Show 88 - 3rd Anniversary part 2

podcast@itsafrogslife.net (Graham Holland) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:44:57 PDT

Show 88 - 3rd Anniversary part 2 - contains 12 more of my favourite songs from the last year of podcasting. Even though I've done two anniversary shows and played double the number from last year, it was still really difficult having to leave some songs out. This shows the high calibre of the music played on the podcast in the past 12 months, and long may it continue!

Show 85 - Stone the crows

podcast@itsafrogslife.net (Graham Holland) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:01:03 PDT

Show 85 - Stone the crows - has four songs linked in one way or another with crows. It's not quite a themed show because the rest of the songs have nothing at all to do with crows! The one thing all the songs have in common is that they are great acoustic tracks from UK artists. 'Nuff said.

Show 80 - Podcasting by numbers

podcast@itsafrogslife.net (Graham Holland) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:57:22 PDT

Show 80 - Podcasting by numbers - is the Easter 2009 music special, with more music and less talk than normal. And all of the songs on this show are connected in some way with numbers or counting. Ready? Three, two, one, let's go!

This podcast is dedicated to the memory of the 96 fans of Liverpool Football Club who lost their lives so tragically and needlessly in the Hillsborough disaster on 15th April 1989, to the families they left behind, and to those who continue to fight for justice. You'll never walk alone.

Show 79 - Comedy Special III

podcast@itsafrogslife.net (Graham Holland) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:01:00 PDT

Show 79 - Comedy Special III - has an extra special guest host in the form of Gary Dring from Clever Little Pod at cleverlittlepod.com. Many thanks to Gary who (literally!) dragged himself from his sickbed to record the show.

A special thanks also goes to John Bell over at the Bell's In The Batfry podcast at thebatfry.com who recorded the opening and closing segments with help from resident genius Arnie Cunchpard.

Along with Clever Little Pod, Bell's In The Batfry is my favourite comedy podcast and I'm honoured (and shocked!) that both Gary and John (and Arnie) agreed to take part in the show. Hey, it is April Fool's Day - more fool them!

Do me a favour and give them both a listen - you won't be disappointed!
