MY NEW PODCAST.

Trekkygeek · June 29, 2009, 01:26:16 PM

Hi guys.
Ever since I started listening to Ricos show all that time ago, I always wanted to put something out there myself but never had any ideas for a subject. Until now.

I am in love with my ipod Touch and I am always downloading applications onto it and I spend far too many hours playing about with them. I decided that I could review these apps. in a short weekly podcast. Nothing flashy, very cheap and totally amateur.

Armed with Audacity for recording, Podbean for hosting, and a cheap (but surprisingly good) headpiece I thought I could do this. So I came up with the idea for "Appytimes."

This is a podcast about free and cheap applications for the ipod Touch, specifically the Ipod (although these apps. can also be used on iphone.) One take, no editing. Each week I'll take one application (be it a game or a tool) and I'll give a brief description, itunes rating and my own review on it. No application will cost more than a couple of quid unless something special come up.

I am posting my announcement here a couple of days before I announce it on Twitter. Treks In Sci-Fi has been so good for me and Rico started me on this love of podcasting, and I'd love to share my show with you guys first.

Any comments or suggestions or even criticisms are welcome here. I'd love you to check out the link below or you can search itunes for Appytimes in the store.
I look forward to receiving your thoughts.

One app a week for five or ten minutes sounds like exactly what I want to hear. I've never picked up any of the longer iPhone specific shows - just not going to spend an hour a week on that when there's Sci-Fi stuff to listen to.

Count me in!

Thank you Mike. This was something I noticed when I came up with this idea. I listen to many many podcasts and most of them are a little long. A short weekly podcast was what I wanted to go for. I used "Tech Five" as inspiration for the short length. And besides, the idea of doing a longer show on my own is too scary.

I'll be subscribing mate, welcome to the podcasting world. I don't have a iphone yet but seriously thinking about it so i'd welcome a podcast telling me all about apps etc etc. :-)

Great Job Tim, enjoyed your first two podcasts. My Wife has an Ipod Touch, so your podcast will give me some good ideas for apps to download. Looking forward to your future podcasts.

I am really digging your podcast Tim. I've listened to some of your programs more than a few times! Your humor and informtion rocks my world. I even did a little segment on your podcast in mine coming up this weekend. AWESOME!

I have to say that "Crappy Appy's" is my fave. :)

But I will, even though I shouldn't =)

Thats the problem I have. Tim tells me every week about something I can't have!! :(

I still loves it though. Loves it enough to make it a "Podcast Of The Week"

Appytimes is still going strong but expect the ratings to take a nosedive this week ;)

The episode's a good one, RSS Player is a great app but yours truly as a host? Average :D

Oh great! Now I got you telling me what I can't have too!! :)

I hold you responsible for this Morris...

'Words with Friends' is an addictive scrabble-type words and letters game played via a server somewhere. Curses! I'm hooked!

I love it.

I think my wife and play this more often than talk these days! ;)
