Woo-hoo, I got a shout out! (Even if it took nicotine, ironically enough, to remember my name.... I finally kicked it, mostly, and have only succumbed to about a half dozen smokes since late May. So it goes.)

Yeah, so I'm mostly a "podfader" as I once read people like me are called. But hey, I got in early, made my noise, showed that I could do something fun, and moved on. This bloody grad school thing is starting to scare me (will I actually finish this dissertation?), so I needed to focus. I do miss it, though -- not just the audience and creative side but the bands and people that I got to interview. Alas.

I'm only *mostly* a podfader 'cause I have made a handful of other podcasts for the extracurricular activity that's been swallowing all my free time (politics). Those are much less entertaining, and I can still only crank one out every month or more because I *have* to. It does allow me to talk to slightly more highbrow people though, politicians and authors and such.

I'm wrapping up this term of my political responsibilities and hope to find time for podcasting "for fun" again, though I may let the old 'BBQ podfade into history. I'm thinking of cleaning up the language and content a bit, relying less on interviews/external sound, and moving the cast to my own personal blog (linked). This version will probably just be a bi-weekly amusing story/blog entry that, with some sound effects, would be funnier in sound than text -- perhaps still with one local band's song lightly woven into the background. We'll see.

I've already started thinking about a good audiocomment for CPv.2 though!

Take it easy, and avoid the chavs.

shel! always a pleasure.

Well done on the smoking thang. It was the break between jobs that led me back to the marlboro's and for no real reason.

I'd only heard about the term 'podfade' since I actually started podcasting again but I'm sure that most 'casters will get this feeling every now and again. We need a word for when podcasters stop and then start again.

Yeah, you gotta do some more for the fun of it. Loved the WTF stuff...and you always managed to find good stuff to play.

Anyway, I'm sure you've got books to be reading instead of this so I'll let you get on.Good luck with the dissertation ( I *hated* doing mine!)

Yeah fella, send me the comment!

Chat soon,

I'm a Sarf Londoner too - born in Tooting, grew up in Wandsworth, now living in SE London/Kent.

I've always had similar thoughts to yourself. North London has always seemed like a separate place to me, different atmosphere, ethnic mix, attitude...

Got friends in Palmers Green and Southgate and always feel completely lost up there - no terms of reference geographically.

Was on a bus near London Bridge once and two blokes sitting opposite me were bemoaning the fact that they had to 'come south', and couldn't wait to get back to the 'proper' side of London.

Go figure...

Hi Colskeez,

Great podcast, please don't name it the Jason podcast. The way you will get more listeners is giving us a weekly podcast. I know your busy but I have 2 young kids a demanding career a commute and I can't remember the last time I got a decent night's sleep. Chav's are everywhere and they are scum, move north and see the pikey's but what a quality of life you would have.

Keep up the podcast - never give up! Get yourself on BTPodshow commercial curry dot com.

Astolath, we probably passed each other in the street. 'brung up' in the same neck of the woods!

There has to be some truth in the in the different atmos etc, the only people who don't seem to notice are travellers etc who'll basically live anywhere ;)

I hope those guys on the the bus have realised the grave error of their ways and have re-located to less wanky surroundings!

I visited a friend in southgate *once* and I swear I actually got homesick!

weekly episode of 'jasoncast' coming right up * nose grows*
