQ 125 - Interview with GrannyMar can be downloaded for free at www.ViewFromTheQuad.com
GrannyMar, Winner of an Irish Blog Award in 2008, is Podcasting’s Super Gran. She was thrown into the online world by her daughter for a lecture on getting your granny into podcasting, and has been hooked ever since.
I met her in Podcamp Ireland 2008, where she was giving a talk on how much help a blog or podcast can be for those who have little or no family, and the talk was so very interesting that I just had to pull her aside later and asked for an interview.

Review of Blue Snowball Microphone
Here is a recording/review I did of about and using the Blue Snowball microphone. The audio has no effects on it, but my voice was slightly horse at the time of the recording.
Go to http://is.gd/8YsQ to see photos of the unboxing, and to order yourself a Blue Snowball Mic, head on down to Amazon where they have them for $85, which is a hell of a lot cheaper then I paid for my two. Just head to http://is.gd/8YmU.
Talk to you guys next week,
Cian
VFTQ 124 - interview with Ben of Benrik
Hey there!
This week I interview Ben Carey, one of the two genii (Geniuses?) behind Benrik.
“Benrik Limited is the corporate lovechild of Ben Carey and Henrik Delehag, and the outlet for their creative ideas and general outpourings.
Benrik’s mission is to introduce a welcome element of branded anarchy into our predictable lives. Benrik’s books are thus instruction manuals for warped living.”
