Talking Voices Ireland

online digital version of the eircom broadband magazine summer edition has a cover story and inner 3 page spread on podcasting. read it here. On a critical note the content could have been written in Aberdeen for all the content is UK focused plus none of the links in the ten listed are Irish. Published by Ashville for Eircom I think it could have looked a lot more local unless I can’t see the big picture and Eircom is expanding to the UK? While I know from my logs Ashville read this blog (every page last month) they missed the Irish slant on the podcast story here keep scratching your head Ricky.

Dirty Dave makes random phone calls from Twenty Major’s gaff in Dublin, while the rss file does not carry an explicit tag <itunes:explicit> the iTunes directory is flagging the cast as explicit. Of high production quality, Dave is getting the best out of garageband, he might invest in a telephone hybrid, once the ad men notice that Twenty’s cast in in the top 25 of the comedy section.

EP 2. Dirty Dave calls up a number of pizza restaurants and asks them if he can put his own ingredient on a Hawaiian pizza. The ingredient is slices of cured snake meat. Surely they’ll all say no…

[Dublin, 30th May 2006] The IIA Congress, which took place in Dublin on the 25th May, is now available to global audiences through the medium of Podcasting. The conference podcasts, which were produced by doop.ie - a leading Irish podcast service company, where sponsored by Microsoft.

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription. Users can listen to podcasts from their PCs or using Ipods, Mp3 players and mobile phones with built in Mp3 functionality. In 2006 the Irish business community have begun to engage in the medium of podcasting as a communication tool. Events and conferences are the perfect vehicle for podcasting as it delivers highly compelling content to an audience who are not in a position to attend the event due to time or distance constraints.

Brian Greene podcaster with doop.ie said “While podcasting events allows many who could not attend hear or see the event at a future time of their choosing it also allows attendees and speakers replay the event for themselves or for colleagues. It also acts as a perfect archive of the event. Podcasting extends the sponsorship opportunities and allows for interviews and vox pops, further engaging speakers, experts in attendance and conferences sponsors.”

Commenting, Fergal O’Bryne, IIA CEO said “The IIA recently undertook to podcast as many events as possible. They engaged the services of doop.ie to provide a full suite of services to enable the recording, editing, production and distribution of these podcasts. As a showcase event the recent Annual Congress was the first full day event to be podcast by the IIA. Held in the Killiney Castle Hotel the event featured speakers from Google, MSN, Yahoo, eBay, Kennys.ie and Bebo. The congress was sold out. doop.ie provided full podcasts of all the events and also a vox pop from a selection of delegates. The IIA intends podcasting as many events as possible and will continue to develop this area. The podcast for the IIA Congress was kindly sponsored by Microsoft.”

The conference podcasts can be accessed at the IIA website,

Many would-be music podcasters are in a bind because of licensing problems which prevent the use of copyrighted material. There are moves afoot by various industry bodies to bring in a special podcast licence. In the meantime, most podcasters can get around this by using either copyright-free material or featuring a very large amount of unsigned bands.
……
There are also a few Irish music podcasts worth checking out. We like the Phantom FM podcast, and the recently launched New Music Ireland podcast is doing very well with its focus on rising Irish acts, although we could do without less of the overbearing presenter.
