So, everybody’s being hit hard by global recession and there are hundreds of bloggers and tech news sites already breaking news from the show (which hasn’t officially started yet). So what’s the point of being in Las Vegas with 130,000 other gadget hounds when hotel prices are tripled, it’s a nightmare to get around and [...]

Thanks to Mike Todd for the shots of this beautiful and rarely seen stone carving from Eric Gill, uncovered during the renovation work on the old BBC Broadcasting House in early 2005. Gill sculpted Prospero and Ariel in 1932 and it sits proudly on the front of BH above the main entrance. He left this [...]

This Grundig radio faithfully sat in my parent’s kitchen for the last 40 years or so. The tuning dial was fairly dodgy, making it really difficult to tune to another station then find radio 4 again, but that didn’t matter too much seeing as BBC radio 4 represents about 95% of my parent’s listening. (The [...]

This is the view from inside Radio France, looking out over the inner circle. Henri Bernard was the architect behind this iconic 60′s building near the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It’s now under a massive renovation program from the centre out. The architect allegedly got the inspiration from sitting by a pond and throwing a [...]

I’ve finally closed down my old blog, but found a post from back in 2006 that i couldn’t quite bring myself to throw away. It was the time when BT movio launched their DAB-IP mobile TV service, which closed down a year later due to several reasons: only one handset, one operator supporting it and [...]
Olinda “social hardware”

I want to tell you about Olinda. The name was dreamed up by schulze & webb from an Italo Calvino novel (and by the way a Brazilian city). Olinda is fundamentally a way to help us think about what a future radio could be. Olinda is a physical prototype, it’s a way of explaining concepts [...]
Radio Reborn update

OK, I admit defeat. cridders put up a much better revue of the recent radio reborn conference than i could have conjured up. so all i will do is pick up on one of the slides from the RCS pres. It was a pic of the now playing data being fed through to a billboard. [...]
Radio Reborn

moderating a panel tomorrow at “radio reborn” – a media guardian conference in London. Keynote panel has the potential to be interesting, with my ultimate boss (for now) Jenny Abramsky, Fru Hazlitt (GCAP for now) and Phillipe generali from RCS. just a shame there wasn’t someone from Global or Bauer there too… Will update tomorrow [...]

BBC radio Ulster has an engaging series of programmes called “Days Like This“, where people tell their stories about days that have made an impact in some lasting way. The Big Match below is an incredible piece of radio which was then beautifully animated. Not the sort of thing you can do for every programme, [...]
