Virtual Cash, Congo and Podcasts

You can listen back to the segment here. Thanks to all those in our twitter group who helped us with stories. Tonight we featured:

• Engadget's trouble with Apple


• Boingboing names a jumbo


• Beruit based blogger Jamal Ghosn talks about the situation in Lebanon and the latest bombing in Beruit


• Ian Betteridge tells us why he, and quite a few other bloggers, were unhappy with media coverage of the alleged risks of wifi particularly as it was reported in the recent Panorama - (thanks Suw!)


• Wildlifedirect told us about about a Mai Mai militia attack on park rangers protecting a gorilla sanctuary


• Blogger Fijian Black spoke about the fear stalking the Fijian blogosphere following a recent crack-down by the military government


• The Potential risks of money laundering in Virtual Worlds with Steven Philippsohn, Chairman of the Fraud Advisory Panel's Cyber crime Working Group and David Grundy of Northumbria University's Newcastle Business School
  
• A round up of British Podcasts from Dean Whitbread. The clips we played wereThe Alternative Kitchen Garden, Little Histories (bats), Janet Parkinson, Bob Cartwright. Mentions too of John Buckley and Citizen Scoop, The Contrast Podcast and I'll plug from our twitter group Sassy Science because you can never have too much science.

That was it. Quick note of thanks to Suzy Byrne of Irishelection.com for taking the time to chat and to Henry Jenkins for his thoughts about fan fiction, more on both soon. Suggestions always welcome & more pods please. Radio and podcasts are friends who don't meet-up often enough

UPDATE: "Dead Whitbread" has now been resurrected. We did spot the typo but MT was being so slow I gave up. Thanks to DEAN for his understanding, apparently he and The Dead Artist had a great time hanging out anyway.
