“Ethics Bites” podcast


Big thanks to Nigel from Philosophy Bites for telling me about the companion podcast “Ethics Bites” which you can get from here on the interweb or through iTunes by clicking here…
It contains some episodes which are also in the Philosohpy Bites podcast, but mostly this stuff is completely fresh and separate.
Brilliant :-)

Podcast Of The Year :: Philosophy Bites


It’s little wonder that Philosophy Bites has made it into iTunes Best Podcasts of 2008
This has to be my top podcast of the year. Week after week of simply conducted yet wonderfully enlightening discussions with contemporary philosophers and academics on a vast array of subjects, from the most abstract concepts to utterly relevant and applied questions such as the meaning of ‘tolerance’ and the ethics of bombing civilians.
It’s been some time since I studied Philosophy at Uni (and had a blast actually…) so it’s a serious pleasure to keep the old noggin ticking over with this thought-provoking and totally engaging series.

Absolutely top stuff. Keep up the good work guys :-)

To subscribe to Philosophy Bites you can either visit their website here or if you prefer to go directly via iTunes then you should click here…
It’s impossible to recommend it highly enough.

El Grumblio

Why do *ALL* of the Learn Spanish podcasts and audiobooks teach you how to order a bloody coffee with bloody milk, and why do *NONE* of them teach you how to have any kind of meaningful discussions about life or sport or something?
Why????

Oh – and it’s Café con leche by the way…

The Rain Dogs

The latest recordings by my solo music project, The Rain Dogs. These are tracks I'm pulling together over a period of time - some old and some new - and just putting out online for sharing.

Smallcreep

My 'formerly industrial' band with my mate Rob. We grew out of wanting to be another NIN some time back and have developed into a far more interesting, singular, challenging and fun. With Rob's emigration to the USA, our way of working and creating was fundamentally altered, but we continued to push the boundaries of possible musics as we always have. Rob's return holds promise to pick things up some more - to develop more ideas, sketchpads, rhythms and approaches to keep us on the cutting edge - and maybe a refreshed approach which might even see us revisit and complete our unfinished masterpiece "BACKLASH". Yeah, right...

Rivercity

Fifteen minutes into the future, a hot, dry summer in Hull: Coates, a researcher and investigator, is hired to trace the whereabouts of missing adolescent Dominic Russell.
Is he the latest in a number of gruesome blood-letting murders attributed to the city’s “Marginals” that exist somewhere in the underbelly of the population?
That’s what the Police say, but it’s not what the boy’s mother believes - and as Coates digs deeper into that underbelly he discovers that Dominic’s disappearance is just a tiny part of a much bigger story: one that will bring his world crashing down and endanger all those around him...

Rivercity is a book that can be read at many levels, weaving a main plot - a clear homage to the “noir” detective genre - with a vampire story and a myriad of strands about perception and reality, human nature, signs, superstitions, the histroy of Hull, aesthetics, the occult and political expediency. Above all it's a novel about philosophy and the nature of truth and knowledge in the electronic age.
