Brilliant mate... Sounds like a good plan.

Have a listen to the audio promo on the protest site if you haven't already
to see the kind of stuff I produce.

You'll be fine and the content is as important as the quality so, go for it.

Thanks Paul. I will let you know. It will be my first podcast of any kind. 
I've re-scheduled it for tomorrow afternoon as I have an hospital
appointment in the morning. If there is going to be any difficulties with
the app during the podcast I will be open and honest about it because I want
every one to know about it's positive points and it's short comings just so
that we as a group can discuss it and may be take it further by contacting
Nokia in the long run.
