04:40.640 --> 04:44.000 Coming to you from the Curry Cottage in actually a rainy 04:44.000 --> 04:46.880 affluent suburb of Surrey, known as Guilford. 04:46.880 --> 04:48.480 Been busy. 04:48.480 --> 04:51.680 Been, well, as you know, Mr. Mom Patricia's coming home 04:51.680 --> 04:55.440 from Rotterdam later tonight from her rehearsals for 04:55.440 --> 04:59.040 strictly come dancing, as we call it here in the UK, or 04:59.120 --> 05:03.520 dancing with the stars in the rest of the world. 05:03.520 --> 05:07.680 Last night was a late one for me and other folks in the UK 05:07.680 --> 05:10.160 office because we had our monthly management meeting, which, of 05:10.160 --> 05:13.120 course, means we all dial in video through iChat or Skype 05:13.120 --> 05:18.080 video, multitude of protocols and formats and systems. 05:18.080 --> 05:22.160 And it was very good, of course, but around 130, I definitely 05:22.160 --> 05:25.920 started to fade and Christine was coughing all night. 05:25.920 --> 05:27.040 That's that's that flu, man. 05:27.040 --> 05:30.000 That's exactly what I had a month ago, and I'm just not 05:30.000 --> 05:31.520 getting over it. 05:31.520 --> 05:36.160 And you know, on top of all that, her knee, I remember she 05:36.160 --> 05:39.120 dislocated her knee about four months ago during a field day, 05:39.120 --> 05:41.680 or sport day, as they call it here. 05:41.680 --> 05:46.560 And actually it was doing quite well as she and Patricia 05:46.560 --> 05:48.480 been to the gym a couple of times. 05:48.480 --> 05:51.360 She was thinking about doing some more horseback riding. 05:51.360 --> 05:58.640 And I think a week ago during PE and school, she 05:58.640 --> 06:00.160 heard her knee again. 06:00.160 --> 06:02.400 And now it's swollen, and it's quite swollen. 06:02.400 --> 06:06.000 So I took her to the doctor this morning. 06:06.000 --> 06:09.200 And a doctor said, well, there could be a piece of 06:09.200 --> 06:11.040 cartilage that is roaming around there. 06:11.040 --> 06:13.840 And of course, it, you know, gets jarred loose and floats into 06:13.840 --> 06:16.640 other places and it can hurt and can irritate and you need to have an 06:16.640 --> 06:18.960 MRI scan. 06:18.960 --> 06:20.080 That's no big deal. 06:20.080 --> 06:25.520 Now, in the UK, they have a national health care system, 06:25.520 --> 06:26.880 the NHS. 06:26.880 --> 06:29.280 I think it stands for National Health Care Service 06:29.280 --> 06:29.760 or system. 06:29.760 --> 06:30.160 I don't know. 06:30.160 --> 06:32.560 But it's nationalized health care. 06:32.560 --> 06:35.200 Which, of course, comes with good and comes with bad. 06:35.200 --> 06:40.080 The good, seemingly, is that you get free health care, just about 06:40.080 --> 06:44.080 anyone under 16 gets free medication. 06:44.080 --> 06:47.280 If you have to buy medication and you're over 16, I think there's a 06:47.280 --> 06:49.920 cap on what you can pay, like five pounds, essentially 06:49.920 --> 06:52.400 10 bucks no matter what the prescription is. 06:52.400 --> 06:56.000 That's kind of your copay, which is obviously quite low. 06:56.000 --> 06:59.520 So, you know, that is without doubt the good news. 06:59.520 --> 07:02.400 Of course, anyone in the UK listening to this show will say, 07:02.400 --> 07:04.320 oh, but it's a crap system, it's bankrupt. 07:04.320 --> 07:07.520 But of course, because it's nationalized and everyone's sharing 07:07.520 --> 07:10.880 the resources often people die unnecessarily. 07:10.880 --> 07:13.200 That's just the way it goes. 07:13.200 --> 07:16.960 But at least, I think the majority of people are enjoying the 07:16.960 --> 07:18.000 benefits. 07:18.000 --> 07:22.080 Now, you certainly can understand that with Patricia's 07:22.080 --> 07:26.800 cardiac condition, I have private insurance as well. 07:26.800 --> 07:30.800 And that private insurance, of course, is for the entire family, 07:30.800 --> 07:32.880 and it's quite comprehensive, it's very expensive insurance. 07:32.880 --> 07:36.720 By the way, every single pod show employee has medical insurance, 07:36.720 --> 07:40.640 has health benefits, including dental benefits. 07:40.640 --> 07:44.240 And every company that I've built, and certainly the ones that 07:44.240 --> 07:47.040 run and I've done together, that's always been something where 07:47.040 --> 07:49.680 we're very, very keen on is making sure that everyone is properly 07:49.680 --> 07:55.200 insured and can be healthy. 07:55.200 --> 07:59.360 So, when the doctor said, well, Christina needs an MRI, I said, 07:59.360 --> 08:03.360 well, how long can we get one? 08:03.360 --> 08:06.800 She said, well, you know, it could be two weeks or whatever. 08:06.800 --> 08:09.280 And the kids in pain, you know, just so you know, I'm more than 08:09.280 --> 08:11.680 happy to pay for it privately, because I know that I can 08:11.680 --> 08:14.480 declare that from my insurance. 08:14.480 --> 08:16.720 If you think that will speed things long, she said, oh, yeah, 08:16.720 --> 08:18.320 well, I'll pass that along. 08:18.320 --> 08:20.960 So, we barely even got home in the hospital calls. 08:20.960 --> 08:23.520 Yes, calling for Christina's MRI. 08:23.520 --> 08:25.920 And, you know, do you have health insurance? 08:25.920 --> 08:27.520 Yeah, but it's based in the Netherlands. 08:27.520 --> 08:29.920 So, I'll have to declare that and get the money back. 08:29.920 --> 08:31.280 So, you know, I got to pay him up front. 08:31.280 --> 08:34.640 It's 500 pounds, 1000 bucks for an MRI. 08:34.640 --> 08:36.320 And I said, well, you know, how quick can you get us? 08:36.320 --> 08:39.520 Then she said, well, you know, any time today, if you like, I said, well, 08:39.520 --> 08:41.520 I thought it was really busy. 08:41.520 --> 08:44.720 Because that is certainly the impression I got from, 08:44.800 --> 08:48.000 from the doctor who, of course, wanted to send us through the, 08:48.000 --> 08:49.760 the, the national health care system. 08:49.760 --> 08:52.560 Just, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we've got plenty of spots open today. 08:52.560 --> 08:56.080 You know, almost any time this week, you know, and whenever you want to. 08:56.080 --> 09:00.000 And so, it struck me that, you know, there is a huge disconnect there with the 09:00.000 --> 09:02.960 health care system, because clearly the resources are there. 09:02.960 --> 09:06.320 And this, you know, people always complain about having to wait. 09:06.320 --> 09:07.920 And I basically do the same thing. 09:07.920 --> 09:09.120 She, I don't want to wait two weeks. 09:09.120 --> 09:12.960 Kids in pain if she needs an operation to remove cartilage, then we've got to get this 09:13.840 --> 09:15.840 movement. 09:15.840 --> 09:21.840 But I think what happens is the national health care system probably buys a block of time, 09:21.840 --> 09:24.560 because they use the same MRI machine. 09:24.560 --> 09:29.680 I, I omitted that piece of my explanation, because it's very expensive equipment. 09:29.680 --> 09:31.360 So there's, it's kind of a time share. 09:31.360 --> 09:34.720 But I guess the only bite in blocks were very small blocks. 09:34.720 --> 09:40.160 And, you know, and this is where it breaks down for me, because everyone who's in line for an MRI 09:40.320 --> 09:44.960 is going to get the MRI, whether it takes a day, a week, or a month, or a year. 09:44.960 --> 09:47.760 Eventually, they will get the MRI. 09:47.760 --> 09:52.480 So to me, it seems like you're going to be paying the money anyway as the national health care provider. 09:52.480 --> 09:54.880 You know, why not buy a bigger block of time? 09:56.160 --> 09:59.920 If you, and I'm sure that comes down to the actual accounting of how it all works. 09:59.920 --> 10:03.920 And maybe politicians sit in, in parliament and say, look, we're going to get to everybody 10:03.920 --> 10:05.120 eventually. 10:05.120 --> 10:07.920 So why don't we just spread the cost out over more years? 10:08.000 --> 10:14.160 Could be, but it was just, to me, it was, you know, almost flabbergasting that here's this resource 10:14.160 --> 10:14.960 sitting there. 10:14.960 --> 10:21.520 And if we go through the national health care system, which has to pay for it anyway, you have to 10:21.520 --> 10:24.080 wait, even though it's just sitting there idle, not doing anything. 10:24.080 --> 10:28.320 You basically eating a wattage from from being in low power state or whatever the 10:28.320 --> 10:29.280 held these things do. 10:29.280 --> 10:31.680 So, uh, interesting. 10:33.760 --> 10:36.240 Good old ducto called in through the voicemail line. 10:36.240 --> 10:41.120 That would, of course, be the UK voicemail line number, which I want to kind of program that 10:41.120 --> 10:42.320 went into your memory as well. 10:42.320 --> 10:43.520 So feel free to assume. 10:57.520 --> 11:00.240 Remember, add the plus for extra savings. 11:00.240 --> 11:04.400 You're just, make it functional on your mobile no matter where you are in the world. 11:06.240 --> 11:10.800 So here's the, you see the sparkers when they show, so that's noise. 11:10.800 --> 11:16.080 And so I really know these buses and love that song you, uh, open the show is. 11:18.080 --> 11:21.360 I don't know if it's echoed, but fast, or buses, if you call them. 11:21.360 --> 11:24.800 And in Scotland, and I think in some sort of thing, then sucks fast. 11:24.800 --> 11:29.520 And that's the type of cheapest, if you're blind, I don't even know what it is. 11:30.640 --> 11:32.800 The minted fruit for some sort. 11:33.040 --> 11:36.400 But it's cheapest, cheap, cheap, you get, and you see, uh, 11:36.400 --> 11:41.040 poppers of it, get to the round the trains late at night, aren't you, ladies, and seen that. 11:41.040 --> 11:45.760 And it's also a favourite with, uh, you know, um, the same kind of people who's, 11:45.760 --> 11:48.080 jinx tenants, or such and fruit. 11:48.080 --> 11:52.320 Um, anyway, I sure have a great funny, a band called Buckfast. 11:52.320 --> 11:53.280 Okay, bye. 11:54.000 --> 11:54.960 Well, there you go. 11:54.960 --> 11:56.080 Learn something again. 11:56.080 --> 11:56.880 Buckfast. 11:56.880 --> 11:57.360 Yeah. 11:57.360 --> 12:02.320 Bravo uniform Charlie Kilo, Fox start Alpha Sierra Tango, Buckfast, Buckfast. 12:02.640 --> 12:03.920 Buckfast. 12:03.920 --> 12:04.720 Yeah. 12:04.720 --> 12:06.000 I got to get me a bottle of that. 12:06.000 --> 12:08.880 Is that a brand name or is that the actual type of liquor? 12:08.880 --> 12:12.800 And, and Joe, a doctor, call me from somewhere quiet. 12:12.800 --> 12:13.600 Next time, will you? 12:13.600 --> 12:16.960 I hated, you're always calling me from the bus or on the street. 12:16.960 --> 12:18.960 What castle won't let you call from the house? 12:18.960 --> 12:20.400 Are you embarrassed that you're calling me? 12:21.440 --> 12:22.720 Come on, baby. 12:22.720 --> 12:23.600 I don't want to hear you. 12:23.600 --> 12:24.640 That's such a sweet voice. 12:26.560 --> 12:31.840 You know, I've been, uh, on the, uh, window side of the personal computing equation 12:31.920 --> 12:37.840 for quite some time now, uh, being a lifelong Mac guy just totally got fed up with all the hardware 12:37.840 --> 12:41.200 failures couldn't deal with it couldn't live with the in unreliability. 12:42.400 --> 12:46.720 And so I've been using windows and actually, uh, friend of mine last night said, uh, hey, 12:46.720 --> 12:48.640 you know, do you miss the Mac? 12:48.640 --> 12:53.280 Because I was, uh, actually, uh, using the Mac for, uh, for the I chat for the, for the conference, 12:53.280 --> 12:54.640 uh, for the management meeting. 12:55.360 --> 12:57.120 I said, you know, when I sit behind the Mac and of course, 12:57.120 --> 12:59.440 I don't have, uh, a Mac book pro. 12:59.440 --> 13:06.160 I have a G4, which, uh, oh, only, uh, a year ago with state of the art, 17 incher, uh, which, of course, 13:06.160 --> 13:09.840 has been repaired and come back and other batteries crap, you know, the batteries fully charged, 13:09.840 --> 13:12.800 you unplug it, you use it for 10 minutes batteries completely dead. 13:12.800 --> 13:16.400 So that's how I received my power book back from Apple. 13:16.400 --> 13:18.640 I sent it off with a good battery as far as I can recall. 13:18.640 --> 13:19.840 Maybe this is their safety measure. 13:20.400 --> 13:23.920 It's probably one of those batteries that blow up so they just make sure it doesn't work anymore. 13:24.000 --> 13:30.320 Um, and then I was thinking, you know, do I miss anything, uh, of the Mac on Windows? 13:30.320 --> 13:33.600 And besides some of the display things, the Mac is really, it's just slower. 13:33.600 --> 13:37.600 I know the MacBook Pro is probably on par with my via dual core, etc. 13:37.600 --> 13:41.520 So I'm not going to say that's a real comparison, but I really don't miss anything. 13:41.520 --> 13:43.520 Some things do just work simpler and better. 13:44.080 --> 13:48.400 Um, not know, not even better, but just simpler to configure things, you know, 13:49.360 --> 13:55.040 less steps, more intuitive, but once you kind of understand, uh, Windows and you've got it down, 13:55.040 --> 13:57.360 it's no problem whatsoever at all. 13:57.360 --> 14:02.240 And of course I got rid of that stupid, um, uh, 14:02.240 --> 14:06.160 tele-tubbies background that XP comes with by default. 14:06.160 --> 14:07.200 I don't know if something is that. 14:08.000 --> 14:10.400 I put a nice OSX background in. 14:12.800 --> 14:16.880 Um, for some reason, and I don't know if there was a Windows update, 14:16.960 --> 14:22.640 that's another thing I don't really like, um, you know, sometimes that you turn it off and say, 14:22.640 --> 14:27.040 you know, don't reboot and do shit without me saying it's okay. 14:27.040 --> 14:30.000 And sometimes it just does it anyway when it's a critical system update. 14:31.280 --> 14:36.720 Um, but now when I open up dialogs within an application. 14:36.720 --> 14:40.240 So let me just use cast blasters the example, because that's where it's most irritating. 14:41.120 --> 14:44.320 Um, so it'll open up a, you know, so you say, okay, I'm going to add a file to cast blaster. 14:44.400 --> 14:45.680 It opens up a dialog box. 14:45.680 --> 14:46.560 So not a folder. 14:46.560 --> 14:47.680 The folders are okay. 14:48.640 --> 14:55.360 But in a dialog box now, it opens up and it is in the pretty much the default, 14:55.360 --> 14:57.120 which is sorted by name. 14:57.120 --> 14:58.880 And I want it in detail mode. 14:58.880 --> 15:03.360 So I can see, you know, um, file size, et cetera, any other information. 15:03.680 --> 15:07.200 And I want it listed by date, uh, last modified. 15:07.200 --> 15:11.280 And I want the most recent modified files, which is the ones I just put into that folder, 15:11.280 --> 15:12.560 because that's how I prep my show. 15:12.640 --> 15:13.600 I want them to be on top. 15:13.600 --> 15:16.080 So I don't have to go hunting around for stuff that I've just added. 15:17.600 --> 15:22.640 And, you know, so I'll, I'll set it and it takes two clicks for set it to details. 15:22.640 --> 15:23.840 Then it takes three clicks. 15:23.840 --> 15:25.120 Then click on date modified. 15:25.120 --> 15:28.800 Click on date modified again so that it sorts from, uh, most recent at the top. 15:29.360 --> 15:31.760 Select the file, uh, click okay. 15:31.760 --> 15:32.480 And I'm good. 15:32.480 --> 15:33.600 And then I do it again. 15:33.600 --> 15:36.480 And it opens up in the same default mode. 15:36.480 --> 15:37.600 And I've tried everything. 15:37.600 --> 15:40.240 I've tried opening up the dialog box and set the properties. 15:40.720 --> 15:42.160 You know, I say, sort this way. 15:42.160 --> 15:43.440 It just, it won't stick. 15:44.000 --> 15:44.800 I don't get it. 15:44.800 --> 15:47.280 And that is really frustrating. 15:47.680 --> 15:51.200 Please, if you can help me on that, it will be greatly appreciated. 15:51.200 --> 15:53.280 I think I'm doing everything right. 15:54.160 --> 15:56.640 Um, in fact, let me just do it right now while we're here together. 15:56.640 --> 15:58.000 So I'm going to open up. 15:59.040 --> 15:59.440 Okay. 15:59.440 --> 16:03.120 So it's opened up my DSC-bin folder. 16:03.680 --> 16:04.880 And it's listed now. 16:04.880 --> 16:06.480 It's in, uh, what mode is it in? 16:06.480 --> 16:07.680 It's in list mode. 16:08.320 --> 16:10.240 And it's sorted by name. 16:11.120 --> 16:15.280 Uh, I can see because it has the folders at the top and then it starts with the one 16:15.280 --> 16:18.400 o one o one o one and then pretty soon it gets to a. 16:19.120 --> 16:20.640 Now I'm going to go to details mode. 16:21.440 --> 16:22.960 And I can see date modified. 16:22.960 --> 16:27.920 Of course, I have to expand the dialog box because date modified is the third one to the right. 16:28.800 --> 16:30.000 Click on date modified. 16:30.000 --> 16:31.200 Click on it again. 16:31.200 --> 16:32.880 And so now I can actually add something. 16:32.880 --> 16:36.880 So let me just add something here. 16:37.760 --> 16:40.080 Okay. Now I'm going to do it again. 16:40.080 --> 16:41.680 I open up boom. 16:41.680 --> 16:42.960 It's in default mode again. 16:42.960 --> 16:44.480 It's very, very frustrating. 16:44.480 --> 16:51.120 And then, you know, so when you open up and then you right click, there's like properties 16:51.120 --> 16:54.560 and properties gives me sharing, customized. 16:54.560 --> 16:55.120 That's all. 16:56.400 --> 16:59.280 Then do anything for me advanced. 16:59.280 --> 17:01.680 God, this is the stuff that I really hate about Windows. 17:01.680 --> 17:03.200 Okay, okay, that's not it. 17:04.000 --> 17:05.360 Please help me out. 17:05.360 --> 17:06.480 Can't you help a brother, huh? 17:07.280 --> 17:11.120 I really want to understand how this works because it wasn't doing this before. 17:11.120 --> 17:12.240 Something changed. 17:12.240 --> 17:14.000 And then, I don't know. 17:15.120 --> 17:22.320 So Windows is successfully added over three clicks per part of my daily routine. 17:23.200 --> 17:24.000 I'm liking that. 17:25.840 --> 17:27.600 Hello, they spirit is coming my friends. 17:27.600 --> 17:30.720 Steve Webb here, host of the Life Spring Family of podcast. 17:31.360 --> 17:35.280 Beginning on December 1st, the Life Spring Advent calendar will make its debut. 17:35.680 --> 17:39.120 Together with James Cooper of the WhyChristmas.com website, 17:39.120 --> 17:43.600 a brand new Life Spring member will begin that will enhance your Christmas season. 17:44.000 --> 17:46.800 Each day from December 1st until Christmas, 17:46.800 --> 17:51.280 James and I will be talking about Christmas traditions from around the world and helping you to 17:51.280 --> 17:53.600 focus on the real reason for the season. 17:53.840 --> 17:58.640 We'll discover how many of our traditions began like the exchanging of Christmas cards, 17:58.640 --> 18:02.480 bringing trees into our homes, and the singing of Christmas carols. 18:02.640 --> 18:06.880 And of course, we'll talk about the very first Christmas gift, the birth of Jesus. 18:07.440 --> 18:12.400 If you love Christmas like I do, I think you're going to love the new Life Spring Advent calendar. 18:12.400 --> 18:16.000 You can get the show at advent.podshow.com. 18:16.000 --> 18:19.360 James and I are excited to bring you these very special new shows. 18:19.360 --> 18:24.240 Come join us for the Life Spring Advent calendar from the Life Spring Family of podcasts 18:24.240 --> 18:25.760 and WhyChristmas.com. 18:29.760 --> 18:30.160 Nice. 18:31.040 --> 18:32.560 Advent.podshow.com. 18:32.560 --> 18:36.960 I would mind knowing why we exchanged gifts and why we bring trees into our house. 18:38.480 --> 18:40.080 I'm going to it right now, Advent. 18:40.080 --> 18:44.320 Of course, it is automatically switched now to advent.btpodshow.com. 18:44.320 --> 18:47.200 Which is kind of cool. We can finally got that working. 18:47.200 --> 18:50.480 That was also a source of some of the feeds messing up. 18:50.480 --> 18:55.360 Is this the kind of the digital version of... 18:56.480 --> 18:59.520 Remember you had, I don't know if you still have the calendars and on December 1st, 18:59.520 --> 19:03.680 you get to open a window and there's a little thing behind it and then all the way through to the 19:04.240 --> 19:09.280 25th. Let's see each day from December 1st, they'll Christmas. James and Steve will be talking 19:09.280 --> 19:11.360 about Christmas for today. I'm going to get this show. 19:17.360 --> 19:24.240 So let me get this show. Get it and I'm going to add it to, which led to, I got a channel here. 19:24.240 --> 19:30.480 I've got my on the go. Here we go. On the go. It has no episodes yet, but... 19:32.640 --> 19:37.120 I'll be ready for when they do come up. Cool. Most excellence, Steve. 19:38.560 --> 19:43.360 Christian Leonard says, Adam, in case someone is making notes about where splendid is distributed, 19:43.360 --> 19:47.120 yesterday I spotted it on the shelves, then to shop here in Norway. I don't drink coffee. 19:47.120 --> 19:51.040 I don't drink tea and I otherwise have no use for an artificial sweetener. However, 19:51.040 --> 19:55.600 being confident about the fact that I could probably use it in some way or other, I bought a box. 19:55.600 --> 20:00.720 I now have a large box of splendor on my shelf and no idea on how to use it. 20:00.720 --> 20:06.560 But every time I hear splendid mention, well, I look over it and say myself long lines, 20:06.560 --> 20:12.000 well, now why the hell did I buy this? I can say one thing for sure. If I ever find a way to use it 20:12.000 --> 20:17.280 and get a regular use for sweetener, I'll be using splendor and thinking of the DSC every time I do. 20:21.040 --> 20:40.880 I had some in here from SRAM Idol. You mentioned on a couple of shows ago that the 20:40.880 --> 20:46.320 all tracks were now able to be purchased from the podcast music network. I just checked them out. 20:46.320 --> 20:54.320 I went on to podshow.com as I do quite a lot of these days. It redirected me, 20:55.440 --> 21:01.440 so they're going to podshow.com and redirects me to btpotshow.com. I wonder whether that's something 21:01.440 --> 21:07.280 that you've got to have a new K. But if I'm going to be saying, you can still get to podshow.com. 21:07.280 --> 21:12.960 But I can't, I always get forward to btpotshow.com. Which is fair enough. It's more or less the same 21:12.960 --> 21:20.320 content and the same basis available. I was trying to find this button to buy music and I couldn't 21:20.320 --> 21:29.280 find it. I don't know whether I just can't find it or whether it's just not a feature on btpotshow.com 21:29.280 --> 21:35.680 and the podshow music tracks are only able to be purchased in the US. So if you question there, 21:35.680 --> 21:40.000 I don't, I've been interested to hear what you have to say about those. Thanks a lot, mate. Cheers. 21:40.960 --> 21:43.680 Yeah, I'm in command. You're going to tell me something. I don't know. 21:45.200 --> 21:49.920 Okay, a couple of things here. First of all, we have integrated the pod save music network 21:50.720 --> 21:56.240 into podshow.com but really the audience side of the equation. Which the pod save music network didn't 21:56.240 --> 22:01.840 do a very good job of. That was really intended for a place for artists to put their music up 22:01.840 --> 22:08.720 and for producers of podcasts and other independent programming to put them on a playlist, 22:08.720 --> 22:12.880 mark them download them and report back that they've played them. Now, we have show note links. 22:12.880 --> 22:18.640 I'm this is music.podshow.com which I'm here in the UK now. Let me just double check. I'm pretty sure 22:18.640 --> 22:27.440 that music.podshow.com just want double check. Yeah, that just results to music.podshow.com. That doesn't 22:27.440 --> 22:36.240 go to anything else. We have their links in there on each artist page. The takes you to an artist page 22:36.400 --> 22:41.680 which we call the show notes friendly link. And I just opened up a ticket for this in our 22:41.680 --> 22:46.160 system because I want this changed. So if you copy that link, which I've been doing for the, 22:46.160 --> 22:50.400 you know, even though the new podshow pluses out, I've just been kind of, you know, a creature of 22:50.400 --> 22:54.960 habit, right? You just right click that link copy it, paste it into the show notes. That will actually 22:54.960 --> 23:02.000 take the listeners to the pod save music network. The old pages where you see, you know, it's a 23:02.080 --> 23:07.840 sparse page. Let's put it that, that, you know, no recommendations. Now, the new artist pages 23:08.480 --> 23:15.120 at podshow plus include a lot more information. They include, you know, recommendations. There's 23:15.120 --> 23:21.840 a playlist that pop up all kinds of groovy stuff. And actually, I think, you know, much, you can actually 23:21.840 --> 23:25.280 get all the songs from an artist, put them in your collection and you can play them through the 23:25.280 --> 23:29.520 dashboard later if you want. There's all kinds of great stuff. But we need to change that link 23:29.520 --> 23:34.160 obviously because we want, I want my audience to go see the cool page, not the sparsely, you know, 23:34.160 --> 23:38.960 kind of hop-alongacity page that we've had for how, what is it now two years, almost. We've had the 23:38.960 --> 23:43.440 pod save music network up, something like that, two years. Yeah, getting close to two years. 23:45.280 --> 23:53.440 So that has to change. And I believe the second part of your question, Simon, is, you know, 23:53.440 --> 24:01.440 if when you do go to podshow.com slash music, any artist that has songs available for purchase, 24:01.440 --> 24:06.080 it'll show up in that little play or next to each track, it'll say buy, it'll be highlighted, 24:06.080 --> 24:13.760 if you can actually buy the track. So now there may have been some weirdness when you call this in 24:13.760 --> 24:21.680 because although it sounds pretty simple, really creating a localized version of something big, 24:21.680 --> 24:28.080 like podshow plus, it is quite complicated actually. You know, you're sniffing out where IPs are 24:28.080 --> 24:33.120 coming from and, you know, there's stuff that you that you do want to portray in the English version 24:33.120 --> 24:37.040 stuff. You don't, and of course, with it brings a whole nother set of what we put on the home page. 24:37.040 --> 24:42.160 I mean, it's a whole bunch of things going on and on that actual cutover, you know, DNS has to 24:42.160 --> 24:47.040 propagate. It's all kind of technical jargon. What I'm saying is it all sucks, but it'll fix itself. 24:47.280 --> 24:55.680 I think, so far it's working for me and the UK feeds are now also updating quite nicely. 24:55.680 --> 25:00.560 Hi Adam, I'm the manager of a band called Three Blind Mice, an aims Victoria, or sometimes I'm 25:00.560 --> 25:04.800 called the Farmers Wife. We've had some tracks available on the pod save music network for pod 25:04.800 --> 25:10.240 gasters to play for about a year now and we're really grateful for all the pod play and all the 25:10.240 --> 25:16.160 positive feedback we've received. However, we do need that pod play to translate into sales and we've 25:16.240 --> 25:20.240 heard you for the past years saying it's coming soon. It's coming soon. Soon, all artists will be 25:20.240 --> 25:25.680 able to sell tracks on the pod save music network. That's exactly how I sound. That is exactly the hype. 25:25.680 --> 25:31.040 So imagine how excited we were earlier this week to hear you say, finally, we could make 25:31.040 --> 25:36.080 our tracks available for sale directly through pod show plus. Yeah. Well, I paid off the promise 25:36.080 --> 25:40.800 didn't I? So I rushed to our artist page on the PMN to check it out and I found out the payments 25:40.800 --> 25:45.760 to artists will be made by check in US dollars. Well, with international banking charges the way 25:45.760 --> 25:50.560 they are, that means there's no point in us making tracks available for sale yet. Okay. I'm going 25:50.560 --> 25:56.400 to stop you right there. Not with that attitude, madam. Not with that attitude. What do you think 25:56.400 --> 26:00.400 you're all you're going to do is nickel and dimes off this stuff? If that's all you think you're 26:00.400 --> 26:06.160 going to do, and that's all you deserve to get. So, you know, yes, I'll let you finish your comment, 26:06.160 --> 26:09.920 but I just can't stand that attitude. We'd end up paying the bank more than we receive. 26:10.800 --> 26:15.200 What I wanted to ask you is do you know if there are any plans to make payments to UK artists 26:15.200 --> 26:20.560 via PayPal? Thanks, Adam. I don't mean to seem ungrateful, but we have waited a year. 26:21.520 --> 26:26.400 Oh, and since you asked, I'm a folder. Yeah, it's crunchier. Oh, the mood takes me. 26:27.840 --> 26:36.160 Nice voice, by the way. Mm-hmm. But before I get wrapped up in that, that's strange because, 26:37.200 --> 26:42.320 you know, we don't actually touch the money. As you know, pod show takes nothing of the sale. 26:42.480 --> 26:46.880 We have priced it competitively. If you'll, you know, each track of the pod set music now work, 26:46.880 --> 26:52.080 it should be no better or worse than anything anywhere else on Napster or iTunes. So 99 cents, 26:53.200 --> 26:58.000 industry standard, I like that. Nine cents of that goes to a company called Click and Buy. 26:58.000 --> 27:03.200 And we chose Click and Buy specifically because they deal with international payments. 27:04.800 --> 27:11.120 And I believe they're even UK based. So it makes no sense to me that they only hand out checks in 27:11.120 --> 27:15.840 US dollars. And I, of course, I totally understand what a pain in the ass that is. 27:15.840 --> 27:19.680 I still have checks here from Amazon laying around from when I had cents sale on the home page. 27:19.680 --> 27:24.000 And it lets like $1,000. I just like, I can't be bothered. You know, it can be bothered. 27:26.240 --> 27:32.400 But it makes no sense that they're not cutting checks or sending out payment in in local currency. 27:32.400 --> 27:37.520 I can understand some, well, no, I think it should be, you know, dollar should work. It should do 27:38.480 --> 27:44.160 the euro and it should do the pound. Does it do euros, by the way? Because anyway, I was quite sure 27:45.760 --> 27:51.360 that one of the main reasons we chose Click and Buy is for their international aspect. So, 27:52.400 --> 27:58.640 I shall inquire on your behalf, madam. And while we're at it, let me see if I can make up for it with 27:58.640 --> 28:01.920 a free blind mice, too. 28:03.750 --> 32:21.280 [ Music ] 32:21.280 --> 32:47.280 Here's a way while the watch's always gather up your soul from the light. 32:47.280 --> 33:13.280 The watch's always gather up your soul from the light. 33:13.280 --> 33:37.280 I will say that tracks and music have been completely commoditized through the series of tubes we call the internet. 33:37.280 --> 34:01.280 I can't tell you if I compare the time Christina has talked to me about a song or track versus the band that is playing somewhere. 34:01.280 --> 34:25.280 This is a piece of feedback about the show where we're talking about Heather Mills and if I recall correctly, 34:25.280 --> 34:40.280 I did step up a bit for Heather Mills who of course is the former Miss Lady McCartney or not even former yet because they're still married but they're in a very public messy divorce process. 34:40.280 --> 34:48.280 Which of course is made messy and ugly by the press? 34:48.280 --> 34:57.280 I think there's so many people calling in from the UK now. 34:57.280 --> 35:01.280 Just a follow-in from the last call. 35:01.280 --> 35:07.280 Just a bit about Heather McCartney or Heather Mills or whatever you want to call. 35:07.280 --> 35:13.280 She actually comes from not too far away from her. 35:13.280 --> 35:35.280 I'm going to ask her to hear the press go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. 35:35.280 --> 35:45.280 Just a funny grubber who's even behind boyfriend's back Marianne and well just a divorce together with Penny. 35:45.280 --> 35:48.280 After all, it's certainly done. 35:48.280 --> 35:57.280 It's not really up to when you're as to George but the last set up very important charity doing landmings. 35:58.280 --> 36:01.280 I'm letting you know I understand that's what you've been up to. 36:01.280 --> 36:08.280 And you know if you don't need to time and money to bury prominent causes. 36:08.280 --> 36:15.280 And I just think it's about saying that the press just back off because I honestly don't think this is coming from men's of the public. 36:15.280 --> 36:18.280 And this is the public really honestly don't give a damn. 36:19.280 --> 36:21.280 I'm not really interested. 36:21.280 --> 36:26.280 It's just probably crap in all stuff to stick on the front of your glossy magazines. 36:26.280 --> 36:28.280 Let's have a go and a little headache. 36:28.280 --> 36:31.280 Because we've got nothing better to do with our things. 36:31.280 --> 36:34.280 I'm not more like for for. 36:34.280 --> 36:38.280 I think she's a she's a canny last she's a bunny last. 36:38.280 --> 36:40.280 You know good luck. 36:40.280 --> 36:42.280 I just talk this thing doesn't get any worse for them. 36:42.280 --> 36:45.280 It's a bit of a shame the Satan people split any two people. 36:46.280 --> 36:50.280 You forgot fold or scruncher but I'll let you slide. 36:50.280 --> 36:57.280 I really appreciated that comment because you know and when Patricia was doing this as well and boy I. 36:57.280 --> 37:04.280 I'm sure she sometimes just may want to pop me over the head because I'm always the guy that says don't believe what you fucking read there. 37:04.280 --> 37:12.280 You know how many times have we been on the front page and it's something completely stupid fabricated or so far from the truth that it's just not the truth. 37:12.280 --> 37:19.280 And everyone believes it's the truth and we've definitely in our own little microcosm of the lowlands known as the Netherlands. 37:19.280 --> 37:22.280 We've had that out of control thing happened to us. 37:22.280 --> 37:24.280 It's it's not nice now. 37:24.280 --> 37:28.280 Luckily it wasn't about divorce or anything like that but it's it's horrible. 37:28.280 --> 37:36.280 And this is really nothing you can do about it and let me just say there's no difference between glossy magazines and web logs. 37:36.280 --> 37:44.280 It's human nature people like to do this and and I just keep going back to that one that one comment I should look that comment up again. 37:44.280 --> 37:47.280 The Robin and Suzanne from the inside works at me. 37:47.280 --> 37:51.280 You know it's people projecting their baggage on to you don't accept other people's baggage. 37:51.280 --> 37:59.280 Of course when it's when it's in the papers or when it's on a web log and most many people read it you know they happily accept the baggage. 37:59.280 --> 38:04.280 I'll take that because I've got some of that and in fact it goes nicely with this piece of luggage I have over here. 38:04.280 --> 38:09.280 So it just happens and you know we shouldn't be quick to judge. 38:09.280 --> 38:11.280 Absolutely. 38:11.280 --> 38:16.280 I had a whole I had a whole point to that and I was really going to go somewhere with it. 38:16.280 --> 38:18.280 Oh yes I know. 38:18.280 --> 38:22.280 This is why I love watching I'm a celebrity get me out of here. 38:22.280 --> 38:30.280 I don't know if you've seen this program I don't know if it's as successful in the United States as it is in the United Kingdom but it's big. 38:30.280 --> 38:36.280 So ITV program 8 million viewers at least that's what they had historically I don't know they just started so I don't know where they're at. 38:36.280 --> 38:48.280 But I love this because you know you you find yourself being surprised at how judgmental you are about people thinking oh this guys like this this this this woman is probably like that. 38:48.280 --> 38:59.280 And and of course there's a lot of manipulation because it is edited but in general it's a reality programming you do get to see a lot of the true people but again there's a lot of manipulation that takes place on the. 39:00.280 --> 39:11.280 The the production side literally making it more fun to watch by trumping things up which is very easy to do very very easy in video particularly. 39:11.280 --> 39:23.280 But as an example David guest is on I'm a celebrity get me out of here on the UK version he of course is known as Lysamonelli's ex and you think it would be this real slimy. 39:23.280 --> 39:31.280 Dork and he's actually got something got a vibe about him I'm really starting to to like this guy. 39:31.280 --> 39:38.280 And you know what the person who is the most shallow the most self obsessed and has the largest ego. 39:38.280 --> 39:42.280 Is a journalist who is in the jungle. 39:42.280 --> 39:46.280 She reblairs sister I forget her first name. 39:46.280 --> 39:50.280 She reblairs of course wife of the prime minister of the UK. 39:50.280 --> 40:01.280 She's horrible she really really is and and by the way David guest called her out before that even went in the jungle just when they met each other he said oh you're the. 40:01.280 --> 40:15.280 You're the person who was in the newspaper saying that I had a horrible face lift and I shouldn't stay in the sun too long because my face will melt and you know she was busted and she said oh yeah you know these were flippant remarks I shouldn't have made them and she didn't really even say I'm sorry. 40:15.280 --> 40:25.280 But you know she had also just you know just one often just said stuff because she was being interviewed for going into the jungle and there you go celebrities. 40:25.280 --> 40:29.280 You should say the journalist was more offensive. 40:29.280 --> 40:31.280 Then then. 40:31.280 --> 40:34.280 I'm getting stuck on what I'm trying to say. 40:34.280 --> 40:40.280 It just blew me away that this came from a journalist or she calls herself a journalist I have no idea if she really is a journalist. 40:40.280 --> 40:48.280 But anyway you got to watch this show it's fantastic because if you watch it kind of with an open mind and say wow I really thought this person was different than that good or bad. 40:48.280 --> 40:58.280 It's just because you really don't know someone until you actually know someone which is why I defend Madonna which is why to a certain extent I defend defend Michael Jackson. 40:58.280 --> 41:12.280 You know people who I've met and you know it's not like I hung out with them for days on end but you do get a vibe from someone when you look them in the eye your neurotransmitters are in close proximity actually making some kind of connection. 41:12.280 --> 41:17.280 You do get a different a different view about someone. 41:17.280 --> 41:21.280 What should we do well have you 41 minutes forget about it one more song. 41:21.280 --> 41:32.280 Nigel who brought Thomas Dolby on to the podcast music network keeps emailing me and says dude you haven't played this song yet and you have to. 41:32.280 --> 41:38.280 All right now I don't know problem clear but lie on your daily source code. 41:41.250 --> 44:56.250 [ Music ] 44:57.280 --> 45:17.280 I don't know I don't know I don't know. 45:17.280 --> 45:43.280 I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know. 45:43.280 --> 45:58.280 I don't know I don't listen to the slick mainstream radio anymore because you get sick of it. 45:58.280 --> 46:07.280 I don't mind it's nice to hear something that's really slickly produced. 46:07.280 --> 46:23.280 I have a lot of stuff happening at the Pod Show crash pad in London which of course I'm not able to attend now but I'm checking in regularly. 46:23.280 --> 46:48.280 I hope you join me because of course we'll have all the usual suspects I hope to have an 47:18.280 --> 47:26.280 and more great ones like it on the BT Pod Show media network.
