Episode 0.7.5: Send us a Google Plustule
Mon, 29/08/2011 - 7:45pm — Matthew DavidsonAs Ruben trots the globe, those of us left behind in Sawtell can assuage the emptiness of the sudden silence by listening to this old recording. Others in less urgent need can wait for the film version.
Sawtell Podcast - Episode 0.7.4 - Drink To Think.
Tue, 02/08/2011 - 12:37pm — Ruben HillierIn which Matthew, David (of Sawtywood), Rodus and Ruben discuss the film industry, this internet/facebook (they are interchangeable... aren’t they) thing and other stuff. This show is the first one to be edited by me, Ruben. By popular demand and using the incredible power of the delete button this episode is the shortest yet and comes in at just under an hour. Eventually we may reduce the whole show to mere seconds.
Episode 0.7.3: They're Popping Out!
Wed, 15/06/2011 - 10:33am — Matthew Davidson
It's been a while, and for once it's not (just) because of how long it took me to edit this episode. Subsequently we have a lot of nothing to talk about. I should have cut this into multiple episodes, but can't be bothered.
Episode 0.7.2: Bob Marley's Greatest Hits
Wed, 16/02/2011 - 10:55pm — Matthew Davidson
The second half of our increasingly "relaxed" conversation with Paul Templeton finally hits hot metal. I like this episode, because I'm not in it much and my friends are in it quite a lot.
Episode 0.7.1: Sawtyleaks
Fri, 31/12/2010 - 1:01am — Matthew DavidsonUnlike other, lesser, podcasts who are in an unseemly hurry to rush their recordings to market, we have again lovingly aged this episode for a couple of weeks in a hand-crafted oak hard drive, before decanting it into this presentation podcast episode that you can enjoy now, or leave for a few years to come to full immaturity. Coffs Harbour City Councillor, gadfly, womble-master, and all-round fine fellow Paul Templeton joined us to press the grapes of data into the juice of information, eventually tapping the barrels of knowledge to give you, our dear listener, these bottles of wisdom. The discerning listener will appreciate it's alarmingly complex aroma, with notes of burnt womble fur and dynamic lifter, it's unnecessarily prolonged finish, and robustly kinetic mouthfeel, unsettlingly reminiscent of a passage through American airport security.
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Elisabeth Beresford, who died a week after we made this recording, and continues to inspire people to make good use of the things that they find - things that the everyday folk leave behind.
Episode 0.7.0-rc2: Chicken Envy
Fri, 26/11/2010 - 9:01am — Matthew DavidsonOur conversation with Rodney continues, covering:
- the many ways non-human animals outsmart Matthew,
- Rodney's misspent youth in Coffs,
- Ruben's misspent youth in Cornwall,
- Matthew's unspent youth in the Sutherland Shire,
- trains are a Cornish invention, as are fireworks on a piece of string,
- Wikipedia is actually a part of your brain - well, it's a part of Ruben and Matthew's brains,
- Rodney's life in Japan,
- what Japanese cartoons have to teach us about the many uses of testicles,
- if given the opportunity, Matthew will unintentionally but inevitably ruin your relationship with your significant other,
- the regulation of alcohol consumption (Rodney for, Matthew against),
- reclaiming the streets of Coffs,
- Rodney's correspondence with Noam Chomsky, about Rodney's boat,
- Ruben's life in Israel during the Gulf War (episode 1),
- WTF are all these wars about, then? (Matthew forgets the name of Greg Palast)
Episode 0.7.0-rc1: Your Mother Shouldn't Know
Wed, 10/11/2010 - 11:18pm — Matthew DavidsonBecause I've been really slack about editing and am about to leave town for a week, consider this the teaser for the fuller episode to follow. Rodney Degens joined us for a delightful recording session last week, and all going well, the rest of the proceedings will be posted here next week.

Episode 0.5: It's Neither Muckling Nor Mickling
Mon, 06/09/2010 - 12:59pm — Matthew DavidsonA mere week and a half post-production turnaround time brings you some old news about shops moving around in Sawtell, ruminations on real estate, whales, Wikileaks, consumerism, and @mjd's plan for saving the world / theory of why we're all doomed. Also we still don't have a Prime Minister, and dear old Christopher Hitchens is steadfastly refusing to describe himself as "battling cancer".
We also have a chat about the film Billy Liar, probably not available at your local video store, but well worth a look via whatever mechanism you can find (** cough! **).
Episode 0.4: I'm Not Tired, I'm Just Resting My Eyes
Wed, 21/07/2010 - 1:49am — Matthew DavidsonIn which we spend a lot of time conveying a very small amount of news you already knew and try to analyse in detail the forty-seven year history of Doctor Who. I think it went on a smidge too long.
Aged for a fortnight while I recovered from an implausible sequence of technical disasters.
As usual some samples from freesound.org. Music by Fusz. Other snippets, including the one from this splendid talk by Sir Ken Robinson, we consider to be fair dealing, fair use, fair play, fair to middling, a fair weather friend, or all of the above. Bring it on, Auntie Beeb! Do your worst!
