The Zedcast

Zedcast043FromMy Friends

zedcast@gmail.com — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:05:00 GMT

I am constantly blown away by the thoughtfulness and generosity of the podcast community. Todays Zedcast was produced entirely by my Friends. I knew nothing about it until I woke up early this morning to get some work done before the kids got up and found this in my GMail. It is without a doubt one of the sweetest, most thoughtful things I have ever received for my birthday.

I have been heartsick over the lack of activity in the Zedcast feed. It is not for lack of inspiration or want of muse. It is purely a Time & Priority thing. I am writing notes and recording snippets constantly. But none has ever reached the point of show-ness. During the first year, I put off my (paid) work, my family, and my running group to produce the Zedcast. During the second year I tried to do it all and put off my health as well. This year I have spent more time with my family, gotten back to regular marathon training, and my business is flourishing. This has left little time for anything else.

I will be back at the show in some form after Dec 5, but I know better than to make any promises beyond this.

I am still subscribed to over 200 podcasts and listen all day long. And the friends represented here are always at the top of my listening list, though I don't tell them often enough.

Thank you for a wonderful birthday gift!

Katherine & Rob, Ken, Chris, James, Ted, Sylvain, Sage, Dave & Isabelle, Mark, Cat & Bob.

Zedcast Short Announcement

zedcast@gmail.com — Mon, 2 Jul 2007 14:12:00 GMT

Greetings Zed Heads! This is just a short announcement to let you know that as I transfer audio files from one hosting service to another you may experience additional downloads of older Zedcast episodes (numbered from 001-039). Please listen or delete them as you wish with my apologies. The feed should settle down after a few days.

I am on vacation for the next two weeks and will be releasing several new Zedcast episodes, (numbered 040 and up), including audio and video from Podcasters Across Borders 2007, new stories and the long promised Podcasters Across Canada. Stay tuned and Happy Canada Day to my fellow countrymen, and Happy Independence Day to our friends and neighbours in the United States.

- Bruce Murray (Yes, I'm still alive!)

I See Zed People...

zedcast@gmail.com — Wed, 4 Apr 2007 10:22:00 GMT

I went to a podcaster meet-up a few weeks back that was hosted by Jeff MacArthur, co-host of the wildly popular CommandN video podcast. Also attending were Steve Dinn from SpineRadio.com, Chris Campbell from CommandN and Bad Metaphor, Rob and John from EMS Live and Steve from unTV. Amber MacArthur also attended for a short time through video chat. I gave our host a Zedcast T-Shirt and was flattered to see, on the next episode of CommandN, Jeff wearing the "I see Zed People" shirt during his segment.

I get up on my soap box for a rare rant against government sanctioned killing. I'll introduce a new segment to this Canadian Podcast. And we'll top that all off with some podsafe travel music.

Zedcast 038 SSSSSSSmokin'

zedcast@gmail.com — Tue, 6 Feb 2007 05:40:00 GMT

When I was 23 years old I sat down and wrote a list. It was a list of "Everything that I wanted to do before I died, but was putting off until... someday". And I realized that 'someday' was never going to come unless I started doing some of those things today. Over the next several weeks I'm going to tell you about some of the things on The List. Some that I have accomplished, and some that I'm still working on.

Today on The List: #1 Quit Smoking

Intro ID by The Philosophy Guy
That Time of the Month by Rob from Podcast 411

Music:
"Parsley" by Dave from Chub Creek
Mountain Coffee Breakdown" by The Muckland Crooners

My chat with Trucker Tom

zedcast@gmail.com — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 18:26:00 GMT

I've just replaced the hard drive in my computer for the fourth time in as many weeks. And I've spent much of that time re-installing software and getting back-up files replaced on each drive. But the new drive is permanent and I should have the recording studio back up and running in the next few days.

In the mean time, the interview, with Trucker Tom from poolside at the Marriott on the last night of the Expo is up on his website if you want to have a listen.

New Zedcast very soon, thanks for your patience. Oh and don't forget to vote in the poll (on the left side bar)

Cheers, - Bruce

In the mean time...

zedcast@gmail.com — Mon, 9 Oct 2006 21:14:00 GMT

As I work on editing all of the audio from the Podcast and Portable Media Expo (The Expo). I thought you might like to check out some of the other projects that I have been involved in recently, outside of the Zedcast feed.

I was a guest host on the Podcast Morons show and did a segment on editing:

*Podcast Morons #13 The Power of Zediting

I was a (self appointed) Roving Reporter for the Canadian Podcast Buffet in a two part series interviewing Canadian podcasters at The Expo:

*Special Edition: PPME Canadians #1
*Special Edition: PPME Canadians #2

I was featured on Brian Ibbott's 250th edition of Coverville recorded at The Expo:

* Coverville #250 From The Podcast Expo

And also:

*Quirky Quiz #3 on Quirky Nomads with Sage Tyrtle

I'll also be featured in an interview with Trucker Tom, and I'll post the link when that is up.

OK, happy listening and I'll get back to editing. I'll have a new Zedcast up very soon.

I'm Still Alive!

zedcast@gmail.com — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 16:38:00 GMT

Hi Everybody,

Just a note to let everybody know that I Podshow PDN {podshow-e02660da9f5cb372ab058f6266432465} ">T LIVES...THE ZEDCAST LIVES!

I've been travelling coast to coast collecting audio but haven't had time to get a show edited. I'm still playing catch-up after the New York City Marathon and the Portable Media Expo in California.

Actually I'm working on three shows at once so there is lots of content coming. (This is the first time I've used the "text blog" entry feature...how come there is no sound...!?!)

Thank you all for staying subscribed and bearing with me. Your patience will be rewarded very soon. - Bruce

Zedcast 015 The Running Group

zedcast@gmail.com — Fri, 4 Nov 2005 15:11:00 GMT

Zedcast 015 The Running Group - How do you run a marathon? One step at a time! This week a lighthearted discussion with the running group that I coach. They tell how they went from never having run before, to the starting line of the New York City Marathon. A little wine and a lot of laughs help to illustrate the stories. (Two of the group have already run their goal marathon race last month, but this was recorded before the PEI Marathon in September).
