Two Schooners #036 – An Apple a day keeps the podcast away!

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 12:04:58 +0000

Guys really sorry for the delay on Episode 36, recorded at Easter. I bought a Mac, and during the episode I said to Dave (stupidly in hindsight), I've got a Mac now, so this episode will come out twice as fast. Famous last words. My brand new, one-month old Mac died during the edit, and went into Apple Support to be fixed. Two long weeks later they replaced my Mac, and thankfully recovered the show from my hard disk. So today, I picked up the Mac, finished the edit and am getting it out to you. Show notes to come later. Enjoy this episode! James

Two Schooners #030 – Dust, iSnacks and Soggy Mixers

admin — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 05:04:07 +0000

In a week where you can literally taste the dust, Dave's mixer get's a taste of the liquid gold, amber courage and comes off a little worse for wear. Not as bad as the new name for Vegemite as some marketing bright-spark genius decides that 'isnack 2.0' will convince more people to eat their poo-brown concoction of processed cheese and the old Australian favourite. This is just some of the tastiest morsels simmering away at the bottom of the bag, this week, as Dave and James settle in to the bar, with an ice-cold brew for the 30th episode of 2Schooners.

Two Schooners #026 – Post Sydney Meetup Show

admin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:05:27 +0000

Dave Gray and James Williams finally meet (in person) after recording the Two Schooners podcast for seven months. They are joined by Cait from the Aussie Geek Podcast in the studio in Sydney. Together they recap the 2Schooners/Podcasters Emporium/AGP meetup in Sydney on 10 July 2009.

2Schooners co-hosts meet for the first time

admin — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:12:17 +0000

It’s rare that podcast hosts don’t have the ability to meet in person, but that’s exactly the situation that two successful Lifestyle PodNetwork co-hosts found themselves in – but that is all about to change.

In 2008, Dave Gray (a podcaster since 2006) and James Williams, founder of the Lifestyle PodNetwork decided to collaborate on a podcast project together, it was meant to be a small comedy show called Two Schooners.

While they both live in Australia, they live about 700 kilometres apart: James in Sydney and Dave on the far north coast of New South Wales. Both are keen podcasters and technology enthusiasts and so they turned to the technology to help them produce their show.

With several years of podcasting experience under their belts, the two decided on doing a weekly comedy show over Skype – what’s more, they would have never met in person. That is, until today.

The Two Schooners podcast has amazed both co-hosts since the beginning.

“We thought we’d give it a crack, and even if we only had ourselves listening it would be fun!” explained Dave Gray.

But the two were surprised at the immediate response the show received.

“The show amazed us when we had 50 listeners, and now with several hundred downloads of the show each week and many hundeds of listeners, we know it’s successful”

Whatever the formula is for these two it seems to work, and it crosses cultural boundaries as well.

“It always amazes me that two guys in Australia can be interesting to listeners from the United States, Canada, the UK and even non-english speaking countries like Belgium, Sweden and Luxemburg” said Dave Gray.

And so tonight, for the first time these two co-hosts from Australia get to meet in Sydney for the first time. Listeners of show are meeting the hosts at where else – but a pub. The Bavarian Bier Cafe, to be precise.

Well not everything can be about Australia, can it?
