Thanks Benny!

- I still hope that some people will post a mp3 recording because like me others may not be 'wake', home of able to listen to it live.

Thanks!

Hey Kars,

As far as I know, the podcasts are in mp3 format and you can download them a few hours after the actual broadcast. Also, they break down the files into the individual interviews so you don't have to download the whole 2.5 hour program. The podcasts should stay on the website for several days at least.

I think for you the live broadcast would be maybe 10:50pm the night before? That's if i've got my daylight savings right

Cheers mate,
Ben

 

[Kars]

Thanks Benny mate,

Somehow I still get confused with the AM and PM designations, thinking AM means After Midday, and PM Post Midday, even now it's confusing.. so to avoid mistakes I usually use the 'military' 'hundred' time system, 01:24 - 16:00 - 24:00 etc.

So 7:50 would be 19:50 Australian?
Wasn't Australia running Ahead of GMT? Well I guess your 10 for GB is correct, than for the Netherlands, Germany, France, etcetera 9 hours earlyer, is:
Wednesday 15 April 2009 10:50.

Am I correct?

Again thanks for bringing it together!

Kars

 

[BennyB]

Ok I had to get Mr Google to help me here

It's 0750 Australia time which is in the morning, which is 1150 Netherlands time the previous night.

What makes it even crazier Kars is that sometimes around this time of year we have the three states on the eastern side of Oz all on different times, as they either finish daylight savings on different weekends or don't have daylight savings at all!

Cheerio,
Ben

 

[Kars]

I just listened to the pod-cast, it's a really short interview, with a little mishap on the host' account, but still good publicity.

Well done Walter!

Does anyone have the podcast that can be sent to me please?

I was in transit when it all went down.

Thanks

[BennyB]

It's online and I have a link to it somewhere Kieran, i'll post it when I find it.

Cheers,
Ben

Found it!

Unfortunately there was a guy talking about Tasmanian agriculture that ran way overtime (and hellishly boring) so Wal didn't get a huge spot but it's still a great listen.

Cheers,
Ben
