The final straw for Ustream came when I couldn’t get the broadcasting service to begin recording anything for podcast episode 16 last night. I was logged in and broadcasting live, but when I pressed the record button after a few seconds it came u with a ‘failed recording’ message repeatedly. Clearly there was no choice, the time had come to switch over to an alternative service and the one I had lined up as most promising to try next is Livestream.com

So here’s the new bookmark for the Andy Roberts Podcast Live Show every Tuesday at 7.00pm :

The multiple interfaces for broadcasting are a little more complicated than I had been used to ( but anyway, Ustream made it more difficult recently) so I’m not up to speed yet and was definitely a little thrown out last night, but it won’t take too long to get the hang of it.
If you only ever listen to the downloaded podcasts in your own time then you shouldn’t notice any difference at all really, but you may like to try turning up to the live event once in a while, to see what it’s like. Apparently you don’t even need to register an account in order to join in the text chat there.
On the performance itself, you will find a medley of Beatles songs and one Lennon solo sandwiched between a couple of original songs.
Here’s the links and shownotes for podcast episode 16 then:
