For the past few weeks, my friend Ian and I, have been working on a little project called DigitalOutbox. We’ve always had a huge interest in the latest technology, gadgets, games and computing, so we though it’s about time we made something of it and put ourselves to the test.

We will be producing weekly podcasts covering the latest tech news, gadgets, games and all things digital. The podcasts will be available to download and stream directly from our new website – DigitalOutbox. You can subscribe to the blog posts and the podcasts, directly from our website. Additionally, you can also subscribe to the podcasts, directly from within iTunes. The podcast will be available as a standard podcast and an enhanced podcast which will include chapters and album art. Each podcast will be published accompanied with shownotes detailing the topics covered and also include website links where relevant.

Of course there are plenty of podcasts out there covering the exact same subject matter, some with extremely high production standards. We both felt that what was lacking was a UK focus and the presentation more laid back and easier for the listener to digest. We want our style to be more approachable and easier for all listeners to understand, with less techno jargon and more relevancy to what would interest most folks rather than only focusing on the technically minded. All of this is presented with some friendly banter and a few laughs to entertain, delight and educate. Our intention is to eventually introduce vidcasts and possibly also video reviews of gadgets and games. We also hope to produce video tutorials and screencasts covering all manner of things, in the very near future.

It is a challenging project for both of us in terms of experience, obviously, and also time and commitment towards our careers and family life. We have never done anything like this before and this will definitely be noticeable in our first podcast – lots of “erm’s”, nervous laughs and occasional pauses. We will endeavor to make your listening experience as pleasant as we can and promise to do better as we get more practice and become more confident. We welcome and encourage all feedback, comments and suggestions. If you think there are things we are doing wrong, tell us! If there are things that we do or say that you like, brilliant! Let us know!
