The interview focused on the band's recent visit to Boston for PodCamp, and their success with podcasting as a promotional medium. Unfortunately Bandwidth doesn't archive their shows, so to hear it you'll either have to listen live on the radio in the listening area (in Ontario but NOT in Toronto) or check out the live stream from the website: http://www.cbc.ca/bandwidth/ 2) Uncle Seth are very proud to be nominated once again for the Toronto Independent Music Awards. This year the band is nominated in the category of "Classic Rock"... hmmm, don't really feel old enough to be a classic but what the heck!

We cannot say enough about the event that organizers Chris Brogan, Christopher S.

You are all amazing, and we thank you from the deepest depths of our Canadian hearts.

Monday, September 04, 2006 Podcasting PSA - "You Don't Need An iPod"
Back in July, I did an interview with John C. Haven's from the About.com Guide To Podcasting about Uncle Seth's involvement with, well, podcasting. After we did the interview, John asked if Uncle Seth would be interested in recording a "public service announcement" about podcasting, and in particular emphasizing that listening to podcasts does NOT require an iPod (a common misconception). We thought this sounded like fun, so John sent along some rough lyrics. We worked these up into a little ditty, and I created some kooky-animation to go along with it.
We released this on YouTube yesterday. Hope you enjoy it! Please comment here or on the YouTube site, and feel free to share with your friends and colleagues via the nifty "Share" button in the window. Oh yeah, there's also an MP3 version on this page for podcasters (and anyone else) to play. It's 100% "podsafe" John, thanks again for inviting us to do this, and we look forward to seeing you (and many others) at PodCamp in Boston!

An excellent FREE outdoor Uncle Seth show is coming up that we wanted to let you know about:
Pedestrian Sundays in Kensington Market Nassau St & Augusta Ave in Toronto Sunday May 28 - yup, that's just 6 days away! Joining us on drums will be very special guest Bram Cayne from the great band Tranquil. Bram will be filling in for Chris who will be off in Ottawa running a marathon. Crazy drummers... We played a couple of Pedestrian Sundays last year and had an AMAZING time! It's a terrific way to spend an afternoon, and we'd love to see you there. The band will play two sets, at approximately 2 pm again at approximately 5 pm. Uncle Seth Podcast #6: Trivia from My Trivia Podcast

This week: Canadian trivia provided by the wonderful Will from My Trivia Podcast. The band (for the most part) manages to stay on track and answer the questions. Listen and see how you do! And be sure to check out My Trivia Podcast at http://www.mytriviapodcast.com/. Also, because we mentioned it during the podcast we'd also like to give a plug for Podcasters Across Borders in Kingston Ontario in just over a month. In conjunction with the conference Uncle Seth will be playing on June 24th at The Merchant Taphouse with amazing opening band Dala. This FREE show is open to the public. Music: A Little Bit More - live recording from March 7, 2006 at C'est What in Toronto. Monday, May 15, 2006 Uncle Seth Podcast #5: TV We're Crackin' Out On |
