´óÏó´«Ã½

Last night we put together a 3 hour special programme (hear it here) on the future of radio from the Radio Festival 2007 in Cambridge.
We were very kindly supported in this endeavour by the folks at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Cambridge who worked late to get us on air and lent us their studios, though we weren't sure about two signs posted inside: one that said If amber light shows alert RATS in Newsroom, and the other which warned that the studio webcams "worked in the dark"?!?!

The guest list was so big that I won't reproduce all of it.. Many of you thought Danny Baker's talk on podcasting was the cream of the crop. I agree, we'll see if we can make it available as a download over the next couple of days.

Big thanks too to our panelists who stayed up till 0200 hrs to talk about Radio 2.0: They included in the US: , and and in the UK, Terry Underhill, and . We were also joined by podcasters and

Big thanks also to Nick Reynolds and Rob Lawrence and the staff at the Radio Academy for helping out.. Finally, there were lots of young aspiring radio people at the event. Those considering a career in the glamourous world of radio might like to contemplate the scene (right) as host Nick, editor Howard, and producer Musty enjoy the delights of the benches outside The Flying Pig in Cambridge at 5AM in the morning as we await the first train back to London. No passers-by threw pennies at us..but that's probably because on that cold, damp morning, there weren't any passers by. We'd have only spent it on drink anyway...
