I'm shocked, the BBC seems to have ended its trial of video podcasts.. as someone who has a hectic schedule i'm somewhat limited in my ability to get my weekly dose of newsnight, question time and even panorama at times... I thought at first it was because i was traveling outside the UK at the time, but it turns out the trial has been discontinued... It wasn't a perfect substitute for watching the show, but it was a good dose of BBC current affairs i could watch when its convenient (one of the advantages of a video ipod). If the BBC does choose to continue (which i hope they do), it would be good if the full versions of these shows were available. However i do appreciate the edited versions of these shows, since they give me a chance to watch highlights when i'm taking a quick without the full blown program. The today program is a staple of my early morning wakeup ritual and the 10 minute chunk works well as a digestible piece of current events.

Just listening to yesterday's interview by John Humphrys of Jeremy Paxman. Two of the most capable interviewers going head to head... Personally i completely agree with Jeremy Paxman, the BBC should trim back, and concentrate on the things that it can only do. However John Humphrys is very good at holding his own, titantic battles :) For those of you who didn't here, for while its available check out Listen Again. I'll write about my thoughts a bit later.
