Now 11a-2p on KFI

Here's a hot flash... KFI is moving my radio show ahead one hour (yes, permanently Wayne). Starting this weekend it airs 11a-2p - prime time on weekends. Tune in both days at 11a for coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show with Patrick Norton, John C. Dvorak, Scott Wilkinson of Ultimate AV Magazine, Robin Liss of CamcorderInfo.com, thebroken.org's Kevin Rose, Call for Help's Andy Walker and Amber MacArthur, FCC Chairman Michael Powell and many more.

Live MacWorld Keynote Coverage

Looks like Rick Yaeger's MacMerc is going to be hosting live chat coverage of Steve Jobs's keynote at Macworld Expo San Francisco. It's grassroots bleeding edge journalism at its best. Digital Bill Douthett, Jon Gales, and I will be giving you blow-by-blow coverage direct from the auditorium using IRC. In my case I'll be using my Sidekick II to telnet to my server running a command line IRC client (irssi - thanks to Dan for that idea). Will it work? Log in and see! January 11, 8a Pacific. Steve starts at 9a. Point your IRC client to irc.slashnet.org and join #mercworld for the play-by-play. Join #macmerc to chat with the peanut gallery. See you there!

Call for Oz

I'm very pleased to announce that Call for Help is returning to Australian television. We were only on there for a short while last year, but the response from down under was phenomenal. They really took to the show. Watch Andy, Amber, and me on The HOW TO Channel, channel 118 on FOXTEL Digital and Austar Digital starting March 7. And please start sending us your questions. We want to get as many Australian calls on as we can. Fill out the question form today and get ready to Call for Help, Australia!

Podcast Error

Something munged the KFI podcast and showed hour two of 2/13 as missing. It's not. I apologize for the confusion. I've removed Feedburner from the loop. There's no need to update your podcast client - the address remains http://leoville.tv/podcasts/kfi. Update: it's not Feedburner's fault - apologies. It seems to have something to do with Coral - the P2P caching servers I'm using. A good podcast client should keep trying until it gets the file. Or download it directly from http://leoville-downloads.com/airchecks/20050213-2.mp3. As always, you'll find direct links to my radio show audio at http://leoville.tv/radio/pmwiki.php/Main/AudioArchives - sorry about all this. Just remember podcasting is a new medium and there are still some kinks to be worked out. After further investigation, it appears that Coral received a 404 (file missing error) from my server when it first requested the file. The 404 was cached and propagated to all the other Coral servers. Michael Freedman, Mr. Coral, is going to fix it so servers only cache 404s for five minutes from now on. We're helping to make Coral better! Now to figure out why my server 404ed Coral in the first place!

Murray Wood Interview

I'm going to be on the Murray Wood show on Newstalk Radio 980 CJME in Saskatoon... right now! UPDATE: The podcast is now up (album art included). Or listen in the player to my left.
