Molly Podcast

Well this is a bit of a podcast disaster. The Worst Ever Podcast, to quote Top of the Pods. If that does not put you off, you can still download it here.

I recorded a great interview with Molly E Holzschlag at a Geek Dinner in her honour here in London last night. That’s The Molly, as one of my absolute favourite bloggers whom you can read at Molly.Com. She’s a web developer and guru, but she opens up her life and her personality on her blog, and in real life, she’s just like her blog (wonderful hair and all).

Well I was walking back home along a very frozen Oxford Street with my headphones clamped over my ears to keep them warm. I was listening back to the interview, and thinking it was really great and congratulating myself for recording her so clearly against the very loud noise of the Hoggs Head Pub. But only a little way in - after really just the warm up - the interview conked out.

I was listening to it all the time while recording through my headphones. I know I captured her voice. My best guess is that I didn’t give the Sony Minidisc enough time to save the data. Probably had one too many beers. The Minidisc is fairly idiot proof, but unfortunately it isn’t quite drunk proof.

So apologies, it’s more of a snippet than an interview. And then we give you an update on Storynory.

If this was the BBC, I would just cover my tracks, cut out a few seconds, and tell my boss that I grabbed “a great clip” of Molly. But in the spirit of podcasting, I let the tape run out in mid sentence…..
