I am looking for a new person to help us run TPN’s backend.

Interested parties should email me with their CV. It doesn’t matter where in the world you live, as long as you are on broadband, and prepared to work your ass off to get a piece of TPN’s future.

The Mellow Monday Show has a new host hostess and her name is Gail Hunter. Yes, Mark has ingeniously turned the show over to his lovely wife. Couldn’t we all use some mellow music to help ease manic Monday’s? Go now and listen to Mellow Monday Show 34.
The Podcast Network continues to grow by adding great, new content every day! In case you hadn’t noticed, we are adding shows so fast that it’s hard to keep up! However, we will not let any sneak past without profiling them here, so you’ll never long for fresh and interesting new shows.
Most recently profiled was The Cleantech Show with Nick Bruse, who has already delivered five episodes featuring interviews with leaders in the technology. Upcoming posts will profile Quotiki and Education Transformation. Look for those in the next few days, or better yet, go explore them now! Quotiki has posted 15 shows that hosts Shawn and Richard produced prior to joining TPN, so you’ll have plenty of content to get you started. Ben Wilkoff, host of Education Transformation, has posted his first show with more following shortly.
Cleantech or clean tech (short for “clean technologies”) is generally defined as knowledge-based products or services that improve operational performance, productivity, or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or pollution. Its origin is the increased consumer, regulatory and industry interest in clean forms of energy generation—specifically, perhaps, the rise in awareness of global warming and the impact on the natural environment from the burning of fossil fuels.
Tune in to The Cleantech Show weekly to find out more from host Nick Bruse and his expert guests as they explore the latest developments in clean technology that are set to revolutionise the way we harness energy, manage resources, manufacture and transport, and live sustainably with environment. Nick’s broad experience and intimate knowledge of the industry provides enormous credibility to the show. Listen in as Nick speaks with other field leaders involved in cleantech research, entrepreneurship and investment on topics that range the spectrum of this leading-edge technology.
We are happy to announce that Tony Goodson is taking over hosting duties on The Productivity Show! Des and I just haven’t had time (ironic, I know Alanis) to get it done over the last six months, so I’m glad someone is taking it over. Tony has been listening to G’Day World and TPN since the very beginning. I remember having coffee with him in the city early in the history of G’Day World when he tried to convince me that I was the new Parky (Tony’s a pom). It’s fitting that Tony is taking over this show as he was our guest on the very first one we did, way back in June 2005. Welcome to TPN, Tony!
UPDATE: Tony just reminded me that of last weekend he is now officially an Aussie! Welcome to our fair country sir.
