For those of you new to the blog, I’m not only a writer but the Digital Producer for if:book Australia (the institute for the future of the book). At if:book we (Simon Groth, if:book manager and myself) have been putting together a fortnightly podcast on the future of the book discussing projects, cool stuff we found on the internet and start-ups.
It’s a quick (30mins) light-hearted podcast that is worth a listen to (if I do say so myself!). You can find the first two episodes below, and for those of you who are inclined to subscribe the RSS feed is now working and for those using iTunes, it’s there too.
if:book Australia Podcast 1: Cast Your Pod to the Wind
The first podcast from if:book Australia features Simon Groth and myself discussing the Jeff Sparrow’s ‘On Not Writing’, latest essay from if:book’s series The N00bz, a preview of the upcoming event ‘Memory Makes Us’ with Kate Pullinger, and a discussion of BitLit, a new Canadian startup that promises to convert your print library to digital.

if:book Australia Podcast 2: All Your Pods Are Belong To Us
Episode two of the if:book Podcast is features special guest Kate Pullinger. Just prior to her role as chief memory maker, Kate sat down with if:book’s Simon Groth and myself to anticipate what might happen when writing live before an audience for Memory Makes Us. We also catch up with her thoughts on writing for digital narratives and transmedia projects.
Our regular review of Stuff We Found On The Internet picks apart the US Department of Justice’s case against Apple and the implications (such as they are) for the recent verdict in the DOJ’s favour.
Links to the stuff we talk about in this episode are:
