Many moons ago, those lovely chaps @hicksdesign & @notxonhoj started the Rissington Podcast, a popular (and funny) podcast – Think of it as a web-geek version of Gardeners Question Time!
The podcast ran for 21 episodes and each one was well worth a listen. Unfortunately, the last episode became available at the end of Feb 2009 and there have been none since.
Now there are many many podcasts centred around the web industry, some are very good and some not so. I’ve tried many but none really had the banter that the Rissington Podcast had. I need that banter to keep me interested. As an analogy, Im a big petrol head. I love cars. Fifth Gear vs Top Gear. Its always going to be Top Gear because that’s hugely more entertaining & the banter between the 3 hosts is fantastic… even if the program is less about cars than Fifth Gear.
I’ve strayed somewhat.
ExplicitWeb is a regularly recorded podcast all about the front lines of website design and development. These typical half-hour shows are made up of hosts Rob, Hannah and John discussing the finer points of the industry, as well as sharing helpful tips and information for the savvy web professional.
ExplicitWeb has been running now for about 3 months now and have seen many tweets regarding each show from the presenters (@robhawkes, @erisds & @johnonolan) but have yet to listen in.
That changed yesterday as I grabbed the latest episode (episode 7 if you’re interested) and listened in on the way home. It was a very amusing episode and touched on some subjects which interest me. In fact, I had an interest in all 4 ‘sections’… ya’see, the podcast is split into 3 or 4 topics each lasting a maximum of 10 minutes. So bite-size chunks of web discussion!
I’ve subscribed now and will be listening to each episode when they become available. Do yourself a favour, and subscribe via iTunes!

Great heads’up for a great podcast, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it so far and I’m confident that the show will continue to improve and gain a wider audience.
Spread the word!

Indeed. I’ve been listening to some other episodes today and even though it’s rough around the edges, I do like it & will only get better as it goes on!
John, I’m thinking up some topics for you guys.

Awesome post Anthony, love it! It’s still early days for the podcast but we’re loving every minute of it and will only get better as time goes on.
We’re hoping to introduce more content from audience feedback soon.
