You know that we spend a LOT of time producing our shows for you.

And as we aren’t making money out of advertising, we’d like to ask for your support to help us keep TPN running. We have real costs in IT support, hardware, bandwidth, etc., as well as our time and effort. For the last four years, we’ve covered these costs ourselves. Outside a small amount of advertising that we have run, the majority of TPN’s costs have been covered by our founder Cameron Reilly and the TPN hosts.

Now, we know that paying for online content is probably new to some of you. You are used to getting it for free.

However, we do ask you to think about the idea of the people funding their own media. We all know that if corporate advertising is the main source of funding for the media, it influences the kinds of media that is produced and the messages they carry. We don’t want that kind of media to be the only kind out there. We want an independent media, run by the people and for the people.

If you want to support our efforts to bring you intelligent and entertaining content, please consider one of our donation plans below:

We have five ways to support a TPN podcast:

    A once-off donation
    $2 per month subscription
    $10 per month subscription
    $20 per month subscription
    $50 per month subscription

If you’re not familiar with Paypal, don’t worry – you can use any regular credit card.

What you’re signing up for is to automatically send us $2 every month. It will automatically come out of your Paypal account or credit card. That’s $24 a year which is a lot less than you pay for 60 minutes of music on a CD or a monthly Netflix subscription.

When you are entering your information, please enter the name of the podcast you are supporting and please feel free to support every TPN podcast you listen to on a regular basis by donating multiple times.

This subscription system is totally voluntary. If you don’t want to pay or cannot afford to pay, don’t worry – you will still get access to our podcasts for free for as long as we can keep affording to produce them for you.

A once-off donation to the value of your choice (please enter the name of the podcast you are supporting):

I have had a busy week and thrown myself into this weeks show. That was a lame excuse for the lack of blogging.

In this episode I interview Loic Le Meur, the founder and CEO of seesmic. It was a fantastic interview about seesmic, video, the evolution of a start-up, marketing and everything else you might expect.

Please enjoy the GGP Number 82!

We also make a startling discovery about the Lab Rat this week, so keep your ears out for that one.

In tech news Asus is offering something new, the military get tough with Google and Nine Inch Nails; nails the record companies.

In the apps bag we have an old twitter client made new again, the holy grail of mail plus one to end it all and more.

Sites and services sees us visit the UN, do some drifting, searching forums in style and an awesome site to discover innner space.

That is not all on the show this week, keep listening for the Firefox extensions, the Mac Lab Rat and your feedback! The song this week is a ripper so make sure you take a listen.

Pressing on with one short – hope that Cait is getting better!

In Tech this week; JotSpot returns (just don’t call it a wiki), Buzz that has none, laying cable, AIR launch and another use for the PS3 and it is very cool.

Applications are great this week with one sent in from Terry to cut up files, fixing that auto run menu options and a customization app for your logon screen.

We found some awesome sites this week including some lifestreaming options and a quite well done blog directory plus heaps more.

The GGP Mac Lab Rat, Firefox extensions and the mail bag that saw us invaded. Stick around as we trial a new segment towards the end of the show. It would be great to hear what you think about it, please send us some feedback!

Mainly because I am scared that our listeners will think the opposite and I am totally wrong. But this week I am going to go out on a limb and say that I think this weeks show is awesome.

We have everything in there this week, Dave loses the plot, Cait is delusional, Keith comes out of his shell with a comedy act, Skype bombs and a listener voicemail!
We really did enjoy recording and producing this show, we hope that you get a kick out of it as well. That is all I am going to say, Just Listen!

We are joined by Special Guest, James Williams and we throw the usual format out the window. Well me made some mods.

While it was a slow week for news there was some that we managed to dredge up including some news from Microsoft, the evolution of digital music and the bright future of podcasting.

We have skipped the applications segment this week to have a round table chat about online privacy and how it might impact you in ways that you never imagined. Dave gives a unique insight to the challenge this has been for him.

We do have time to cover a great site as well in sites and services that involves watching ads. It is a cracker and not to be missed.

Please enjoy the show this week, it was a tough one to get through and totally worth while.

In applications this week we’ll look at a simple desktop sharing tool for you to help your mum with her computer and a light app that will encrypt and decrypt your files for safe keeping.

We look at some great sites and services to kick the year off such as YouTube for gamers, YouTube for thinkers and a weird mouse game that I Dave is still trying to work out.

We also have Keith, our Mac Lab Rat, joining us this week, another dose of Geek Projects as well as your much valued feedback.

Got some free software this week including one that will let you dabble with Firefox 3 beta without messing with your current install of 2.0.

Huge range of great Sites and Services this week, a science site for uber boffins, a tricky way to get to know your keyboard and a site that looks to the future.

Also; your feedback much treasured and the GGP Mac Lab Rat (he is not really a rat…)

Thanks for being patient.

In tech this week; Facebook have second thoughts about Beacon, YouTube doing a bit more convenient censorship, Second Life’s Growth spurt and finally we have found a use for your PS3.

Applications this week sees a defragging app with a unique feature, AutoPatcher is back (wow what a story) and one way to catch a thief.

The sites and services this week are excellent so stick around, we have a killer app for live blogging and a new site that does “best of the web” very well to name a few.

As well as the usual segments and no rant from Knightwise we have the Mac Lab Rat, Featured Firefox extensions and your feedback. Please enjoy this weeks GGP!

There are a few firsts for The Podcast Network as well.

The show this week was recorded entirely in Second Life, thanks to Mike Seyfang. This is the first TPN Podcast recorded in Second life and Mike did a great job.

The show was also a joint show with the Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show. We talk to Dave Wallace (AKA Dave Koi) about Second Life and why he needed a Second Life. I talk about my first steps in Second Life and some tips and trick for noobs.

We also had an “in world” audience! I would like to extend my thanks to those that came to the Second Life recording session.

I don’t care what you think about Second Life, I would urge you put aside your ideas about what you think and listen to this weeks show and if nothing else, be inspired.

I sincerely hope that you are both challenged and inspired by Dave’s story and his life which is not so ordinary. I know that I am. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and thank the guys from The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show for helping make it happen.
