Podcast Ep5 – Now in iTunes

Lee — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 15:11:54 +0000

Episode 5 is finally here and it’s chock full of news and as always differening opinion as always.
In this episode we discuss the progress that’s been made on the chimney (finally), wall pin, cow shed and even the roofers turned up! To cap off what was to become a Monty Python-esq encounter there’s even a French Architect in there for good measure. Enjoy this one..

Podcast Ep4 – Now in iTunes

Lee — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:09:35 +0000

Episode 4 is now live, and in stark contrast with Episode 3 we are actually really positive about what we have achieved. This episode really shows the importance of stopping and look at what you have “actually” achieved and not at my frustrations about what “hasn’t” been done.

For those downloading in iTunes this is a very much of an enhanced podcast with lots of pictures of the things we have achieved but for those of you who don’t listen in iTunes you can still enjoy the images from what we talk about in the episode by going to the GALLERY section.

Podcast Ep3 – Now in iTunes

Lee — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 09:30:26 +0000

There are two podcasts coming this weekend to make up for it plus an extra audio-post all available from iTunes. The editing on the first one is a little rough and ready, it’s surprising how quickly you forget the editing basics

Episode 3 podcast covers

Why the delay
Waiting for quotes
A book recommendation

Embedded audio now live!

Lee — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 09:04:12 +0000

This is for all the people that have requested a different way to listen to the podcast and audio posts we have started to produce.

What we’ve done is now made an mp3 streaming version available at the end of each post (example below). This mp3 stream will play straight from your browser just click the play icon.

At present these streams are only available to listen to online and not available for download but these will be available soon for you to add to your Zune, MP3 player, phone etc etc for you non iTunes users. It’s also noting that the iTunes podcasts are “enhanced” with artwork, links and chapters which isn’t available on the embedded version.

Also you’ll now notice that the “AUDIO” page at the top of the blog now has been populated. This is going to be a consolidation area for our audio streams, so if you think you’ve missed something or just want a 1 stop page to get to all our audio then THIS PAGE is it.

Podcast Ep2 – Now in iTunes

Lee — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 07:36:03 +0000

It’s London Marathon day in London so we did what all sensible Londoners do and that’s LEAVE LONDON

So we used the time in the quiet countryside to record episode 2 of the Montpillard.com Podcast where we talk about our process of finding and buying the house.

This Podcast is a little longer at 15 minutes but there is a fair bit to cover. We are getting the hang of this and the quality is improving and there are less “errrms” than before but we are still working on it.

Episode #2 is now live in iTunes, so either subscribe HERE (iTunes link), or go direct to the current episode HERE

We discussed the websites we used and the mortgage options very briefly in this episode and those links will appear here shortly and Dawn will be doing a full write-up of the mortgages we looked at.

Podcast Ep1 – Now in iTunes

Lee — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:45:29 +0000

WE DID IT!

Episode #1 is now available in iTunes (link) for you to download and it’s already getting downloaded at rate i just had to “top up” on bandwidth with our current ISP

So being episode 1 it’ll be a little rough around the edges and this one really just introduces ourselves, the house, the area and why we purchased where we did. The Podcast is 10 minutes long and this is the maximum time we want to keep these at as the idea is not to have some long 45 minute rambling Podcast but some quick, concise & info packed Podcasts for you.

As for now we have no show notes for you but going forward when we talk about products, suppliers or services we’ll be detailing them in the post related to the Epispode. The episodes will be coming thick and fast over the next few weeks so make sure you hit the subscribe button in iTunes.

Misc Info
Recorded on Zoom H4N
Processed in GarageBand

It’s Arrived!

Lee — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:17:37 +0000

Finally after weeks of customs delays, parcel force loses and sitting on my hands today the Zoom H4N finally arrived! I’m dying to try it out so brace yourself for some very rough and ready recordings, the actually podcasts will come a little later when i know what i’m doing with it.

With the Grand Designs show coming up in a week we’ll be taking it with us to get some interviews with suppliers that we have lined up. Top on the hit list are Velux who we have a meeting with, also the guys from http://www.rainwaterharvesting.co.uk/ to clear up the myths of rain water harvesting.

So we are very very nearly there…
