As a New Year gift to you all, I have just uploaded four new shows to the WONZ Show page. Two are 2004 recordings from our ebsite launch and Air Force Reunion, the first ever event that the website had - now the forum carries on that tradition. They are recordings of Bryan Cox (WWII RNZAF Corsair pilot) and Ross Horton (RNZAF Padre dedicating our Cambridge Air Force memorial plaque). The others are two new shows, with well known forum members Bruce Cooke and Peter Lewis. Listen and see more here: www.cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZ_Show.html |

Great, I'm saving these for when I've got longer drive to do.

How remiss of me, I meant to add to my post above a special thanks to Bruce Cooke who helped me get those four new shows up online and avaialble by using his broadband yesterday. Many thanks Bruce, and sorry for forgetting this note.

Thanks Dave, and a Happy 2012 to you and all forum members. I enjoyed listening to some of the new podcasts last night and will cover the rest this week. many thanks to all concerned for getting these podcasts up and running, particularly Dave and of course Bruce for the most recent ones. Cheers for the New Years gift, as always I enjoyed learning about another aspect of NZ aviation. Great stuff. :-)

As far as the server space goes I as of yet know no further information. I am waiting to speak to the chap to find out more. All I know is it is apparently limitless and free. If there is no bandwidth allowance, what does that mean? Is it useless? Regarding iTunes, ok, I didn't know that it works that way automatically. I've never subscribed to any shows, I just download stuff as I decide to. I can see a benefit to this though if it can be set up, but again I am clueless as to what to do to make sure it's always the same RSS feed. I don't even know what RSS stands for! I'm begining to think this is all to complex for my rusty brain and I need an IT guy or girl to take over the dealings after I have recorded and edited a show. Any volunteers? I've had a go at writing the XML file for the RSS feed. If you want me to email it to you, PM me and I'll email you it. www.podcast411.com/howto_1.html - I've been reading over this and it now makes sense to me. It might be of use to you. www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html - This is helpful too. Once you get your head around it, it's pretty simple really. |

Thanks Luke. It looks like the way the shows is hosted is about to change with a server host kindly offering free space, so I have to get all the details of what that is about and work out how it will work before I set up the RSS feed I guess. I can then possible reload the old shows onto the new server as well as new ones so they are all in the same place.
When I get a moment I'll take a look at those links. Cheers.

I think I've got the XML perfected, so once you have the server sorted I'll complete all the links to the MP3 files in the script then send you the XML so that you won't have to do anything in terms of setting up the RSS feed other than upload the XML to the directory in your website then submit the feed to iTunes. |

Sideswipe mentions the Forum, not the Show.

Just a little update, in the past week I have recorded two new shows, both of which I think are pretty excellent. On Tuesday I sat down with Jim Mungall (Shamus) and Don Subritzky in Don's hangar and we talked about Hawker Hinds and Don's collection. This is a 55 minute show, and the topics discussed are most fascinating and entertaining.
On Wednesday I attended the New Zealand Bomber Command Association's meeting at MOTAT and was able to record a very interesting speech given by Dambuster pilot Tony Iveson who is visiting from Britain.
Both are edited and ready to go but I don't know whether to upload them now or wait till I get my new sponsored webspace up and running, which is taking a little longer than hoped. It's over to you all, the listeners, do you want to hear these now or can you wait?
I have a number of shows lined up too but again I am trying to sort out the webspace and also the telephone recording connection, so those of you waiting to be interviewed please hold off a little longer till I get everything lined up and we get a better recording. I hopoe it will all be sorted out soon. The face to face recordings have been pretty good in quality I think, it's just the telephone audio quality that has let me down a bit.

Brilliant, Dave.
Whatever is best for you with regard to putting up the new recordings.
