Video Playback Update

Hey you guys n gals. You may notice, or at least it should be much more obvious once I post this week’s video, that I’ve updated the way our site videos play back after seeing how seamlessly DeK has stuff play on No Fat Clips!!!. Now I know that you’re mainly strong silent types, but [...]

EP107: Eight Episodes

You’d have heard in my intro last episode that I was invited back as a reader for Steve Eley’s fantastic Science Fiction Podcast, Escape Pod, which must mean he didn’t lose too many listeners last time round. I read Robert Reed’s Hugo Nominated story Eight Episodes which Steve’s running as part of Escape Pod’s annual [...]

Sorry I’m late :-(

Somehow I thought that I’d be able to decorate and move into my new house, finish at my job, try to sort out new work, record a couple new interviews, edit the Birds Eye View festival special and release a regular episode all by today!
As you can see that has in no way happened. [...]

EP97: Cinderella Suicide

Dean of Clone The Homeless and also the force behind the Deal Machine track I played in Ep 015, alerting me to a potential problem with the show I had no idea about. It seems that some podcatchers when doing their auto-grab [...]

iTunes knows our name!

So there I was nosing around the iTunes podcast directory, looking for even more chatter to add to my list of 40 odd subscribed shows - Yes, I know I’ll never get round to listening to them all, but if I don’t look I might miss something really good which could jump into my regular [...]

What are words worth?

So it’s been pointed out to me that while the Directors Notes podcast is a highlight of the week for many of you, it is after all just 30mins once a week leaving you with a mass of free time on your idle hands. As I wouldn’t want to be responsible for overloading the devil [...]

redazril is in the house

Because the hunt for films never ends and I’m yet to find a way to function effectively 24/7, I’m pleased to say that we’re adding another member to the Directors Notes’ team.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to media hunter extraordinaire redazril. redazril’s been helping out Directors Notes for a while now, so it [...]
