It’s time again to nominate your favourite podcasts for this year’s PodcastAwards! The nominations open July 1st. Please make sure to play by the rules or your nomination won’t count. As opposed to last year, some of the rules have changed, so please read carefully to not submit an invalid nomination.
Rules:
No repeat nominations. You can nominate your cast of favourite podcasts one time only.
You can nominate a show for Podcast of the Year or Best Produced, and also submit it to an individual category (such as Education).
A podcast can only be submitted in one individual category. If you submit a podcast to two individual categories, your nomination will not be counted.
An entirely and totally hypothetical example (*cough*):
Let’s assume you want to nominate TFTTF for the Education category and for Podcast of the Year. You go to the PodcastAwards web site and provide the information like this:
Category: Peoples Choice
Category: Education (nominate for one individual category only!)
Podcast name: Digital Photography Tips from the Top Floor
Podcast URL: http://www.tipsfromthetopfloor.com/
Ready to nominate? Is it July 1st yet? If yes - go to the PodcastAwards web site. And don’t forget: vote for all your favourite shows, they put a lot of hard work into the content they provide to you!

Chris asked me to come up with a quick little announcement show to fill you in on some important announcements. So here’s a TFTTF News Flash. Happy Birthday to the Logo Masta!
My apologies for a quick deviation from the photography theme, but here’s something I have to get off my chest.
Huh?! Wot??! Yesterday everything worked just fine, my trusty little Alesis iO|2 USB audio interface did a great job when recording Skype calls (something I do a lot as a podcaster) and today when I started to prep for another recording, it all of a sudden wouldn’t play back the other party’s sound to me. A quick look into the sound preferences showed me that the iO|2 was available as an output, but not as an input anymore. Reboot didn’t help either. Bummer.
Well, luckily I won’t let something like that stop me. Dug through my recording equipment for one of the Presonus Firepods, a Firewire interface that I normally use for mobile multi-track recording of live bands, and hooked that one up instead. Now the Firepod will record my voice, but it won’t play back the other side. Bummer 2.0.
While thinking about what on earth I changed in my setup to break things that bad, it dawned on me.. just a few hours ago, I had done the Mac OS X 10.4.10 update. Oh well.. I should probably have listened to the guys on Macbreak when they said one should wait for a week or two before jumping on an OSX update.
In the meanwhile, I’ll use two audio interfaces, one on Firewire for recording and one on USB for playback… and if things get too weird, I’ll revert to my (not yet updated) iMac for recording.
Mark your calendars! The PodcastAwards are just around the corner with nominations starting on July 1st!
Important change in rules: This time you can nominate your cast of shows ONLY ONCE.
