Haha, I was wondering when you dingle berries were going to start doing a podzy.
So a Yank, an Arab and a Man U guy in one podcast!!!!
Sounds like the start of a great joke :D
Press play and hope for the best…… :D
I liked it !!!!! :D
BTW, did you guys speed up the sound file, or am I just getting old and slow?
Just keep the original play speed in the future.
That was fun and ended up being an excellent example of the importance TNW’s world tech perspective.
The progression of TNW has been great to watch. Truly, you guys/gals have something the majority of other tech bloggers do not or no longer have: Fearless top notch tech reporting with wit and heart.
Well done!
Nice :) Will it also be distributed via iTunes?
Great Start.Looking forward to hearing you all next week.
Hard to control that chuckle on numerous occasions!!.
It will be a weekly podcast and we’re looking at distributing it via iTunes, we’ll let you know :)
Nope, Kristin and Alex are American, Martin and myself are from UK and Fawzi is from Dubai – although he does sound quite American-ish.
pretty cool
is this a regular podcast?
if so do you have an RSS link? for the itunes-averse amongst us?
Would be interested in an rss link also, so I can load it in Google Listen on my phone and can listen to it on my way home ^_^
Isn’t that 3yanks? O_o
Great job guys! Just as Twinkle said, maybe u speed it up a little too much. Guess you really wanted to make it in 30min:)
I might sound quite American-ish.. but I sure ain’t from Dubai! I’m from Beirut, Lebanon but I live and work in Dubai.
Trust me, no speeding up in the process! First episode.. blame it on adrenaline rush :)
Oops, my bad! See Stuart, now I’m in trouble with Fawzi! :)
LMAO! 2 ‘Yanks’ and 2 ‘Mancs’ thank you :)
